After my flexible working request was declined (on pretty spurious grounds), I've just resigned from my job. I knew I would have to do this if they did not agree to my request, but it's still a bit scary.
And now it means that I'm out on my own, self-employed. I have some work at the moment but will have to build up more, do marketing, get clients. All a little scary, but exciting too. I feel ready to take on new professional challenges and this seems to be the best way to do it with a family (after several years of feeling well and truely 'mummy tracked').
Anyone else been in the same boat? Tell me it will all be fine!
