Trills - my advice would be that if you ever do decide to have children it is really hard with a career. Also i you get used to the money you earn in a hectic job and then lose that when you go on maternity leave.
I think it is impossible to combine both unless you work from home. My current job is totally unpredictable so I could be in the office till 4.30am - not good for child care. And flying to Ireland for 3 days with 1 days notice, nice.
I'm probably being patronising sorry, I'm sure you know all this, but to be honest if I could go back and do it again I'd skip the degree and do something more vocational so I could be my own boss and fit around the DC. We're looking at franchises at the moment.
Shiny - 3 limited edition world tour ones, i've put on at 99p start, will see what happens. The 3 cost me £12 so hope to make a profit.
