I still love reading on trains, the springing of Spring, my Mum now lives on Twitter; however more worryingly I am still struggling to run my small business, still receiving many hundred more business marketing emails than ones from clients and am still not a size 10, Boden wearing
However, I solved the self-employment blues by taking on a part-time term time job in a local school which I love but which has actually led to me not having enough time to run the business properly (when your admin pile is twice the size of your ironing pile perhaps it's time to throw in the towel or at least reduce your hours).
This 2 job/2 kids farce has been fantastic for many reasons because having no spare time really simplifies your life, it makes you concentrate on the needs not the wants, it makes you realise you can have time or money but very rarely both (until you have made enough money to take time not to work but by then your children are usually grown up) and it makes you such a logistical expert I honestly think I could direct traffic at spaghetti junction. I have made wonderful friends, learned brilliant practical and life skills and most importantly have realised that as much as I complain about being stupidly busy, tired and fraught at times, juggling is what I am best at (not actual juggling although perhaps there's a YouTube video which could teach me if I have 5 minutes ...)
The Lighthouse Drawing Rooms is what I love to do most - people seem to love what I do too just not in large enough numbers - but if I am not frantic then life can feel a little empty ... hence hello, crochet, yes really. Well, it could have been pole dancing and no-one needs to see that.

For God's sake, don't throw the towel into the ironing pile - sounds as though it's big enough already!
