P.S
And how great it is to see that you are able to look forwards now after your BR [:)]

Thanks Debbie, I have infact already studied previously with the OU but i've been stuck in the house for four years looking after my lovely daughter so would really like to get out and about and meet new people.

I am definately not a supporter of incurring more debt, against a background of former insolvency, however there is responsible borrowing and irresponsible borrowing.

In my book, taking on a student loan to help with further eduction has got to be a demonstration of responsible borrowing, and if the Student Loans company are prepared to share that risk with you I would go for it. However, I would also at this point in time formulate a repayment plan in your mind for the future, and ensure that the loan is paid off as soon as you possibly can rather than just by minimum instalments, and choose a subject where you will be sure to get a better paid job. In this way you will feel that you are doing something responsible towards rebuilding your future.

i am a great believer in further education and there is always funding out there for different courses, so look on the net and seek, lol, one of my first ports of call is business link to see what they have on offer and what kind of funding is in place, i went through them 2yrs ago to do a level 5 nvq which is equivalent to a degree, i got european funding and boss had to pay 650 which isn't bad if it was your self even, some courses offer a bursary which is never advertised so ask!! i have all my staff on courses at the moment which are funded by european funding, so costs them nothing and they will come out with nvq 3's my advice is thoroughly look at your courses and see if there is any funding i have done alsorts in the last 5 yrs which have basically cost me nothing, just through research, just a thought.
