Anyone recently gone back to work or due to go back soon?

I shortened my MAT leave to 26 weeks but extended it due to moving so I go back on the 1st July which is a little over 30 weeks MAT leave! I'm dreading it!

I work from home & people think that would be great but you see I work for an employer, I have a salary and office hours are 9-5 so like everyone else I have to work within those hours (only one who works from home in the company) it is a bit handy to work from home but I know concentration will/could lack because babies aren't exactly quiet are they and still demand attention!

Hows everyone feeling about either returning or getting ready to return to work? Any work at home Mummies that have to work office hours like me?

Im not due back till october..But im going to go back mid-august, to start geting some overtime in for christmas. Luckily though, my uncles a childminder, and as we dont have the same surnames he's able to take Kyle on as one of his kids. I will only pay 30% of childcare costs im sure..cause I only work 16 hours and doing home studying. Im looking foward to it! Miss my work buddies only see them now and then xx
