aw sorry to hear that hun but Miss July is right, youre not out yet. With regard to the diploma and degree only you can decide. Will the degree give you a fantastic guaranteed job opportunity that will give your children a lovely life but take you away from them hours wise or would it be wise to have another baba now while youre wanting one and ready and take up the degree later? I started a degree over a year ago and it was very hard, very boring and very long winded, needless to say, sadly, I gave up ! x
