Hmm...do I put myself through it again?

I would weigh up child care costs - if they will outweigh what you will earn then I'd be hesitant to go back to work.

In saying that if you really have the urge to get back 'amongst it' in paid employment then I'd go for it hun.

Hi SS
What did you end up doing. IMO apply and see where it goes - at the least it is good exp to put yourself back out there. 4 hrs 3 times a week is pretty doable and you may enjoy being back...
FDC could be a good care option so you dont have to pay for full days if you arent using them.

I reckon apply. You were looking at the classifieds for a reason, you've got an education, and you're smart! Use your skills, and if it gets you and DF ahead a bit, give you all a bit of breathing space financially, then what's to lose?
