Ahh that sounds like a really interesting job, i think if you can work from home or closer to home - go for it, even if it is to save for a holiday in the summer.
I did work from home until yesterday but i was made redundant, thankfully have a new job lined up starting at some time over the next week or 2 in a bank xx

Congratulations on the new job so soon, that is good news.
Did you enjoy working from home? Were you able to stay motivated, or did you find yourself putting the washing on and maybe watching loose women?

or is that just me

Yes i was told 2 weeks before xmas and i was worried coz of bills and debt etc, just applied for every job and went to 3 interviews for the job in the bank and found out just a day or 2 before xmas that i got it

Before i had my baby, i spent all day doing 5/6 hours work because i did get distracted by housework or tv etc but after i went back after having her i just knuckled down and got on with it, sooner i finished the sooner i collected her!

I am sure you will enjoy working from home a day or 2 a week and then going out to work will be good aswell. I haven't "gone" out to work for 3 yrs since doing the work from home job, slightly nervous.

I'm sure you will love it. You are bound to be nervous, but it'll soon go when you get into a routine. I used to work in a bank and loved it. I really hope it works out for you, I'm sure it will.

What date do you start? I start my new job on 2nd Feb and I found out just before Christmas as well. What a coincidence!!

Thank you for the reply - yes hopefully it won't take me long to get into a new routine. Ohh which bank did you work for? I have to sign my contract and send it off, should be end of Jan. Good luck for the 2nd Feb - i may have just started by then or just starting!!!

I don't mind you asking at all. I am 43 and I have two children. DS is 13 (14 in March) and DD is 5 (6 in March). Hence the term time only working and covering school holidays!!!

15 months is a lovely age, they are learning so much and smiley at that age.
Does she go to Nursery?

smarties84

Ahh your son is a teenager - how are you finding that!! I have a step daughter who is 5 also, she is a real handfull compared to my 15 month old.
The baby goes to mother in laws and my mums when i work, i am lucky!!! She is such a joy at the moment, gettin so funny and clever - she makes me laff all of the time. Teething badly at the moment tho x

rubydoiwannabee

He is a good boy most of the time except when he turns into Kevin!!!
Oh poor little one with teething, that can be a trying time for you both.

I'm goining to sign off now thanks ever so for the chat, it was really nice.

smarties84

LOL @ Kevin - oh i was deffo one of those, female version tho!
Teething is terrible, esp when you have tried everything and they still cry!
Yes thank you for chatting also, shall speak again very soon. Nitey nite.
