Hello Batters, hope this hijack of the Brighton thread means that one day we might get you London lunch bunch out of the smoke one day and come and get some sea air?!
Anyway yes started WOTH (as y'all call it) last October when dd went up to Prep with finishing time of 5.20 pm (!) I applied for a temporary local govt post and unfortunately managed to blag my way into it, despite having not WOTH'd for the previous 10 years.
I wanted to do p/t but somehow got persuaded into f/t, hence haven't been to a Brighton or any other meetup since, haven't done any housework, have hardly been to the gym, can't see my SAHM friends for lunch anymore, etc.
Luckily have recently been offered a permanent position so I immediately requested to go p/t so will do at end of March. However, dh's company has offered me p/t post as well so will be almost back up to f/t, but can do dh's post from home and can do hours I like.
Mabs, sorry for hijack. Will email you.
