Great to hear from you Teeki, it is so quiet in here these days. I miss hearing from everyone.

I hear you on the pinch, DH has been out of work 3 months now - 3 months was the point at which needed to reasses our main expense - childcare! But he has had three interviews this week after months of nothing. Fingers crossed one works out and gets sorted soon.

Could your 4 hours be done in the evening? Sometimes I wish I had gone back to work earlier to have reduced the financial pressures later. So maybe if you could cope with it ok maybe it might enable you to keep going with your current work arrangements for longer perhaps??
