..and am poo-ing it! i lost my job last May - all a bit complicated, ending in them having to pay me a fair whack for being completely out of order, anyway, I have been hunting ever since and have finally been offered one which is kind of outside my remit, although related, very very good money and extremely challenging. We have two dc and i have managed to sort out the childcare as best i can but I am still stressing about it. I've got into a routine of having the house pretty clean and tidy and just know that I'll have to leave it in a bit of a mess in the mornings - dh starts at 7 and i will be starting at 8. He will get home before me and i can see myself gettin really wound if things aren't as they were. I am absolutley terrified that everything will fall apart! HELP!

Congratulations!

No advice I'm afraid but hope you enjoy your new job.

Employ a cleaner - think of it as supporting the local economy

If the money is good enough I would second that. Get a cleaner in. Oh how blissful that would be for me.

congratulations!!

dont let the thought of a bit of mess bother you! how old are your DC's? maybe they could lend a hand in the tidying the house stakes i second the hiring a cleaner if you want to or maybe do a cleaning rota so the work is spread otu evenly and you dont have to worry about it all
have a great time on your first day at your new job

ooh, what a lovely idea...now to work on dh about that one..The children are 9 and 3 and they do sort of 'help' but that's not always the best plan iykwim .

Still dreading it though!!
