I'm Currently Feeling: | Do you work? Hi girlies,
Im just being nosey here and wondering who works? I have just finished University and am waiting to graduate next week (woohoo!) So at the minute Im very bored at home most of the time and spending far too much time on bnb!!
Just been doing lots of
(Been dying to use those for ages!)
It's got me thinking about what I would like to do if I ever have a LO, with regards to working. Think I will always need to work to keep my brain active, but possibley part-time. What do you think??
P.S I've noticed a distinct lack of  lately on the forum, so I thought I'd just send everybody some for goodluck    |

| I work, but am off today. If I have a LO we will consider how much I work, but I will definitley need to keep on working some amount to keep the pennies coming in  |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I work part time atm. Just temping before the big move up to Yorkshire. Although right now I am covering holiday for the lady who I job-share with, so am full time.
I wouldn't work if I didn't have to though, I can always find plenty to do to occupy myself. I'm also studying with the Open University. I'm in my final year now, although I might do a few more courses after I finish my degree!
Once we have a LO we'll assess if it's possible for me to stay home or if I'll have to work part time. I can't imagine working full time with a LO around though! |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I work but have my own office based at the end of my bosses garden. I am the only office worker for a building company so I can spend loads of time here!! If any of the builders see baby talk they run a mile!!
WHEN (not if!!) i have my little one I will carry on working as my boss is more than happy for me to work half the time from home and to brink the baby in the rest of the time.
Thats the plan anyway, will be interesting to look back on this when the time comes and see if I stick to it. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | At the moment i stay at home, and i can tell you its doing my nut in aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh, i love my boys so much, but i don't see anyone apart for them and OH.
Once i can drive am going back to work, i have got a week job just now but its only 3 hours a week, the money is good, i've also applyed for tesco's which is only up the road and i can bike it there, doing it at night, hoping i get it, i need adult covo.
Hoping to get into uni 2010, to do midwifery, have open university course in Oct n Nov, planning to do evening class next year, and work in a maternity unit next year also.
It will be hard, but when i was in glasgow and going to college i had to get up at 5.30 ever morning get me and boys fed and ready, out the door by 6.30 at my mums by 7.20 leave mums right away travel to college be back by 5.30 get home fed,bath, story, bed. Luckly i had a wed off and weekends to spend time with the boys.
Even if you do go back full-time it is doable, just juggling everything about and its alot easyer if you have a partner too.
I think i need to work to save myself from going mad, right now i have a ds1 screaming his head off, which is causing ds2 to scream also, just because i won't let him eat soil    |
