Working
Am now a fully-fledged freelance consultant (hence blog-silence for the past month). Working on a PR project and now an internal comms placement until May. Finally all my networking paid off, I held my nerve and now work 2 days a week but in my own time. Thankfully my current client is very kind and understanding about the boys, happy for me to rush off for pre-school pick-ups when I need to. My faith in modern working has been restored! Life is now a precarious balance between working, cooking, housework and 2 boisterous boys. I have never been busier but am thrilled to be using my brain again - and earning money. I have found it very hard not to earn, and now I'm contributing financially again the world feels very different. For starters I can actually buy things without having to feel that I need to justify why each time (as a result I'm now the proud owner of a new Nespresso). I love being a mother but it's important to me that I have an identity in my own right...
