Oh, what to do? What to do? I had my appraisal today and I asked Tom whether I can go part time at work. I have to decided whether I want to work three or four days a week, and then submit an official request. We have just been working some stuff out, and we’d be ok financially with four days, three days it’s looking pretty dodgy. Which is more important? I don’t know! To have more time with Elsie and to bake bread, and scrimp and save, or have more money so we can have nice weekends away, buy nice food etc, but still have a work/life balance which favours work???

Oh, I don’t know. I just know that it’s getting on for a year since I returned after maternity leave, and I don’t know where the time has gone, I really don’t. And I will not live my life like this. I want to suck the marrow, smell the roses, and enjoy my beautiful, wonderful little girl.

Hmmmm…. More piccies of our lovely Saturday in the garden a couple of weeks ago.
