Feeling pretty much scared-excited-happy-terrified today. This is the most seriously we've ever spoken about my resigning. This might actually happen. We've been looking at ways to cut expenses - some hopefully temporarily, assuming I can make some money independently sooner or later. We have a possible opportunity with Peter's sister's company. I broached the subject with the girls today to see how they felt about the idea. They loved the idea of being able to do so much more together in the school holidays (11 weeks out of 52 they are on holiday!) and they seemed ok with the idea of spending less money on non-essentials, specifically satellite TV to name one example. I know they are far too little to understand the implications of moving from one and a half incomes to one, but it helps to know there won't be an immediate mutiny when satellite TV is no longer available. I didn't mention the suspension of their educations funds.

In other news, Robyn had her first ballet exam today. I hope she isn't too disappointed when she gets her results. The teacher told me privately afterwards when I asked that her group of three was a little 'vague'. Ballet is a cut-throat scene. I have a friend with an older daughter who adores ballet, yet she just doesn't make the grade for some indefinable and largely unexplained reason. And this year she was advised not to do the exam with the rest of her class. Which really sucks.

I'm supposed to be writing a story right now for Tuesday's meeting. Better get down to it.
