Working from home

Hiya,
I'm a stay at home mum to a 10mth old girl. I recently decided to stay at home and not return to work bascially because by the time I had paid childcare I barely broke even!! Anyone else in this position?

I have started working as an Usborne organiser to bring in some extra money and fortunately it's going really well!! If anyone is interested in this they have a half price offer on for July, so need to be quick. I'm actually really enjoying the gorgeous books and taking them to places where I can take my lo! Such as toddler groups. I'm also enjoying the extra money (not making me rich yet, but it all helps!!)

Anyone else work from home? How are you finding it?

    Usborne Children's books, they're gorgeous!

    They are really popular, you've probably seen them, the farmyard tales books, that's not my puppy etc.

    You can buy them in shops, but they also have organiser who work from home, selling through parties, toddler groups, running book fairs etc. I guess it's a great way for them to get their books out there and great for people like me who need to earn extra cash!!

    email if you would like more info.
    Also usborne have a website, https://www.usbornebooksathome.co.uk

    just a side issue, not a good idea to post your email address on here (apart from it not being allowed in the rules)

    you are also not allowed to post your own website although the usbourne website is ok

    you can post in the referrals section asking people to join and ask them to private message you for more info

    you need to state how much you stand to earn from the referral etc

    no problem , you can edit you threads if you look (there is an edit button on posts you made) and remove anything that should not be there

    the email thing is to stop harrasment etc

    the web site thing is to stop abuse (not saying you did it on purpose !! :) ) and the site is meant to be Advert free
