    Hi Marshallka

    What sort of job you looking for?
    The ultimate keep me at home type job. I want it to fit around my family really. I have applied for a couple but not heard anything. I need to earn some money and also be here as well as we have no outside help at all. Its all so scary when you have been at home and away from the big wide world for sooo long.

    I don't want any type of career type job really as I get too involved and can't do both.

    We really need some extra money... I need to get out more too. I rarely leave the house as you can see. I never get bored here though. I try to keep busy and can make being at home a full time job but I feel so guilty not working.

    If i could find something at home that would suit me fine.
    Vicious circle really.

    Its difficult isn't it trying to do both roles. Suppose the best type of work is if you go in do job and leave at end of day without getting involved. Have stuffed envelopes before it is so boring but at least I was able to be around for kids etc.

    Good luck anyway:T

    Been there as well. Done them all. I don't want to work really but we need the money... I feel so guilty.

    I felt guilty going out full time with a child and then went part time and still felt guilty and then packed in (got ill) and now my youngest has gone to high school I feel guilty again as I am still here:eek: .At 12 she is still too young to be left in my eyes. I have no-one to help and never have had (my hubby needs to be out at 7.45 and does not get in until 6.00 ish). I don't drive so its buses everywhere and if anything was ever up with her what then. I need a job at home.

    When we had the boiler fitted last week they have disconnected our gas fire. Its unsafe they say as there is smoke coming back in the room. Its got to be sorted but more money:eek: . We had a bird come down the chimney before we got the net on the top and had to dismantle the fire to get it out (and the whole fire surround etc). I think something happened then - don't know whats up but its going to cost money. It will have to wait.
