I've been meaning to write this for a week or so now - but time as usual has flown away from me.
I want to say a massive thank you to everyone who's donated - after some drama with PayPal (who thought we should be set up as a not for profit because we had a 'donate' button on our payment page and then required all manner of proof that we're exempt from tax (we're not) and all manner of other stuff) I can confirm we've now pre-paid 6 months for the server hosting!
So, a huge thank you to everyone who's stepped up and helped us in our hour (or year!) of need. Any further donations that continue to come in will be put straight onto the hosting account too. Thank you, your support is greatly appreciated.
And thank you to everyone for the words of encouragement regarding the University degree - I know a number of you on here have gone to Uni as mature age students and come out the other end doing what you've always wanted to do, so I am encouraged and buoyed by your support and encouragement! It's going well so far - not as easy as I thought it might be though!
