Where do I start. I had a temp job last year for a few months. It was not bad, but it was not brilliant either. It was great to be bringing in some money, but it meant a lot of childcare for the kids. As a family we managed things quite well in the end, but we were exhausted and there was little time for the extras in life.

I am back to looking for another job, but my heart is not in it. I know we need the money to move forward, we are pretty borderline at the moment. It would be nice to have some of the money worry to go away. I know I am also more organised overall when I am working. I just feel so blah when I look for work. I get a headache and just feel ill.

The work is just not exciting me and I am feeling stressed about how to fit it all in now that DD1 is a school with the school hours and holidays into play. I do some volunteer work that I do enjoy, but with work it is hard to continue and may not be possible depending on the work days.

I know in my heart that some kind of business would be preferable for us, but I am completely stumped for a good idea. The pressure is on to bring in the money and I just don't know what to do. Logic says go back to bookkeeping, but my heart just does not know.
