Centrelink Assistance and Austudy

[Lulu]

Ok, if your DH earns more than $899 per fortnight you wont be entitled, there is an eligibility calculator on there under Austudy.

ah thanks Lulu!.... bugger!!!!

Oh well looks like im stuck with living without the education I have always dreamed of and will have to do FDC.

Crap, i really dont want to do FDC.

[Lulu]

You can still have a go - maybe do it one unit at a time or something?

[Kitt3n]

Thank Lulu i tried - when i left x I went into full time work and started up uni via correspondence.

by the time i got round to even starting to think about my books it was 9:30pm and my brain ws shutting down, not starting up for study! I just couldn't do it. Cant imagine doing it now with a 7 year old and another baby on the way.

I hated myself so much for quitting, there were many many tears and i know ill just let myself down again if i only take it on part time.

Thanks anyway xx

Oh I hear ya! I did the same too, it was sooo bloody hard.

I'd be qualified by now....

Eeer yuck FDC. Why don't you try nightfill - you dont have to worry about CC costs?

[Kitt3n]

Yeah true Lulu, i might look into that - so many options, never enough money! lol.

Might work out to have more money in my pocket as a checkout chick rather than my current role and paying child care! Its so crazy.

Anyone else have any ideas for evening roles? I can afford to have a full 6 months off work but then i need some form of income - so from around July next year.
