    Has anyone tried a work @ home program? (long)

    Hey all,

    I'm currently 18 weeks PG, and unemployed. I had to resign from my previous position due to the debilitating nausea i was suffering during the first trimester, and now I'm stuck on the exhaustion boat! Have spoken with doc, but he can't assist.
    I'm having a lot of difficulty trying to get back to work even for a temp position, because my patterns change every day. I'm weary of the fact i need to try and keep a stable routine to make sure bubs has a better routine when born, but working a 38 hours week, for me, atm seems unreasonable. The worst part of it is, it's the extra 10-15hrs of public transport that kills me!
    DF has had to defer from university and get a job, because he felt he needed to support our impending family, and i'm feeling rather guilty at him putting his ambition on hold, when i know for a fact that a lot of people won't return to uni. So i feel as though i'd really like to be making an effort to bring in some extra cash as well, so we don't just have mortgage, food, car and baby covered, so we can still have money to spend on time together.
    Money, and who has it, has never been an issue for us, centrelink are stuffing me around so badly, i haven't had anything in my own bank account since the beginning of august and DF and i had been living off one youth payment a fortnight, which has been a big struggle.
    It's just getting to the point where my search for suitable employment seems fruitless, and I've been considering a work @ home program. I know a lot of them appear to be scams so I've done a fair bit of research, and from what i can see, as long as i have the patience to put in the effort and apply myself (which i do), I'm not going to lose any money.
    I'm not interested in joining a company that makes you create your own business, but rather something like data entry for advertisements )or whatever is they make you do). I have fairly adept PC skills, so that won't be a problem, what i am worried about is that the payment is from several different companies and i'm just curios about what to do once taxtime comes around?!?!
    So my question was to ask if anyone has tried them, success / failure stories, recommendations, etc???

    Thanks, Ashlea
