the frustration is doing my head in
its been a light relief in the last 2 weeks, we house sat for a friend and it took my mind away from my own life.... but i am home now and wanna ttc all over again. Urgh.
We have some very minor overdrafts to clear (literally nothing to fret over) but i quit my job 2 months ago as I couldnt cope with the stress and havent found anything since. But I want a job... anything, to make some money to put aside for baby fund....as husband earns way enough for everything else.... and will do after i have baby as his pay only goes up each year so i'd only need the job for about a year or so...but i cant find anything!!! Argh. Stressed, the longer i wait the longer i have to be without ttc. Also I dont know whether to work there long enough to qualify for maternity pay... which is rubbish anyway.
Oh dear, this is long and dull, sorry!

I understand your frustration. I left my job a couple of years ago because it was very stressful. It took me 7 months to find something else. However I did think it was important to me to find a job before we started to ttc. My husband also earns enough to support us and he is quite willing too but I don't think he should have to bear that responsibility on his own. We are a team. I also think as an individual I have to look to the future and need a job so that I can put into a pension etc. I am not saying it is going to be easy and I am definitely not looking forward to juggling child care arrangements and coordinating demands of a job if we are lucky enough to get pg but I think it has to be done.
Your circumstances might be slightly different to mine but my advice would be to keep trying to get a job as it will benefit you in the long term.

P.S. Have you considered volunteering? I volunteered with the wrvs at our local hospital. It helped my morale and kept me busy. It is also always a good thing to have your cv
I don't really want to be out of work for too long, but its finding something that won't make me depressed again. Which is hard.
I do want a job to save money for baby and then have it on hold while i bring up baby... and then have it as something i can do after baby is grown up... if u know what i mean?xx
