I've always been interested in how career women cope with the change of becoming a full-time mum. Was it tough to adapt? Do you miss some parts of your old job?

Much better!! All good over here, madly trying to get the house in order for a visit by the rellies... :)

Yeah, it's always tough to reach a point to be happy with your lot. What do you need to change to be happy with what you earn now?

And you're probably working harder now than you were with the 60 hour a week job!

Hi realmum, they're up now. And that's a great goal to have. I need to work toward that too...

Last thing you need to do is to upload a picture! It's easy enough to do if you go to your page "My Page". Helps you stand out from the other shadow people ;)

:) That's great.

It's funny how we get in a habit of buying, buying, buying; and it takes some time to get out of this habit. But when you really look at it, it's usually stuff you don't need.

Great to see you've gone for happiness over money - and achieved it. You should check out this thread - you've probably got some valid points to add!

Hey realmum, 60 hours a week! Wow, I struggle with my 38... Is it working out OK?

Hi realmum, now that's a great goal! I think the problem for most of us is that we always want more, so we're never satisfied. I like it a lot. Maybe you should check out this post:
