    Even though it is early days, I have not worked on my day off. Hubby and I have spent time visiting elderly relatives, going on a group walk, going away or other things like that.
    Regarding doing a full time job in 80% of the time. There is a little of this but I did put measures in place to pass some of my job onto other people that I trust to do it well. It is working do far.
    I now have to work on handing more over so that I can drop my hours more (more about me learning to release the work - letting go of a certain amount of control).

    I've really enjoyed reading this thread; it's given me some inspiration. My aim is to go part-time eventually. At the moment I want to pay my debt off (mainly uni fees) which will give me £400 in extra disposable income a month. Once I have more to play with I'll be in a better position to go part-time.

    I'm 37 now so I'm hoping I can go part-time within the next 2-3 years.

    Good luck on your own journey, OP!
