I am in the third week of my Capstone at this point. I recommend taking the DSST for ethics. It takes a week of study if you follow the guidelines of this forum. I just completed the Uexcel written english requirements and they are simple but you must follow the study guides verbatim and practice your essays. Try to CLEP out of the history/social science, it should take about a week of study. I took the DSST History Civil war, History Vietnam but the required about 1.2 weeks of study because you need to read a couple of text books for each. If you are still somewhat proficient and basic math you should CLEP this and use the CLEP study guides.
The difficult part will be the Capstone. It is taking about 10 hours a day and I just put in for a month of non-vacation from work in order to complete it. You also have to put in weekends. I have a similar experience to yours and the capstone is the only real course I have attended in the last 20 years. You be be careful to follow the instructions to the tee! Also if you have conservative values do not let them show it will hurt you.
