to think there must be ^something^ I can do from home?

Work-wise I mean.
DD is coming up to 2 now and I would dearly like to keep being a sahm, but we're struggling on DH's wage alone.

I don't have a career as such to go back to, so going back to work would probably involve call centre work/ retail/ something equally soul sapping for minimum wage. Which of course would also need to cover childcare.

So what I would really like to do is work from home - is it naive of me to think there is something I could do? I'm not creative, so setting up a cottage industry making things isn't going to happen. I like to think I'm reasonably intelligent and articulate - I did sign up to one of the article writing websites, but the work there was very thin on the ground and it soon became apparent that you'd struggle to make a living from it.

I only need to make a few hundred a month, a little part-time wage, not looking to become a millionaire...

Do any of you work from home and if so, can I ask what you do?

Hi Ragwort - not sure what happened to Vie, just heard they'd shut down. It happens sometimes - a number of the top people in Phoenix joined when Dorling Kindersley shut down their direct selling operation.
