First Post on this board :)

Hi, as the title says this is my first post on this board. I've been reading for a while tho. Here is my situation. I've recently become a stay at home mum and I am absolutely loving it. If I go back to work I can only go back two days as my daughter will get 15 hours free childcare from April. I also have a son who I would need to pay childcare for and my wage would barely cover childcare for both. So anyway here's my question. I really don't want to go back to work. It's not that I'm lazy, I've always worked, I just love being with my children so much. Also I don't rely on benefits my husband works. The thing is I can't justify staying off when we would be £250 a month better off. I'm wondering though if there is some way (or lots of little ways) I could make £250 a month without going back to work? Any suggestions? Is this a realistic amount to make? Would it be more time consuming than 2 days work?

Thanks x

    I have managed to stay at home with the kids for the past 4 years doing online jobs earning between 200 and 700 a month but it usually requires a few hours each day . there are plenty of companies listed on this board that you can work from home with :)
