Studying based in UK

Just looking to pick the brains of any single Mums that are studying full time in uni? Or part time?

I’m really trying to figure out how to better my situation. I’m 28, my son is 5 so in school now. I wfh 23.5 hours a week and get some commission so it’s a really good job for my current situation, but not a forever job. I also need to earn more ofcourse. Currently I come out with just over £2000 total combined from work and UC. I can’t manage dipping below this, I barely make it work as it is as I’m still paying off a credit card for my Car.

Id love to study, I have the grades to get into uni. But I understand UC deduct 100% of your maintenance loan. Does anyone know what the bursary for single parents looks like? Or any additional grants?

Cash surveys

Hello all
Does anyone have any genuinely good survey sites where you make pocket money? I'm finding i need an extra fiver here and there but my budget is so tight already.
Something that genuinely works please. I do Yougov but it takes almost a whole year to get the £50 voucher! I do have a lot of spare time to do these
TIA x

Looking for a bestie 💚

Near or far. I am looking for someone who likes gossip, wants to trauma dump, and talk about partners and motherhood. Judgment free!!!
If you're from Massachusetts/new hampshire and coffee dates, bookstores, plant shops,or parks/zoo are your thing. Hit me up!

Does anyone else get quite lonely being a SAHM?

As much as I love spending time with my son, I miss having conversations with people. Unfortunately my other friends are too busy to speak, and I don't speak to my family as much as I would like to as there is always drama. But day in day out I am at home with my boy and my only interaction sometimes is my partner when he comes home. It's really starting to get to me now especially since I'm 17 weeks pregnant with our second child. Would love to make some new friends who I can get along and have a cuppa' with...if you feel the same please say hi..🙈

Looking for a bestie

Hey I’m a mom of 6 and when I was pregnant last year I lost my two best friends due to me being pregnant and couldn’t do all the fun stuff or drinking with them so they kinda pushed me away. Now here I am with no mommie friends. Located in Detroit mi (east side )
