Being self employed has been my saviour for the last couple of years. I have loved the freedom that it gives me when it comes to having the kids. If one of them is ill, there is no one to call in sick to, I just do my work from the comfort of my home in the evening or when they are having a snooze. But sometimes it’s not just the kids that has me slacking off, I am finding in this pregnancy that I lack effort to get done what I need to, and of course if I don’t get the work done then I don’t get paid.
I also miss my heels. I miss putting on some smart clothes and being me for a change. I actually cannot remember how to walk down the street not pushing a pushchair. I also find being self employed a bit annoying when it comes to needing a new car. Last time I bought a new car, I simply went to the dealership and got my brand new car on finance. This time obviously being self employed I don’t have that luxury as my income isn’t as secure as being in permanent employment, and I can tell you now I will not be going to one of those car supermarkets that charge me a small fortune just because I am self employed.
So what’s the plan? I think it would be healthy to get back to work and being as I am on the main commuter line and have childcare in the form of my mother in law nearby, I am looking at jobs in London which will give me the income and the independence away my from beautiful children. Well, that is if I can bring myself to get the heels back on and find myself again! Oh and I can buy the new car I want without my husband even knowing…
