    No you're not the only one who worries about the future - its the nature of being self employed i am afraid but then again in this climate some people are constantly worrying when they are employed by someone else.

    I try to ensure that part of my income is not earmarked for anything i.e. bills etc so that I have something to fall back on if someone leaves.
    I'm not paranoid - the world IS out to get me!

    I just ask. if you're worried ask to sit down and have a chat about when lo starts nursery and what she is thinking of doing. I had one said little one was staying with me on the day he comes (they live elsewhere) but now she's fallen pregnant so he'll be leaving me anyway.
