One of the first things people say to you when you have a baby is to start looking for childcare. They don’t tell you that childbirth actually really, really hurts, or that you never do quite return to your minimal farting self, but they do advise that you start making the rounds of childminders and nurseries as soon as you’re mobile again.

Now I know that I’ve been mobile since about six weeks after the birth of the bambino but I only started looking for childcare last week. She’s just over six months old….and I return to work in just over 4 weeks… Aaaaaaaghhh! Being totally truthful, I figured that if I didn’t look for a childminder, returning to work wouldn’t seem real, and I could pretend that my maternity leave went on forever. Who knew I would enjoy being at home so much?
