I got more than I was hoping for. I wanted to go part time (4days) and asked if I could perhaps work from home a few hours. My boss suggested I work a full day from home, which was awesome. He didn't mind if I didn't do the work on that actual day, just as long as over the course of each week I got it done. This was great as DS was only 15m so mostly I just caught up when he was sleeping or at night. Gave me a whole extra day with him.

I'm returning to work again in 10 days under the same conditions as I got last time which is fantastic. One less day of childcare to pay for too

It was all on the condition that my performance remained at the same high standard as before. However I was highly motivated to keep the working arrangements that suited me so I actually went up a performance rating as I was so keen for all to work out and repay my bosses faith in me
