So here I am. 27 and returning to study after taking time to settle down and have my 3 children. I am starting with DD101 in October 2012 and I won't lie, I'm beginning to feel more scared than excited. I would be really interested to hear from anyone else who is studying for their Psychology degree and juggling it with work and raising a family, even if just to compare notes and discuss ways of keeping on top of it all .

Hi, I am also starting this module in October & really nervous!

Although I have no children I think I will find it difficult juggling it with my job. I have so much respect for people with a family and a job taking this big step and I am sure there will be so much support in the forums from other parents.

Definitely good to find other people on the same module for support :-)

Hi, I'm 24 and starting this course in October too juggling with my full time job of being a live in Nanny, no children of my own but obviously have the little one 12 hours plus a day 5 or 6 days a week so I'm nervous about being disciplined and organised enough to do this!

Am based in the Tamworth area if there's anybody around here and wanting a study buddy or general course related chats or even just to blow off steam when we have steam coming out of our ears from the course lol!

Hi, here I am at 50(!!) with husband, two teenage kids and an (almost) full time job + two dogs to walk. I think I must be mad, but I really want to do this. Even finding my way around the website is a challenge!

I am starting DD131 this October, my first time being an OU student. Good luck to everyone but especially to all those other mummies out there who are going to be juggling, juggling, juggling to get it all done!

PS Anyone near Norwich? Do get in touch.
