First day of new job today: one client told me he loved me and asked me to go to bed with him, another kissed me with open mouth

[fisil]

add to that the crap pay and twelve hour shift ...

but I really fancy the boss!

are you an accountant?

A CM ??

I know I know !!!! Cos I remember your thread last week

Childminder I'd say.

Although that would mean you fancy yourself innit?!

If not that then a SAHM???

yes - SAHM. God I love it! (well so far ...)

Con artist?

Only a 12-hour shift, fisil? How'd you manage that?

whisky in their night-time milk bottle.

Very wise fisil, very wise.

I found the first week a nightmare fisil then it got lots and lots better (or, I did).
Lovely thread title!

pmsl

make friends with other sahms / sahds .. makes life much more fun

I had your job for the past 5 years and it is with huuuge regret (but sometimes a little relief) that I have found alternative employment with more pay. Wishing you lots of sunny, feel-good days, lots of luck and many new friendships.

I have the same new job as fisil
My 'boss' just told me I was the best 'in the whole history'

well done Whizz - you get a bonus at the end of the week (introduce your boss to the joys of a trip to the coffee shop for cake )

How did you knw thats what I was planning

fullmoonfiend - when you mentioned "bonus" I thought "ah - I'll be too knackered for that." However, a trip to the cake shop sounds fab.

Pruni & twiglett - I did actually enjoy today! But several people have said to see friends and that during the first week (up to two months) I'll think "what have I done?"

Seriously, my best advice is to have something planned (however mundane)for every day. Otherwise the thought of all those weeks, days, minutes and seconds to fill can seem very daunting. A little structure to the week can help enormously IME.

I am the queen of planning - in fact I think I might have even gone too far. I've made a planning sheet for each week. This morning ds1 and I did our list for the day and planned our menu for the week.

I'll see if I can get my plan onto a weblink so that you can laugh at how much I am running this whole SAHM thing like a business!

Only way to cope with it is to meet up with other people with kids, as often as you can - that way the kids distract each other a bit and are less in your face. And the summer (what summer?) is the best time to start as on the occasional days when it's not raining you can have a picnic and a perfect excuse not to cook. Having said that I copped out recently and started working p/t again

ohhh fisil - total respect to you. Can you give me some tips I am going back to being a SAHM from friday and last time I was so disorganised I was better off at work!!
