Some call centres have overnight staff. Is there any reason you cannot work the whole night, such as 10pm - 6am?

Hi DMG - I could do it, but the whole point of me doing evenings/nights is because I dont have anyone to care for the children. Not sure I could cope going through the whole night not sleeping but I can (and have!!!) coped on 4/5 hours sleep.

What hours does your husband work?

He works from 6am-6pm 6 days a week. He leaves at 5.15am and gets in at 6.45pm.

What about night shift in retail,

I've been trying to think about which shops would offer night shifts. I worked in retail many years ago doing the night shift at Superdrug and loved it! But they dont do it anymore apparently - I called them on Friday.

Wow, I tried to recruit a position like this, to work from home, 8pm - 2:30am and was told by the JC that no-one would want it.

I sub-contracted it out in the end to a web company (it was only answering the phone and emailing the details to the office).

Noooooooo! :rotfl:

I would love to do this - I am currently an HR Manager, but before Nov 2009 I worked in Marketing and Events for 10 years. Thats where my loyalties lie I must admit - but there is NOTHING doing that kind of work for those hours.

My Mrs has been doing it for years, and it works really well for us.

Theres a lot of information out there on it. My first instincts are telling me this could be a very good idea for our family.

I LOVE children, I love messy play, I love baking, I love going to the park. I look after my nieces and nephews all the time and know I can handle a few children at a time.

Everythings suddenly looking quite bright.
