SAHM Filling my day?

Patchwork_Quilt

Volunteer at school and you might end up with a job! Seriously, though, there are always children who need help and not enough staff to go around. It would give your week structure and if you stay over break you get coffee and conversation thrown in. I volunteered every time we moved and it was a good way of getting to know who my children were friends with and what the school was like. I did get offered a job - or rather, it was suggested that I apply - but sadly, we were off again so I never took it up.

Good luck.

See if there are any free courses around there is a computer course inour town which is free but you have to pay for the exam at the end - it is fun I have done it and have a C&G level 2 in Word, Excel And Access I am now going on to Desk Top Publishing and Web design.
It gives you a skill that will help when you find a job

I go to a local craft group, quite a few who come don't make anything and just enjoy the company and a natter so don't rule those types of groups out as they are a good way of meeting people who are in the same position. I also went back to college, with the course and homework you are filling a day.

Good luck with your job hunting x

Thanks for all that, myboys are at primary school so i am free 9.30am til 3pm!

Going to look at colleage but thats not until Sept and going to see about a course next week.

the walking looks good and there is a local charity shop which is asking for people, but would have to see if they would take me term time.

No family near and most friends work atleast part time.

Will have a look at ebay, boys bedrooms are full of junk, sure they would not miss!

thanks again.

Know i am`lucky` that we can afford for me to be a SAHM, we are old style and do not ask for much and do do have unless we can afford it!

I just had to ask, are we related? :rotfl::A And do you have an unhealthy ZIppy obsession as well?

To Crockpot, if the boys room are overloaded with toys, that is a perfect opportunity to keep you busy! If there are some things you don't feel you could sell, put them up on freecycle - you would be surprised how many people would appreciate what your boys have grown out of.

I am not a SAHM

But what about these for ideas

1. Take the kids places and invest in them - shared experiences are like gold - dont waste them

2. Keep a clean house, a freezer stocked with HM food and a tidy garden

3. Grow stuff - you can plant veges in a bucket filled with compost if needs be

4. Who needs your help? - get out there and volunteer yourself - people will be glad of your help

5. Make a list of all the things you have been putting off doing - and get them done!

6. Get a job - part time with hours to suit your family

make the most of life - or it will pass you by

Why dont you take up a hobby?

I got myself a sewing machine and I've started sewing cushion covers and draight excluders ready to sell when winter arrives.. did loads last year and made a fair bit of money.
