Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse.....

Hi everyone, I'm sorry for having a rant but need to get things off my chest.
If you've read my posts before then you'll know we're in a financial black hole.

Well as if that wasn't bad enough, in the last 2 weeks I've had a bump in my car and probably written it off ( should get confirmation from the insurance company tomorrow), but hubby got caught speeding in his car (tut tut) and has got a letter through with a court date, my daughter has ended up in hospital with breathing difficulties, and now to top it all my hubby has found out today that there will be redundancies where he works. He's to reapply for his job, but basically 50% of the work force will be getting paid off. He'll find out for definite on 01/10 if he's going. :mad:

Right rant over - and managed to type that without any tears!
My daughters health issues have put my money worries into perspective, but god only knows what will happen if he loses his job - because from the sounds of it with the redundacy package he 'll be lucky to get 2 months wages :cry: .

Thanks for listening anyway! I'll keep you posted!
