Sorry, I meant to say before and didn't - but if you really feel like you don't want to work at the moment then dont! You obviously love being at home with the kids (correct me if I am wrong) and i think you could probably earn just as much at home doing things like daily clicks and matched betting etc....

When you work you cut corners on everything, food etc...and you really do seem to be managing at the minute.

I am different, staying at home drives me absolutely bonkers, but I admire anyone who can do what you are doing and be so upbeat about it all the time....

Be kind to yourself!

Part of me loves staying at home.. but part of me craves adult contact.. I kind of feel like I'm in a time warp of nappies, feeding, crying,in the night garden and Dora the bleeding explorer!!! lol!

Not sure if I'm cut out for staying at home all the time but then again the grass is always greener isn't it!!!

:rotfl: :rotfl: certainly does!:rotfl: I spend most of my days wanting to be at home with the kids, watching dora the explorer and making fairy cakes.

When I am at home, I watch Jeremy Kyle and surf the 'net:rotfl:

BTW I wasn't suggesting you went back to work, was just wondering whether the childminder thing was actually a long term after your kids have gone to school plan; it's probably still a goer if you want it to be you just don't seem that keen, although I can see the initial hiccups could be offputting.

I can totally relate to this, which is why I started studying with the OU. It is the only thing I do that is all about me. I have an identity as a student, I get a sense of achievement and I get adult contact. Best of all it allows me to stay at home bringing up my kids, because I don't think I want to go back to work until they are all at school. I have been a mum now for over 7 years and I have days where I feel like I'm going to crack up. It is hard work. I do think it is important to have something just about you, but that doesn;t necessarily mean going out to work.

Did you pay an admin fee? Just been to check and the £9 Scarlett money is showing as received but a £5 admin fee deducted ~ do you know if this is annual?

PS ~ we wanna see the doors when they are done
