So many things to update about.

First things - Adam hasn't been working much at all. Work has really dried up around here, and we have lots of savings but I hate eating into it.

I might have to look at going back to work, which is sending me into all sorts of depression.

Liam's breastfed and I definitely don't want him on formula so I don't want to work more than 5 hours a day. All the 5 hours a day jobs I can find are 5 days a week and Adam is all 'no, you can't work all week', and really, what's the point of being a stay at home mum if I hardly see Liam all week?

And even if I do find this magical job that is only a couple of hours a week, it might not be worth it as it will affect my goverment payments!

I don't know if those mystical 'work from home' type jobs I can do in the middle of the night actually exist. (Well, I know they do if you're a freelance writer or something, but that's not me).

I wish I was good at something - like, I wish I had kept up with my webdesign hobby or something. My SIL will start up her cake decorating business that she can do from home and my other SIL has a successful business making modern cloth nappies. I thought about taking up tutoring again, but when I did with Liam around it was too hard :(

Time to think!

sorry about the work issues, sweets. don't you have the freezable breast milk bags where you are? all of my friends used them when they went back to work and were still breast feeding.

As in expressed breastmilk? I can't really express much milk :( It takes me a whole day of pumping to pump enough for a third of a feed for Liam :(

Also - I really don't want to go back to work hahahaha :D

I don't feel like talking to P101 right now, but I write and edit from home. You said that's not you. Do you write at all because if you have any clips at all, I have a link for you.

I looked at the website where you get your work (and do amazingly well) but they look like they need more experience than I have :(

I'm quite capable of writing well and I'm still at uni writing essay after essay but nothing published, DYKWIM?

Of the people I've given the link to, they've had a 50-50 success rate of getting in. I don't think any of them had published much of anything. It's boring work, though. How-tos on car stuff and science experiments, etc.

Also, it seems that I cannot apply because I'm Australian :( Boo.
