    #09 decided to get rid of my 0% credit card early to make things easier so sorry to say august will be a loss of £-466.

    hopefully will be on course for the year next month.

    At the moment everyday brings its own challenges and I’m just dealing with everything as best I can. Needless to say, some days are better than others.

    Bless you, yes it will be challenging, losing your wife of 35 years is a massive blow, to quote the late Queen Elizabeth II, "grief is the price we pay for love". You've just got to take each day as it comes and be gentle with yourself.
