    Another owner of a once cream carpet saying hi!

    I know what you mean re the childcare/working. Unless on a very very good hourly rate its just not usually worth it (I found). I thought I'd found my dream job - what I wanted to do, only part time - fantastic. Until I worked out that after the childcare (both mine get funded sessions!), the travel.lunches, the reduction in childcare etc I'd be working 3 full days for £25 a week. And thats on £10 an hour wage. Not worth the hassle.

    OMG how gorgeous are your girls and how cute do they look - make sure you take a picture of them dressed like that in front of the Christmas tree (what cute christmas cards would that make). I have done one each year of my children in front of the tree and its amazing to see how they change each year lovely momento too! K has grown so much.

    How about working nights? That's the only way we can both work. He works social hours and I work unsocial hours. We both work full time and get very little time together. We've been doing this for 3 years now and it's no fun but sometimes needs must.
    Or could you start up your own buisness? Or do virgin vie or something?
