free or cheap online courses

[mizzy25]

My life is quite boring and I am a facebook addict and it needs to stop. So I was thinking of doing an online course in something like History like the romans or something but I cant seem to find what im looking for. It all seems to be about the war. Can anyone point m in the right direction please? Failing that give me ideas of what course I could do. Prefrably free or @ least inexpensive. It would be rather nice to gain a qualification in the process too. thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Mizzy, there are loads of cheap courses on Wowcher, i know what you're saying about life, mines quite boring too :sleep:

I was thinking about volunteering at a local charity shop just to get me out of the house as i'm turning into a bit of a hermit :shocked:

Hope you find something you enjoy xxx

Thanks rubymoo I do get out of the house, I walk the dogs every morning which ive done for about 20 years (its like groundhog day lol) I work cleaning houses in the afternoon a lot of the time theres nobody in so im bored, I do a few classes as well like kettlebells and zumba but there only an hour. I also race me dogs on a weekend but that's not been on lately due to the bad weather. So was just wanting to have something to do instead of constantly been on facebook.

Your welcome mizzy, i can't walk one of my dogs at the moment as he's had an operation on his leg (elbow dysplasia), my other dog just gets a little march round the field (she's not a good walker, she'd rather be free to do as she pleases!) My girls are at school and hubby at work, so i spend too much time on the computer being non productive, which i feel bad about - silly really! I should do an exercise class but i lose interest and end up quiting:(

There are some really interesting courses on wowcher, i might take one up myself, so thank you for getting me to look :wavey:

The Open University offer loads of courses and modules, although you do have to pay for it and it's not cheap. I don't know about concessions or anything but they offer an amazing range of subjects and it's not a bad place to start. Also look at your local Further Education college and the Adult Education department of your local council. Good luck!
