What to next, gear wise

As a consequence of having a 5 month old baby and work being fairly manic, I'm not getting much time to play at the moment.  I pretty much just play at rehearsal's every few weeks and then gigs.

So I have thinned down my amps to just be left with my Cornford MK50.  Without much practice time, I am finding it very unforgiving though.

I can't see any more time freeing up to practice so does anyone have any thoughts on what I could do?

What sort of amps are in the same ballpark, sound and quality wise, but might give me a bit more room for error?

Thanks

Blow 40 odd quid on a Blackstar Fly. I have young children and a studio full of lovely amps, yet I find myself playing the Fly at home more than anything else.

If funds permit I'd recommend going for one of the Core ID range. plenty loud enough for home use and have a few built in effects.

I found myself in a vary similar position, big amp, small house, low volume doesn't sound particularly good which in turn was  putting me off playing. I picked up the ID20 last week and have played everyday! it's really reignited my playing/practice regime.

Thanks.

I've had a Pod HD and still have an iRig HD around somewhere that I never really got on with though.

I'm just not finding I have any time to practice, so it's not so much a volume problem.

I guess I really want thoughts on a gigging amp that is on par with the Cornford but just easier to play.  Don't mind spending a bit, as will probably buy second hand and can sell later.
