Or get her a big bunch of flowers!!!
When the clutch kit is bolted to the flywheel, might be worth seeing if its tight and you shouldnt be able to spin the centre plate. You might need a old lay shaft, or whatever the splined bit that comes out of the gearbox is called.
If it feels tight, it might be the gearbox is making the centre plate lose contact. Which as tcb says could point to a stuck clutch release arm, or the slave cylinder might be too long and not giving any free play on the clutch.
The release bearing all OK??
Failing that any good mobile mechanics that might be able to diagnose the problem. Know its going to cost, but save throwing more money at it.
Hope you can get it sorted quickly.
