Good Morning Friends 
Ouch Cap!
Touch wood .. I have never had an issue with my girls and the heat. I ensure they have lots of water, watermelon, shade and a mister .. if it is really hot, they just plonk themselves on the damp dirt and ride it out
Diva I do not know how hot it actually needs to be to fry an egg but I do know that they have been fried on car bonnets in outback Aus and on tarmac.
Thank you all for your kind words and support … While hubby is not concerned about how much I earn “we will be fine”, I am now going through the ‘what if’s’ .. what if I get sick? No income. What if I should find myself on my own for whatever reason; am I going to be earning enough to get by?
At the moment I have all the benefits of holiday pay, sick leave etc and while I am in a happy relationship, I have the cushion of being financially independent and a Plan B if things should go wrong. That may not be the case when I start out with my own business and I am getting to the age that finding a new, ‘secure’, regular income again if I had to would not be easy.
So, now I have two options, do I stay in a ‘secure’ job where I am not happy and stressed, or do I take the chance and do something which I believe will make me much happier but is a step into the ‘unknown’ and less ‘secure and independent’?
When I ponder the challenge ahead of me I get excited, but when I go through the ‘what if’s’ I worry that the decision is not a good one. However, on the other hand, if I say to myself “OK, then stay where you are”, that is depressing!
I know you guys n’ gals are not in a position to advise me per say, but I would appreciate your thoughts or similar experiences; act as my sounding boards so to speak? Feel free to be honest!
