How Do You Live?

Sundae, as far as I know there is financial assistance available for OU as long as your household income is less than £30 k a year. It'll be on a sliding scale like the loans and grants for regular uni. So if your income is less than (i think) £20k a year, you'd get the maximum available.

(though I haven't taken account of London Weighting in that).

We are far from rich, and always have put our family relationships above all else.
To the point that I gave up a good paying job in the steel mill for the least paying job there as a janitor while our boys were growing up so that I could get off of the swing shift and work steady daylights to be home in the evenings as a family. (runon sentence)

After the boys grew up I went back to the swing shift jobs for money we really needed for a while.
But it was so totally worth those years of being a "sanitary engineer".
Now I have a decent paying job and steady daylights. WOOT!
