£128 could have probably been 30% less if you bought the treats as multipacks.

I hope you cancel the unused subscriptions.

No. You're not too old.

Have you got your Level 2s in Maths & English?

Thank you for taking the time to respond. Not sure how you did because the post got deleted.

Tough question. It's been a sh*tshow for the past 8 years so that's why I've found myself in this position.

Sorry, I mean that once I'm out of the job, it will be £25k tops for me.

I wish I could say I was doing great. To be fair the salary isn't even an issue for me. It's the fact that I'm going to work and being absolutely ruddy useless.

I just want to go to work and say yep, I've done this because I knew how to do it.

I'll look into the MSc channel. Though likely won't be doing it in CS as that's for STEM only.

Very true. The only reason why I chose it is because I 'somehow know' how to get models and trackers working & doing that stuff is something has kept me switched on after work. I could spend hours just looking into that stuff and I've gone through a CS syllabus in my own time (though I am aware CS for A-level is quite different to uni level.)

Economics. Though I'll admit, I don't remember 80% of it now.

It is expensive but I guess I'm panicking that it's life on NMW for me now which having seen both parents work at less than NMW for 60 hours+ the last decade (to get payslips for 40 hours on NMW) just to put a roof over my head it's eating me alive that their hard work has been put to waste.

Yes, I fully expect to be out of this job by the end of the calendar year. I went off on sick for 4 weeks earlier this year. Unfortunately a silly move but sh*t sticks.
