    Sounds ideal and every little helps. More than anything I love my job for the banter I have with colleagues, I find it lifts my mood having a laugh and I work in a super serious, some would say depressing, field. Hopefully it will help with your MH as well. Fingers crossed for you xx

    All is well on Job front, they understand O still has appointments etc but no where near as many unplanned long hospital stays as when I was there before.

    There's 2 places coming up one starting for the last week of this term - ongoing from September, 24 hour contract, 24 hours work term time.

    One available October - ongoing 16 hour contract - working 24 hours term time.

    There's also just the casual contract of 10 hours, working the 24 hours term time option.

    It's basically going back to the school I was at before I had youngest and her health issues, I left because I felt I couldn't but 100% in with what was going on at home, along with the time off and feeling like I was letting the team down etc.
  • Brilliant Hidden! Which contract would you prefer to do?

    Sounds an ideal job opportunity. Will the job involve any writing of learning journeys in your own time or would that be factored into the contracted hours? Could all be online based of course!
    Term time work is great for fitting in with your own children.

    I'm not 100% sure what to do.

    OH doesn't want me to take any :o so I'm going to discuss it with my mum when I see her Sunday.

    Of course he doesn't. A job of your own means independence and more control over your life and needing him less.

    Exactly, what I were thinking...

    Please, take the job and at the contracted hours that suits you and the wee ones and the hell with him...
    Your doing it for you and your kids. Your future and theirs...

    It is important that we know where we come from, because if you do not know where you come from, then you do not know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you are going. If you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong.

    I guess there is a lot to think about though, some of his points I guess are right but some are selfish!
