 Can anyone advise me what to ask for and how much? Reading the forms it says list up to 3 things-do people do that? DS is now home educated as couldn't cope in school , I've had to drastically reduce my working hours so we're struggling. A laptop would be fantastic for him for schoolwork but he's also seeing all the neighbours going off on holiday and keeps asking to go on a plane. Any adice gratefully received, Maz x |

I got a lot of advice from a site called education otherwise, lots of parents who've been there and done it with home education. We didnt need financial support but I am sure many parents do and maybe they'll have the answer for you?
Also freegle (formerly freecycle) are very good at helping get items like laptops/pcs etc. Our local Chester one has a bloke who has recycled over 260 computers to new homes
