Eeeeek! I just got a full time job... it works in so perfectly with Hannah starting at her new creche full time and me actually being able to pay for it now! Weeeee!
But full time...  I'll barely even see the little monkey. I suppose that's how it's just gonna have to be from now on! Atleast I can be 'good time Mum' over the weekend and we can do fun stuff

It's international development... they are the crew that wears sandals and socks and lots of corduroy. Actually... maybe I'd rather they wore suits?! Bombshell - Developing countries.

congrats nikki, I worked fulltime for 2 years only dropped down to 30 hrs ( which is what i do now) when I got a new job, but its fine, you make up for it in the weekend.
If your'e on the dpb, you'll most likely go off that and on to the working for families plan, so ask your case manager about it . congrats again |
