Family Day Care have a HUGE wait list here and getting both kids in together is next to impossible. I do have a couple of people who will look after the kids as back-up if they are sick and I need to work.

Haven't called centrelink, but we aren't entitled to any more than we receive now because DP earns 55K a year. Although this year will be less as it's already a bad year (no rain = no seeding and no seeding will = no harvesting... for rain!)

Not looking at full-time, but something consistent like 15-20 hours or so (preferably over 2 days). He doesn't really want me to go back to work at all... but there isn't much else we can do.

There isn't really anything I can do from home... I have even tried party-plan things but I guess I lack motivation when I'm home lol
