I spoke to my manager today, and asked if she would consider letting me go Part Time..... and she said YES!!!!
I am so pleased.
3 days a week starting in April, and I'm using Annual Leave to let me do a 4 day week until then.
This is such a relief, I feel so much better now, as though I am back in control instead of running around scrabbling for an hour here and ten minutes there.
A huge Thank you to everyone here for all your support and encouragement, I would never have got this far without all of you.

Leonie, this is in large part down to you for creating such a visit-able website for me as a first step.
I am so relieved. having decided that it's what I wanted to do, I was so apprehensive that she'd say it wasn't possible and I would end up having to look for another job. This is really the best of both worlds, and is indeed a "next step" rather than a leap into the unknown. I'm quite a cautious person, so I feel happy with this as a gradual progression.

Well done. Just don't get sidetracked into spending absolutely all the time you've freed up on your business though!
