I shouldve known better really shouldnt I? I never thought my car would use that much petrol going there and back all week.... wanna know how much I had to myself after working 4 half days and a whole day a week??? Just over 100 bucks!!

If Im honest I will have to say that another main reason I left is that some people there kept talking to me like I was a piece of s**t... it happened again and again in the 3 weeks I was there and youd have to pay me a lot more than that to make me put up with that kind of cr@p. I was never going to fit in... they werent friendly at all... they knew nothing about me or ever asked if it was all going OK... Its put me off working in Kiwi land for a while I can tell you.

Sorry it didn't work out Sarah, I can relate to everything you just said though. The exact same thing happened to me in two jobs and I was working for nothing too by the time I'd paid for petrol, childcare, parking etc.
I was inspired when I read you'd got a job working for a vets and was looking for something similar myself but you put me off again now lol.

Apple picking was nice and peaceful and a lot less stressful lol but the pay was shit (surprise, surprise) and it was hard on the back.

Hi Sarah
really sorry it didn't work out and that you feel that you have no alternative but to be a stay at home mum - I know how excited you were about having some "you time"
i think that unless you can do the full time stuff it's always gonna be a balancing act between outgoings and income and I do think that it's much harder as a part timer to build those work relationships into something worth having.
take care

Hi Sarah, sorry the job didn't work out. I know how hard it is to find part-time work that doesn't involve working evenings in a call-centre...
Best of Luck and hope you find something that suits, without having to fork out a ton of dollars on fuel.

Thanks Sue, I really have been put off for a while so I'm not looking right now. We are off for a boozy weekend to Papamoa in 2 weeks time so I thought that when we get back I can go to the local restaurants/cafes and just get a few hours somewhere for some pocket money... I wont bother trying to get another daytime job. Evenings are probably out too during the week as OH gets back so late from work.

Anyway, Melty... whats this business about having twins soon?? :scared:
Do you know something I dont?? lol
