Hi girls, my boss spoke to me briefly about working from home. Has anyone else done this or are you going to?

I am in sales so i mainly just need the phone and the laptop. Not quite sure if it would work out or not but I am considering it as childcare will be soooooooooo much to have two children in full time nursery/child minders especially in the holidays.

Love to hear back from you.

I would definately consider it but maybe have them in part time nursery as 2 children screaming when you're in the middle of a phonecall wouldn't be good for business!

It depends if you are needed 9-5? I am flexible and work from home so could work 12-8 or something if you know what I mean? You cant work while kids screaming or vice versa! I like WAH though xx

It would be calling companies in office hours my oldest would be at school so i'd probaby work from 9-2.30 and when the baby got older have a child minder for a few hours and my mum help out.

If I went back to work full time it would cost be 600 quid per month to put the baby in the nursery as he would need to be there from 8.30 am until 5.pm plus i would have to pay someone to pick my daugher up from school and give her dinner before I got home from work.

Just a bit worried how it would work in the holidays as it currently cost me 30 per day when my daughter is on half term/summer holidays. so it would be double with two, dunno i'll have to really look into it and weigh up the pros and cons of going back to work even if it is working from home.

I really need to work but its mad how much childcare cost!

Is anyone else going to work from home? x

I work from home anyway and I don't foresee any issues with it. My DH gets home at 2.30 which is roughly when I go on the phones so all will be good for me. I think it is a bonus working from home as you can work and spend time with LO

I have thought about working from home but no idea how to get into it?

I think its a great idea and most people would be overjoyed if their bosses asked them if they would like to.
You'll be in your own enviroment working under your own terms.
And lets face it, no one is better at mulitasking than a mum!
Id say give it a go and see how it works out.

I havnt got the option but i think i would do it if given a choice, could you not try it for a trial period and see if it works out for you and if not go back to work?
