Oh that's awful @badmemory. Thankfully that wasn't the case with OH (she passed away in hospital, so care home weren't even aware yet) it was just that he wanted to get it done. He's taken himself out for breakfast this morning and is playing golf later - he felt bad for not working (he works for a friend who is also going through some tough times at the moment), but I helped convince him that it was for the best. I was meant to go into the office today but opted to work from home so I'm at least around. 

OH insisted that I went to acro last night and I have netball tonight. I haven't managed to play netball over the summer (due to plans clashing) and then injured my ankle, so I'm only playing half a game as it will be a tough one tonight! 

I have paid the minimum of £60 on my remaining CC this morning, but nothing much else happening moneywise! It does mean I've paid off another 1%, so total paid is now at 65%. It does feel strange and slightly unsettling to not throw more at it, but this is the plan I'm working to for now!

So sorry to hear about OH mum - although he is coping with it now, you may find that the events of this year may suddenly hit him hard all at once (e.g. around Christmas)

Great news on your energy switch / non switch! Which company were you moving from?

Sorry to hear about DH mum, would he benefit from some bereavement councilling further down the line ? He’s had a tough tough year.

That's awful for OH, bless him. When my mum died I threw myself into work and getting property ready to sell. Then we had Xmas and my 30th birthday and it hit me then. I had to take 2 months off work. So just be there for him ready to catch him when it all catches up with him because it will.

Do you think you'll wait now until OHs flat and share of 2 properties is sorted before moving? Might be less stressful if your house is working OK for you both at the moment.
