Some advice if you will.

My wife had been self employed (part time) for the past four years. She declared everything and was averaging about €5k pa. It wasn't much but paid a bill or two.
Last March she closed up as it wasn't feasible to continue anymore.

I work full time in a decent public sector job.

Thank you
