Hi all

Skippy, My job means that it is full time only, long explanation but I am a senior manager and it would be impossible to do this role part time. They are fairly flexible though and I can't fault the company I work for in this respect. I also want to earn the full time wage.

Skippy and Spendlove, I think I shall have to look for a childminder come the time, but good tip on asking the school. I think the school clubs might be an option but still don't extend the day enough for me to do a full time job with some travelling time.

Jules and wispa, thanks for all of the tips. I do nothing but sit and play with her when we get home and she has (so far) always stuck to a routing bed time, then I do my jobs and have a glass of wine. So I'm not doing too bad on that front. She is a very good little girl.
