I did a bit of research and it doesn’t look like the Open University does a BSc in Nutritional Therapy (unless I’ve missed something), although the University of West London does - a 5-year course, distance learning with the occasional day in, just short of £3,000 p.a. but nearly double that in the final year.
I still don’t think she’ll stick at it though. Can you imagine her taking any kind of critique from a tutor? She who knows everything and is brilliant at everything (in her head only)?

So, she needs UCAS points for this, but mature students are allowed to enter with the “relevant work experience” and applications are discussed on an individual basis.

Do we think 10 years of making extra smol portions counts as relevant work experience?

My only other comment on those stories is that the pumpkin really should be a swede*
😏.

*yes. A swede. Not a turnip.

I don't remember trick or treating being a thing when I was a kid. It's only just getting to be something here now - normally when a gang of kids turns up at your door, it means you're getting robbed tbh, so it tends to be people posting on local FB groups that their house is participating. The shopping centre always does a trick or treat trail for the kids, which is a fun thing for them to do, and they end up with loads of sweets.

Jack's always been fond of a boiler suit. She thanks her grandad (who is DEAD) for her love of them. I bet she's just got it for her dressing up box really. We all know she loves a good costume - Mary Poppins, Belle, poor person

No trick or treat when I were young, it was penny for the guy, bonfire night was a much bigger deal.

Halloween has always been a big thing in Scotland, we went guising which means you got dressed up and went round neighbours houses singing a song or telling a joke and getting sweets. We also had big parties at school and Brownies.

Trick or treating came a lot later, from what I've heard a lot of England didn't really do Halloween till recently.

fellow scot here, I remember getting money out guising, not sweets. Unless we were just lucky in visiting folk who were unprepared 😄

I was born at the end of the 80s in England. Halloween wasn't a thing for me until 2000 ish. A lot still didn't celebrate it. However when I had kids we lived in an area where there were lots of young families, there was always a party and trick or treating, the schools here often put on Halloween discos. As a result we’ve carved many pumpkins, I don't know how Jack has got away with 11 years of parenthood without getting involved. I wonder if her street is too posh/elderly for Halloween, but what about those local kids?

Her name and probably some references got her in. She does have a name( even of its a minor celeb, )name for herself.

Oh so you begrudge Jack going out and spending £44 quid on a boilersuit and a tenner on a face mask and 5-10 quid on dye and 35 squid on a moving Halloween decoration like can’t she have NICE THINGS she does WORK you know in a low paid job, wonder if that’s where she got the £100 quid from 🙃

Pretty sure she reckons “no spend” is short for “no spend(ing my own money)

This is why I refuse to believe she’s ever built any savings, it’s so cheesy and I’ve defs been indoctrinated by Martin Lewis but it really is a mindset? Because of him I always ask myself questions before buying *anything* that isn’t food lmao and it’s evident Jack just doesn’t think twice about buying anything, even a £40 dickies jumpsuit she could have worn for years instead of ruining for Halloween? It’s not as if this dog is useful and it’ll probably be destroyed in yet another house move. Just insanity.
