What's your top tip for other student parents?
Make sure you begin your work as soon as you're given it. Don't
leave it all to the few days before or you'll be stressed out.
Obviously you don't have as much time on your hands as other
parents; take your work in small steps when you can get a little
time in peace.

Once my son was not well and I had work due in that week, I was
looking after him and trying to do the work at the same time!
How do you cope with money?
I obviously have to budget. I set out what i need for rent,
bills, food, things we need and then see what is left over.
What do you wish you had known before you started?
You can get most of your childcare paid for you!
