Many of you know that at the end of September, I quit my teaching job in order to Aunty more fulltime. I thought that may be a couple of days a week. But at the moment, it really is fulltime. I've done this post more as a sort of accounting to myself, and been surprised at what this job actually consists of. It's also a useful log for later, when I have to account to others for hours worked.
