Thanks Susana and RD - You're both very kind - and RD, the awe goes both ways!

I think for now, the onus is on me to improve my earnings here and be more secure myself in the longer term - so that's what I'll be working on. I have trundled along with my no pressure freelance work, which is great and that can continue for a while. but I plan to add something else in and (hopefully) increase my earnings in coming months. That way, finances aren't such a pressing factor, and I can keep on as I am..
