This is my life now
This is what I struggle with the most, it isn't the working, it isn't not being at home with the children, it is the "This is my life now", no more children for us so the years ahead seem somewhat 'unmarked' - just stretching out ahead of me (we have now lived in this flat longer than anywhere else in our lives, maybe I have a bit of wanderlust still). Doing something different to what I do now isn't a possibility till 2017 when DS is in school - but I don't even know what I would want to do (just don't want to float from contract to contract).

OP - glad the conference was good - I have heard alot of good things about it.

MN - sorry you didn't get the job - something good will come up I am sure.

I am frustrated with work, my contract is up at the end of August, not entirely sure what I want to do - the next two weeks they really should have me working full-time due to stuff going on and I am prepared to do that but I just can't get an answer out of them - DH needs to confirm holiday for the 4 days he will need to cover - but I have asked in person weeks ago, and also on Monday and also emailed but still no answer. I need more 'get up and go' from them, the pace is frustrating me (seems I get 3 months in with everyone and something annoys me :-)) - I want to drive things forward but I am not really in that position and I haven't got the impression they want me to.
