i was told by student finance today that I am not eligible for a loan 
i'm so upset and angry and who knows what
i can't finance myself for this course, so i don't know what i am going to do
i sure as shit don't want to give it up
for the first time since my mum died i have felt like i've had direction and meaning in my life, and now this.
life is never simple....

What was their excuse?
i don't know all your details, so can only suggest one further option at the moment... try this link for a career development loan (CDL)...
what happens with this is that you can borrow up to 8k to cover two years of your course... it is a deferred repayment bank loan. The DfES pays interest on this loan while you are in 'training', but you start making repayments (including further interest payments) ONE MONTH after you finish the course... so you'd need to be set up with a job when you finish...
the other catch is that you have to work within the EU after training...
i recommend going to the college SU for guidance first thing tomorrow... i'm no expert, i only teach at Uni... if there is anything i can do, post or mail me through 'contacts'...
stick with it hon'... i did my degree after my mum died and re-evaluated where i was... i would have been devestated if i'd had to stop for some reason...
