How do you combat leaching of confidence?

Just returned from my latest 3 hr. round trip (110 miles) to my training centre for a skills test, which was reasonably not flyable owing to poor weather at the field.

That is the sixth cancellation, five of which have been due to poor weather. The other one, whilst the weather was good, was cancelled when I got there because the other party was unavailable.

The point which arises from this has an insidious effect on me - and I'd appreciate any advice anyone can give me:

The ever-increasing length of time between my last flight, and when the weather (and everything else) is finally suitable and present makes me worry that aspects of my flying may have become not so natural - and that this will show in my skill test.

OK - rant over, thanks for reading!
