    I know I'm coming back after 6 months for 2-3 days a week. They have to approve this though.

    A plus for them is that I would be gone for the quiet period and back as it ramped up again.

    I don't know it sucks. I feel so deceitful

    What if you didn't know you were pregnant, then you could only tell them when you knew which could be after already had job talks. Ok you do know, but not everyone would - so really just because you do happen to know you shouldn't feel deceitful. It is fairly standard not to tell anyone till 12 weeks, so I don't see why employers should be different (some I know are because of health and safety implications they need to know as soon as you know - exposure to certain chemicals for example).

    I only have one day of work this week and seems like I might not get the full three days for a couple of months so have bitten the bullet and enrolled in an online course - is just a Cert IV in Training and Assessment, will be a benefit to my CV and seems meant to be as getting some down time. Continuing to look round for something else, but not hopeful for part-time, boss last week seems pretty confident that they will have plenty of work for me come October - so fingers crossed. Getting a full day pay tomorrow for only half day as all going out for lunch with some big boss man, I offered to just work a different day so could do a full day instead (working tomorrow doesn't suit me the most as have a do with DH in the evening so would have rather not worked) but they were insistent that I am part of the team so must go to lunch - so I suppose that is a good sign.
