Hi diary,

Well my £73 emergency fund is about to go... Been at the hospital all morning, DD has broken her foot, didn't get the chance to go to the shops for party food, behind on the plan, and the car blew a tyre so we've had to buy a part worn to change it as my spare wheel also had a slow puncture.

So in behind plan, with a poorly little girl and no emergency fund xx sigh.

Hey,

Oh bummer sounds like a stressful day!! I know it's annoying when the fund goes but you had an emergency and the money was there waiting. Did it feel better knowing it was covered instead of thinking !!!! where am I going to get the money from?

Hi thanks Hannah and husky

Yeah it was a relief to have the money and not to panic, to be honest I was more worried about DDs broken foot at the time for it to register x

Anyone got any tips on how you keep a 3 year old from walking? I'm seriously considering glueing her to the sofa lol!

Oh she's only 3 bless her! My niece broke her leg when she was 2 you'll be surprised at how quickly they adapt. Lots of colouring books and painting. Do you have one on those little tables they sit at? I remember she sat there a lot dictating ordered!

Hope she recovers from that quickly. And glad that you recognised that for what it was and did something. My mums friend sent her daughter to school with a broken arm when she was distracted with other things. but I can only imagine how hard that is. Xxxx

Well my initial thought was duct/gaff tape, then the words social services came too mind.

in all honest bribery and plonking the bairn in front of tv, be cruel too be kind emotional blackmail santa doesnt come too lil girls who wander about with a broken foot

Ha ha then hope she wonders around and it'll save you money on Christmas presents! Cha Ching xx

Hahaha! Thanks for the suggestions!

Although I think duct tape will work, I will stick to colouring and painting xx
