What this has displaced in the budget: the car being fixed, and a holiday. I have decided that is the right trade for now and I reserve the right to change my mind.

A month she could not pay and what happened.

Told my partner what it actually costs. That conversation was overdue by about four months.

Did the arithmetic out loud, on the page, no rounding. It is a lot. Seeing it written down was steadying rather than frightening, which I had not expected.

Shift. Go.

Sitting with you on this one. Nothing to add.

Please do take that to your GP rather than waiting for the next review. Not to frighten you — just, go.

No wisdom, just: I am sorry. That sounds genuinely hard.

Thank you for saying the hard part out loud. It makes it easier for the rest of us to.
