Yeah tbh I wasn't too bothered- if they had managed to give me a few evenings a week, great! But if not, we will be ok, I made sure I had enough savings prior to getting pregnant and Dp has two jobs at the moment. Don't get me wrong, it'll be tight some months, but I'm actually a bit happy at the thought of getting a bit more time at home with my ds.
Still looking for something part time
In the meantime.

Oh sorry, basically on the grounds that I can no longer do weekends cus Dp works every weekend, that was pretty much a deal breaker for them. I'm on a zero hour contract and have basically no rights, so it was totally expected. I have been there full time for years though, it's done me well!
