Would you be entitled to tax relief on any of the course related payments that you have made? (I suspect not in this case but worth checking...)

Working 3 days per week and husband unemployed it is unlikely that the OP would be a taxable person.

In some areas Vincent de Paul have an education budget to help young students who are trying to improve their skills
