    50 hours looking after children, few hours paper work each evening, weekends dedicated to planning for the next week, training, cooking, cleaning,risk assessing everything you do (or even just think), and I thought I would do this so I would have more time to spend with my family!!! I need to hire some help, perhaps a childminder for my own kids?!
