/agree with Kass
I often have trouble talking about anything else when i chat to friends or family members because they are practically all that goes on for us on a day to day basis. Don't really go to the movies so cant talk about that, dont go out clubbing nothing to talk about there... and because we all have kids we have an interest in the subject and love hearing about other mum's kids too

We have a very hard decision to make. DH has been offered a full time position at work. We'd be about $330 better off a fortnight and he'd be working quite a bit more hours. BUT when the available full time positions are filled they're gonna drop the casual employees hours to about 20 hours a fortnight. I liked having him around more often working casual because i tend to go nuts after only a week of him doing full time hours and we're about to have another baby.. Dylan will be starting kindy soon though and that will be a huge help to me. And he'll get holiday pay on full time.
It goes like this:
20 hours a fortnight with approx $1500 (with new amount of FTB from new baby)
or
76 hours a fortnight with approx $1850 (after Tax and with new baby)

After expenses thats a difference between $300 into our savings and $600 into our savings (of which we have many plans for)
So financially its prolly better for him to take it but thats so many hours on my own with all these kids...
Dunno what to do

on the other hand if he's still casual he'll likely be working on sundays which is double pay so we should get more for that... gah... just dunno what to do...
