…has really made me realise that my life would be a hundred times better if I worked part time.

I'm loving today, getting some life stuff done, but I've been pt in the past and the price was too high - I've done 3 and 4 day weeks but still had to plan and mark for days off, write all the reports, attend all staff mtgs etc.
I might create the equivalent of a 4 day week with 4 years ft the. 1 year off!

Yes I did p/t when my children were really little but it didn’t work for those very reasons. My afternoons were all about trying to get the babies to nap while I got planning done.

I went to a local rally then batch cooked for a busy week next week. Was lovely to be home and not have the commute.
