Well i waiting for her to have a panic attack yesterday and sure enough the BF phoned saying he couldn't get her out of this one he thinks Abbie was listening to the phone call beteween him and the car insurers and she starting panicking, by the time he phone me he had timed it at 10 minutes, i was on the phone for 30 minutes and told him to get his mum, his mum was great got her to check Abbie's responses whilst i asked questions, turns out the panic attach had turned in hyperventilation so his mum to her to hospital and they sorted her out got her heart rate down and gave her some oxygen. that's the second time she had this now. She's also go bruising across her chest from the seat belt doing it's job. Did offer to go pick her up and bring her home but she said she would be OK and let me know how she's doing tomorrow xx poor girl and I felt so helpless not being able to comfort her except with words over the phone.
in money news I transfered £7.91 towards the holiday fund only £13.22 will hopefully have that tomorrow. then I'll start paying off the little bits I've racked up on my very account £70 and replenish the emergency fund as I took money out of that account for the house insurance so I could pay it all in one and also money for the washing machine so would like this done by the time we go on holiday.
Hubby has finished fixing the alloys he bought for abbie's birthday, he bought a banged up set of £50 off FB and has spent the last 4 weeks stripping the wheels and finally got the pain and lacquer on them last night and the difference is amazing will try and get the before and after pictures, you need to see them to believe it. We just need to get new tyres but the money has been set by for them so I'm organised a wee bit
I'm now on day two of my migraine but I've taken painkillers hope they kick in soon as I managed to gut half my kitchen pulling everything out cupboards and giving them a good scrub and getting rid of stuff we no long use so I intend to continue to do this as well as get my ironing pile out the way when my wee mindee goes for a nap, if he turns up as they are running late as usual.
hope everyone has a nice Tuesday xx

Too much to do @beanielou or so I think I have......mind seems to want to keep busy.
Well hit my target of £2800 for holiday spends and hubby hasn't a clue and I intend to keep it that way ..........is that bad?? This includes the taxi fare to and from the airport so I'm a bit organised.
So today I took Xand out to get him some new joggers and a top and a hoodie, boy did good we got him adidas joggers from £40 down to £25 and then in another shop we got a NASA hoodie and a NASA t shirt from which should have cost me £46 but I only paid £28 so defo bargains,unfortunately the little dude is in small gents clothing which certainly costs a lot more than kids clothes but he's all pleased with what hes got so hes away to spend the night at his grans and he's showing off his new clothes bless him.
also went to home bargains and picked up some face-masks for my gran because up here its mandatory for masks from Friday so thought I would buy her some. ended up spending £38 in there but did get 4 bottles of sun-cream so can't really complain.
More drama with Abbie's passport.........they asked for her letter from deed poll and a bank statement showing she was using her new name sent the on the 12th June and now today I got a email saying they need her new certificate, cue me frantically searching abbie's room trying to find it, who knew filing of paperwork was in amongst the bedding she keeps in her room. Bought her a paperwork organiser for her, she better use it.
Came home and have cleared my fridge out and wiped everything down so only thing i need to tackle in the kitchen is the deaded cooker but I have the oven pride already but its a bit 2 oven 1 grill 7 burner cooker so not small at all but Ill tackle a bit tonight and leave the stuff to soak in the bag overnight and see how we get on xx
Happy hump day guys xx

Not bad at all, I used to hide money from my ex.
Hope Abbie is feeling better today. XSeptember 2017 Debt = £25330

The less you tell men the better in my experience especially money wise. That’s a very respectable amount of spending money 👍 Sounds like it will do Abbie the world of good to get away from it all, she’s not had the best of times recently. How long until you go?I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)3
