sarahew Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 I get a bit lonely some days, and wonder if making contact with others doing the same job from home as me might help keep the old spirits up. Plus it would be nice to get to know some new writers / media bods.

verds Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Yes, I work from home and juggle two small daughters with it. Sometimes I use the bribery of Peppa Pig while I do phone interviews. I really miss being in an office full of funny women chatting about celebrities though! Let me know if I can join a meet-up, especially if it's wine-based...

sarahew Posted July 5, 2013 Author Share Posted July 5, 2013 Hi Verds. I definitely miss the office full of women, and the men for that matter. It's been a while for me now as I went freelance a couple of years before having the boys (3.5 and 17m old now). Another mum has mailed me, who works in music and events. She fancies a daytime meet-up, so less wine, but a bit of a break from the norm. If you fancy it, send me a PM or leave a message.

sarahew Posted July 5, 2013 Author Share Posted July 5, 2013 Yes! Of course. Looks like there are four of us. Perhaps we could get a meet in before the school holidays? A week on Monday, would work for me. Next week is a bit mad.

sarahew Posted July 22, 2013 Author Share Posted July 22, 2013 Hi everyone. Helena, Lorraine and I met up this morning, and had a lovely coffee, croissant and chat about our various working freelance mum experiences. Thanks to Lorraine's husband for providing the venue at Captured in the Rye on Pellat Road. I think we'll meet again, so if any of you would like to come along please leave a note here or PM me.
