After a year, I am going to try and find a part-time teaching job. I have moved away from Aberdeen, so will have to give up my present teaching job - I am hoping it is easy to get a job down in Fife. I am hoping for a 2 day to 2 1/2 day week.

Im going back as i will only have 9ish months left after mat leave and i wont be signing on (in the RAF) but i do still want to work when i leave so ill be looking for something with a lot less hours and travelling!!!!!

finished work not long after i found out, i was so ill and my OH was so worried about me i handed in my notice. i have no plans to go back to work. looking after maddi, james and our wonderful home is the best job i've ever had

(this is a huge change coming from a career minded sociologist that never believed in marriage!

I have actually just requested to extend my 9 months mat leave to the full year at my work. I was due back in the new year but dont feel ready to leave Hannah yet. Am just waiting to hear back from my employer but I'm hoping it wont be a problem as I gave over 2 months notice.

All going well I'll be due back at the end of March 2009 now

OH wants me to leave too but our finances would be in total disaster.

Yeah, the last 3 months will be unpaid but we've looked at our finances and should be ok. I wish I didnt have to go back at all but we couldnt afford to drop down to one salary permanently.

I just know its going to be really hard when the time to go back does come round
