Well I don't go out to work any more (used to go out in evenings doing party plan), just build websites in spare time to get the extra money needed.

I work 50-70 hours a week as a CM and I do between 10 - 30 hours a week consulting!

Really should spend more time asleep!

But I am doing it so that we can move house and send DD to the school we want! Won't be forever and I have always worked hard!

Hi all

I work 2 hours each early morning four days per week as keyworker to young Autistic adult before childmindig begins but only have 2 mindees, one for 4 days and the other for 2 afternoons. If I hadn't had this opportunity, I think I would have gone bankrupt by now! Still waiting to fill all my vacancies....

Make sure you advertise everywhere you can online too. I posted a big list of places earlier - have a look!

Off to bed now!

I also work part-time for the NHS. I can't afford to give up the paid hols/sick leave and pension that come with the NHS (you don't get any of that when you are self-employed!) and love the job too.
