When I was on maternity leave with my first you had three months paid leave then no pay , so I had to return to work F/T when he was six weeks old (as he was two weeks late). It is hard but then I got used to it, did feel guilty at times but also realised that because I worked we could have things we couldn't have if I hadn't returned to work . My friend took a career break and had five years off with her children, but then struggled when she returned to work and after six months packed it in as she couldn't handle work and home together.
I have to set myself targets otherwise I demotivated and overwhelmed at times. Nothing better than ticking off a list.xx:j Debtfree and and staying that way.:j3-6 month emergency fund, No.61 £140.000 -
