I may try the spread sheet - I can use a computer for Art stuff (photoshop etc) but I never tried for planning/budgeting - although I keep records long hand. We are not big land owners - but could and now will grow a lot more. There are loans/mortgage to be repaid of course, so careful planning will be essential. I think my main fear is that half pay may become no pay if this recession deepens - no one is ordering anything - so there is nothing to be made, (OH is a production engineer).
Fortunately there is still demand for tutoring - just as well cos not many people are buying art either.
And yes - we will all be better when we come out the other side - I will see more of my OH - and we may return to some joint projects now that the children have all grown up.
