Well good luck with the work, I think there are plenty of people to do the leg work. Will you be available for consulting?

Good luck with it. At least you've got a thriving website to show to people.

Good luck! My ex-OH (Ah, it feels so good to be able to put the Ex bit! ) just about survived financially for ages on historical support work and the occasional one off job. Hope you find a peach to keep you happy and comfortable.

Jem: can't you find a sugar-parent? We don't want to lose you! And, no, I'm broke so can't fulfill that brief

No chance

In fact I am just going to make a 20 mile round journey to pick up a m8, because one of my taps is sligthtely loose, and despite assorted tools I lack the dexterity to reach to tighten it

But I need it done now, because a sink unit I want to put in, will make the space even more confined.

I don't think Jema would suit the bowler hat and dinner jacket though.

Keeping a tight tap is always important.

When my eldest daughter was 3 she used to come into the kitchen when I was cooking, with a couple of plastic spanners, and say, "I'm just going to mend the taps". It was very cute, but I wish she'd wanted to stay and learn to cook like Mummy too. (Perhaps she preferred the idea of cooking like someone else! LOL)
