The main difference is that I've had a lot more outgoings this year, with a holiday abroad in the summer (I usually spend summer at home in Spain or not too far away), so I'm a bit more stretched financially than usual. However, I have no unusual expenses planned for 2019, so hope to slowly gradually regain any lost ground by summer next year. | | |

Although the volume was pretty good in most months, and the overall volume was not bad at all, the monthly volumes were very irregular. I had three months way below the average and three months way above the average.
