I have been looking for a part time job for a few weeks now. I have been to 5 interviews and although still waiting to hear on two of them, noen of them are really what I want and all of them are (what I consider compared to what I earned before), badly paid.
Anyway if I work 18-20 hours a week (my preferred hours) and DS goes to the more expensive but more convenient nursery, I will be bringing home around £50 a week.
If he goes to a slightly cheaper nursery, nearer £75.
It barely seems worth it but there is also the long term factor of decreasing childcare costs to consider and getting back into a career of some sort.
But - I'm thinking now perhaps I should find something to do to fit in around DS which would earn the equivalent - but what could I do?
Preferably something which exercises my brain. Ironing lady I am not.
