    Well done on paying some more off the card.  Good that you'll be able to manage without his income, but as you say he's got a job waiting for him when all this is over, just a temporary hitch.  Sounds like you're keeping yourself out of mischief during lockdown 😁

    I just think it's a great opportunity to get the jobs you've been putting off due to time constraints.......there's no excuse really now but only if you have the stuff in already to get the job done.  That includes my mountain of paperwork xx

    What a shame about hubby's work.  At least you have a plan.

    Good to have abbie home again.  It must be hard being away from home in these situations.

    Wow that's an impressive amount to pay off.  The card will soon be gone at this rate.
