I'm off to work in a while to try and sort out going back from my maternity leave. We've worked out I'll be able to go back on part time hours (12-5) each day instead of my full time hours. It worked out we'd actually be worse off if I was back full time as Dexter would have to go to a nursery for the mornings and paying for that would be more than I'd be earning!! Also Gaz and I had decided before we have Dexter we didn't want someone else bringing him up. At least this way I can look after Dex in the morning and then once Gaz is back and has had a sleep (he goes out to work at about half one in the morning) I can go back to work and he can look after Dex.
Things seem positive from when I've spoken to my supervisor, just need to have a meeting with her now and my manager and I've got my paperwork all sorted out for my application of flexible working for parents. I'm starting to get nervous about it because I'm not quite sure what we'll do if they say I can't do it.
Wish me luck! I'll be back later to let you all know what happens.
