Mid Life Crisis - Help

Well not quite a crisis, yet, but let me explain....
My OH and I have been fostering for about 5 years, this means we can work from home and work together - which we both like doing and it means we get to spend maximum time with our (own) kids.
I have also nearly finished a 2 storey extension to the house (now 7 beds) and my OH has an administrative job working 15hrs a week at home
We earn GOOD money and with the tax breaks to foster carers would need to earn IRO £60k PA between us.
The trouble is we are getting fed up with fostering - for various reasons - but have absolutely NO IDEA what to do next!
Has anyone any suggestions - no matter how mad - that we could consider. Between us we have the a wide range of skills and we are both bright people in our mid 40's so there MUST be something that we could do, working for ourselves, that would provide for us and the family.
PLEASE HELP!
Thanks
