Indeed
at least once a day I get some kind of message worrying about something that may or may not happen months from now. Today our bank is doing some maintenance on the online banking website so she can't check our accounts. She checks them about 4 times a day, she knows exactly what we have but because she can't see it shes panicking about money, me telling her not to panic as we had lots of money yesterday and we haven't spent any today isn't helping.

Withdraw £400 right now and hide it

Plus she probably knows that the online banking [or my one at least] only refreshes once a day, but that don't stop it.
Things like on Monday, I thought Ma' was supposed to come over at 10am [I was wrong, but still], was calling her from like 9 'till 13:00, started panicking at 12ish, ended up calling her neighbour - her phone was on mute from the pictures the day before, and i'm not sure why the house-phone wasn't working.

I've never done that before, but I got myself so worked up, that it lasted all day. Pure dread.

Ours refreshes instantly. If I withdraw from paypal its in there right away
Its the pending transactions that don't show up right away but thats down to the stores. Tesco take days to take our money, no wonder they're up shit creak.

Ahh, cool, mine might be like that, I barely check it - as long as there are more ins than outs.
Thinking about it, it's weird, the stuff I should really worry over, I don't give a shit... I don't really care about money or health, it is what it is... but i'll spend a whole afternoon picking out a dinner.

Sounds like a perfect time to buy a new car.

And what's wrong with my low mileage, great condition, 1.6l VW Polo?

My wife's 7 months pregnant and is going through the 'nesting' thing.
Loads of mentalness about tiny details months away. We had a panic the other day about where the christmas tree was going to go.
