Changing work patterns
The way people work today changes more and more. The 9-5 Monday to Friday are no longer the usual especially for new parents. Some give up work all together because the childcare is just way too expensive to afford working, some look for options to work from home , other cut their hours and work part-time. As you know I kind of work from home at the moment although I am on the lookout for a more stable work opportunity. My husband is working away and has a lot to lose when it comes to family life. But it’s what we have to do at the moment. I would’ve love…

I’m a workaholic
As you know last week I had been signed off work by my doctor. The abdominal pains that I had were stopping me from not only enjoying the pregnancy but from going to work and doing any effort what so ever. So..last week I stayed 4 days at home in bed. The only time I went out was to take my daughter to nursery in the morning. I wished I could’ve kept her at home with me but as we are paying for it full time and as I couldn’t really entertain her or be there for her taking her to nursery was the best thing. She wanted to go…

Long gone are the days when I used to just sit there and enjoy morning TV and “Daybreak”. While we are just lounging in bed still my husband is running around to prepare for work. He needs to be…

I want to make a change and spend more time with my daughter but then…we will not earn enough to survive and give her everything she needs. I mean you know we want to move to Romania but then that will not happen in the very near future.., What can I do In the meantime? Sometimes it happens not to see her when I get home in the evenings…and then when I drop her off in the mornings she cries and doesn’t want to go to nursery… There are times when I run out of the nursery as otherwise I…

Why? Oh why?!?
Those of you that have toddlers already know how is like to be asked “Why” all the time. However, today Is the first time I experienced it! My daughter is 3 years old but until now she never really ask WHY so many times. This morning as we were preparing to leave for nursery we had this conversation(in English because even though my 1st language is Romanian my daughters is English and whatever I will do she will still answer in English): Mummy – come on sweetheart its time to go to nursery Boogie – go to nursery? Why? M – Because you like it there and because mummy and…

Life in London by FrenchYummyMummy
This week saturday guest post came my way from the lovely Muriel that blogs over at www.FrenchYummyMummy.com. Muriel is a lovely and bubbly lady. Go over and visit her blog too and i will bet her quirky way will put a smile on your face. She can be found on twitter to as @frenchyummymummy. Here is her take on Life in London: I moved to London 8 years ago. Basically, this means that I am not French any longer, because whenever I go back I don’t fit in. For starters, everybody is sulking there. Not nice. But I am not British yet. I might get a British passport eventually, but,…
