Thanks all, yes Seesaw that's pretty much what I've started doing applying for other jobs, but of course I can't really know whether it would be better somewhere else or not. It'd be a chance. In the meantime it might not harm to get a few interviews.

I really need to have a serious talk about the hours again and see what their response is.

Thanks Rojola, please don't think bad of me when I say I'm very fortunate that I don't need FT hours, I realise that is unusual and I'm very lucky.
