It's the same for many of us Ed. I find the love again and want to build a bike, start collecting parts then ooof, a boot in the bollux in the form of a bill of some sort, the latest was £500 notes for a new gas hob and boiler flue in the property I rent out 6 weeks before Christmas and £500 a week after Christmas for a new back door.
I've 2 bikes to do and no spare cash to do it, hence getting rid of my DB.
