Edz, don't worry - ups & downs, ebbs and flows. I think it was Starsky said that DBing isn't actually that fragile and can stand up to hiccups pretty well - as long as we don't keep making the same mistakes over and over. Which you don't keep doing of course.
It's hard in that some practical stuff just needs attention - even if your W gets antsy about it. I would just play it straight - friendly and firm - no apologies. It's money and it needed addressing.
Sleet today? Ugh - been a bit grey and wet here, but no sleet thankfully!
