it is lovely to hear you sounding so positive

Oh I do get positive some of the time.! Once upon a time I was always positive, its just harder sometimes. There has been so much going on, that has not been positive.

But if I was to stay pessimistic then I dont think I would cope with the things that we have had to cope with for a while.!

I am looking forward to some good things happening for the family, as surely they must.

Now I better go and wake DGD as she has been in bed for about 3 hours! Mind you she did get up at 5am.

I still have a lot to do to work on the budget, as usuing the Money Budget I am still spending something like £100 a week more than I can afford!:eek: Well I would be if I was putting the money away for some of those annual bills.!

Don't forget that your old water bill is not far from done now. That'll be some extra pennies in your pocket.
Just a thought, what do your parents think should happen to DGD? x

They love her too, and are worried. If Biggest of mooloo is ok about taking her on, they will support her as much as they can, I am sure.
They just think its too much for me to do. Worry about my health.

DGD is just eating her tea now, as we are running late with her sleeping late. Hope it wll mean that we are not up at 5am tomorrow!

Ooooh a 5am start isn't good, lol. I hope that she sleeps better tonight. x

Well she is down, but singing to herself. But perhaps we will get a longer lie in in the moning. 7am would be fine for me.!

I am tired now as I have been on the computer nearly all day, reading, and faffing about. Did do an approved food order and a monthly order for Mr A.
i am hoping now that the cupboards will be full to the brim, and the fridge and freezer, and I will make it all stretch until at least March.
Except for Milk and Fresh fruit for DGD. When she has moved or is away at her Aunties I can use UHT milk. I will just eat more frozen vegetables until the ones I plan to grow start to come through.

I may have lost my herbs as I forgot to water them when i got back yesterday, and this evening I only just remembered and they look somewhat whilted. Oops

I am not sure that I have the energy to stay up vey long now. I was planning to do some seed planting in the relitavely warmth. i.e. the kitchen. But I am not sure I can be bothered. Perhaps I will do it with dgd tomorrow.

Morning, Well I am about to go down to the Coffee shop. Havent been much lately. I think only twice since christmas, if that.
Then I am going to visit Twin2, and see the new baby, and after lunch we are going to Northampton to collect DGD's Mum, twin1, for a day or two.
Biggest of mooloo has offered to take DGD for Thursday/ to sunday Lunch, when she then has to work in the club. So that will be the longest time that she will have had DGD. Astart to a move to the future.

I didnt do anything else last night. Went to bed, and read my book for half an hours.
It was me that woke at 5am!!
DGD woke at about 6.45.

Right Its time I made a move and showed my face in the village. Typically the fire is roaring away today.! What luck I have with the stupid thing!.

Catch up later.
Molly41, I will be free for a cuppa and a natter now, anytime for the rest of the week it looks like!

Ha ha, it may have stopped in Brackley but its still here in the village. And was back in Brackley I see by this afternoon.
I have been to the coffee shop, everyone has been wondering where I have been. All pleased to see DGD. Had our tea and cake, was given some pillowslips that I am going to turn into Shopping bags for the bazaar.
Then had a return call from the Social worker, which was a waste of a call really as she had not found out any information before calling me, and had really only read the report. (Stupid woman). Anyway, we have told her that she is going to have to meet up with Biggest of Mooloo and get the ball rolling about her taking things on. So she is going to investigate what has to be done her end etc .
Biggest of Mooloo has already been thinking about practicalities and schools etc as well as housing. She has been busy about things to consider.

After the call to Social I went to Brackley to see Twin2 and check up on her and the babies.
I had to laugh as DGS2 decided that his "liquid" nappy contents would be good to spray all over his father just at the change of a nappy! He was mortified, and I had to go out of the room as I was laughing.

Amazingly Twin2 had paid her rent up to date, and is £3 in credit.! Apparantly she is number 2 on the housing list for a 2 bedroomed house at the moment, and number 9 on the list for a 3 bedroomed. But thats still how long is a piece of string. The housing officer was very impressed and praised her up, and said that "he" has lost her all her confidence and so they have made a big thing of how well she is doing.
The Bromford Housing Officer who is supporting them while they look for a tenancy has managed to get Home Start to offer their services to her as well.
She has also been going to some Sure start meetings, but has to book them in advance, which has not been so easy when she runs out of credit on her phone. but still she is moving forward a little. Fingers crossed things can stay that way.
she has a meeting with the Social that I am invited to, on Thursday afternoon. So we will see what that will pick up. (After the call from Social the other week).
She also had enough money to pay me back the money I lent her last weekend for the electric cards, and also gave me £10 towards my petrol, as she wanted to come with me to Northampton to see her sister.
So we both went, with DGD, to Norhtampton to collect twin1 at 3.30ish. We then went back to Towcester to see My Parents.
I think that some talking has been going on about my situation too, as My parents think that it would be a better idea for me to leave the village and go and live back in Towcester.
(Either that or they have been reading this thread!), They too said I can use the back garden for my growing, or if I start to do containers here, I could bring them to their garden while I settle etc. They also said that it may be a good idea for me to take over Biggest of Mooloo's flat. As it is a ground floor flat, in a good area. But no garden. Containers on the patio?

So I have a lot to think about.
Then we had to take twin2 back to Brackley before coming back to the village.
I cooked tea, and twin1 did the fire. She has just now done DGD/s bed routine, and she is now in bed.
So lets hope we have my Mr.A. delivery soon, (7pm-9pm). The sooner the earlier I can have a lie down.

Molly41, not sure if you will be on here again tonight, but I think that if tomorrow we could meet, snow permitting that would be great.

So there we are, so much to think about, and so much to do!
Also I need to toss these ideas about with my BF.

My parents think that I should not worry about DS, because even if he did come home, he wouldnt be home for long!. I suppose they are right, but it still worries me.
He has just come up on MSN so I told him I was thinking of taking over Biggest of Mooloo's flat. (Just so he knows that I may not be stopping here.)

And somewhere amongst all of this, I want to get time to do a little sewing.! Do you think I might?

Morning, I am holed up in my bedroom, for some peace. Twin1 is here with DGD so I had a lie in. Except I was awake earlier, and pretended to be asleep when DGD wanted to come in to see me. I did go down stairs, grabbed the laptop, and so have seen them.
I suggested that she taked DGD to the Playgroup this morning, but she wont. She was also asking about going home as early as possible, if her sister is having her daughter later tonight. So she really has switched off somewhat.
I am off to meet Molly41 and so will leave her and DGD with her sister. To be on the safe side, they can all divide the child care between all the three kids!

I have had a rough night with my back/sciatica, as well as my neck last night, so my movement is a little stiff today!. But I am hoping that it will not hold me back for a bit of time out. I reallly am looking forward to meeting up and getting away from all of this brain numbing problems to contemplate.
