It's got a bit like that where I am at the moment. I was struggling but now have work coming out of my ears and I'm still getting loads of phone calls!

Fantastic - well done.

I too was worried a while ago (about this time last year). It was actually affecting my health where I was so worried about paying the mortgage etc.

Now I am having to recommend other Childminders as I am having tons of phone calls and can't fit them all in.
