I love creme eggs but I will have one when I feel I really need one rather than just because...go PM, go PM.

Daffers, the reason I went back to work so early with all my kids was because I went quickly mental at home...but then I can't relate much to babies....I can to toddlers....and I actually loved my job.
I am so looking to going part time now but its taken me a long time to come to terms with this...
You can only give it a go and especially if you don't like your job in particular now and OH working away...give yourself a break, stop at home and enjoy being a mumQuality is doing something right when no one is looking - Henry Ford

my BMI is 30.
*faints*
Now I was going to join Tesco's diets but that isn't going to be very moneysaving.
I wonder if I could get the library.
maybe after dinner out friday night I could detox for the weekend(mind you me without sugar not good). then perhaps weight watchers? for real getting up early eating breakfast and then eating every two hours - cos I get so hungry. cereal at break, Lunch is a problem. don't like carbs cos I get stuffed and tired. need some thing like meat(!) and vegetables. perhaps chicken and salad, or maybe tuna and salad.
and yes I am typing out loud.
please feel free to give opinions.
(and the running walking thing has been a disaster btw)

Buffy, have you tried eating cous cous?? I find it great for filling up on and it doesn't bloat me like bread, pasta does.
Make some granola or cereal bars to munch on throughout the day. You can do it im sureI'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change And breakaway. I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway ....

Tbh, DD,
I have been trying to figure out a way I could be at home more.
the way our wages work is, DH pays all the bills/mortgage etc and has the max in childcare vouchers taken off his wages.
I pay for my DMP (£300), all the food (£250), entertainment and kids bits (remaining childcare £300 a month) from my wages. So, in theory, would need to bring home at least £600-a month somehow if I didnt work-or worked part time. We wouldnt pay over £500 a month in childcare, could probably go down to one car...any suggestions??
What would I earn as a classroom assistant in a school?
