Question for SAHM’s

Shares? Hmmmmm, I don't know. Around about what time of year was that? I vaguely remember being sent something about some additional shares, but remember thinking there was no point in taking up the offer as I probably wouldn't go back, and they would just take them off me again.

Did you still have some shares when you resigned? Did they get paid out to you? I think I have some available, but most I have to wait till the end of this and next year to get.

So how have you been anyway? Sam is a real cutey!

I think it was about July/August when the offer came out for shares. You had to pay the $1 for them but the book said that if you bought them and then left the company before the 3 years was up they would be sold and paid to you. I did take up the offer since I figured I was going back but haven't heard anything about them being sold. My resignation only took effect from the 14th of this month so probably still in the process. They are still showing as curent on the portfolio too. I do have other older shares but haven't sold them as don't want to pay the fees They are not worth much though so not too worried.

We are good   Very happy with our wee girl, but amazed at how much hard work she is (In a good way of course).
How about you ? - Oliver is a little heartbreaker

Weird that so many people had babies last year that I know!!! Jane had Alexandria and Becs has a little girl - Kayley. We must have all been extra dedicated

I DID IT! I RESIGNED TODAY! I'm officially unemployed - well, kinda - I now have the smallest boss in the world and the lowest pay! lol.

But I'm happy. My boss even said I just needed to give him a call if I want some part-time work at any time.

So, what do you SAHM's do with your days? I need to find some fun things to start doing with DS during the day or I might go insane!

Congratulations   Now the fun really begins

We do a few things during the week to stay sane. We go to Jumping Beans (which I would really recommend), swimming lessons, and also try and get together with other mums with similar age babies for walks, play dates. We are also currently looking at playcentre, but don't want to overload her. Oh and also, don't know what your local libraries are like but ours has rhyme time on a Thursday morning. Haven't been yet, but have it on good authority that it is loads of free fun

Oh and we swim one day a week but don't do organised lessons coz the last time we tried that the gremlins missed half the term coz they got ear infections and I don't want to fork out the $$$ in case it happens again.

We have started going to Rhymetime at our libary and we LOVE it. Ella has a ball dancing away to the songs, playing with the toys and 'talking' to the other babies. If your local library does it I totally recommend it.

Yeah, I have a coffee group - well if you can call 3 girls and their babes a group! lol

But I'm really commitment adverse. I hate being tied to doing something at a certain time every week, etc, but I guess I'll have to get over that when DS wants to play sports, etc. But for now, I'm the boss (kind of)!

I like the idea of knowing when something is on and deciding on the day if I feel like going, or not if I don't.

Which is probably why our "coffee group" only meets every few weeks!

i was looking for work and finding it hard finding one that would allow me to have weekends off and finish earlish because DF worked most weekends.
then i got pregs with number 2 lol

boo is in daycare now 2 days a week, and i take james to playgroup when i can get there esp now that he's active he needs to get out.
most things here cost a fortune to do so its hard to get him into much along with cost of travelling to them.

plus i deliver junk mail & local papers 4 / 5 days a week
