percivalOk, I now have a plan.
Prerequisite: Don't give birth until September next year. (Shouldn't be much of a problem, that one!)
September-December:
January-June:
Summer:
Autumn:
This is all very frightening and very exciting, because I am trying a different non-academic career. Of course, no security and bad pay. And lots of fun.
And a portable massage chair for 150 quid and aromatherapy oils for 100 quid.

On a lighter note, Hubby and myself have been together for 8 years today. 'Twas me who started it all, by writing a lovesick letter to him, in the knowledge that I would soon be off to Edinburgh for a year. He wrote me a card back, I allowed him to open his letter, he read it and ... made his move. When we got together, he liked me and found me attractive, but he wasn't head over heels in love with me. That has changed over time, as you may be pleased to hear :)
He's still right behind me, and I'm right behind him. Even though he would never give up a well paying job for an insecure future, he supports fully what I am doing now. Heck, for most of those eight years, I earned far more than him. That is just now beginning to change ... quite dramatically.
