Sue, it was ok, bit predictable, an eye opener for her, but too much Feng shui for my like! She gave out £250,000 though!

I know! No complaints there ... :rotfl:

Any progress today?

TROUBLE AT THE LODGE.
I didnt get a chance to come on here yesterday as so much was going on.
You would not believe the way some people live, and are.!
Twin2 and her BF, were set upon on Monday night at the hostel, and the place was wrecked!.
The day started off nicely with Biggest of Mooloo coming over to see DGD and I, and we went to the local village hall, coffee morning. But as we left around 11.30ish we had a message from Twin2's BF, and then a call from her as well. There had been trouble and fighting in the hostel. It appears that because of the previous trouble the residence ganged up on twin2 and her bf, (on her for taking him back) and smashed the place up etc.
So it was not safe for them to stay there.
So biggest of Mooloo's and I did a "rescue mission" and went to collect them and bring them here. So I now have everyone in my little cottage! I also have twin1 as its her time to come to see DGD!. Bit of a squash.
I have been on to the council and the social services about it all. But i just couldnt leave them to be attacked again. Everytime they leave thier room to go to the toilet they were getting verbal abuse as well.
Anyway life as we know it will never be the same again!

Oh, Mooloo, it never rains but it pours!!

Oh for heaven's sake!!! What else are you supposed to take on, Mooloo???

I know you feel responsible for your daughter and babies - but you shouldn't have to take it all on your (poorly) shoulders! Insist that SS take on their responsibilities - and what about Twin 2's B/f??? He is the catalyst to this last bit of trouble - he should take on some of the responsibility of getting them out of it!

Wish I could help - all I can do is offer sympathy/exasperation on your behalf

Who said life was easy?
Well they were wrong, mine at least is not!
Never a dull moment hey!
Lets pray that being 2nd on the list soon makes them first on the list.!
On the plus side, we can share the childcare between us!!
On the downside, i have had to put DGD back in to my room with me, and so when she sleeps its not going to be possible for me to finish sewing my mums handbag.
We are thinking about moving the rooms back around, so that we are back in the biggest room as a sitting room, to give the kids a bit of space to run around.
But it will not be today. We have to go and get more of the babies clothes and equipment, then we need to make sure that we are ship shape for the social services visit tomorrow.

On the good side, I had two tickets for the cinema, freebies, and went to see the film The Blind Side, last night. I went with my friend, who I havent had a chance to see for the last 13 weeks.! So I managed a cheap night out, see my friend and escape them all doing thier bit here!
I really enjoyed the film, It was a feelgood type of film, with a good quota of laughter. Which i needed!
So today its learning how to shoe horn us all into the cottage.

Could you contact the other SS department, and ask for them to visit at the same time, just so everyone can see exactly how you are all living? I think that would be the most useful thing, as then they can contact the relevant housing teams to get things sorted out.

Won't this kind of defeat the purpose of them visiting?! If you start moving rooms around to accommodate everyone then the SS will think you are coping and leave you to it yet again.

Let them see the shambles you are all in and make it abundantly clear to them that you are not coping at all and there is no room in that small cottage to support 4 adults (5 if DS comes home) and 3 children!!!

I'm assuming twin2's BF is also there? You have the patience of a saint Mooloo, you really do. Not sure I could tolerate having him under my roof after everything he's done!!!

Mooloo are the police involved?

What on earth do these people think that Twin2's boyfriend was doing that they thought they should take the matter into their own hands? I am not saying it is right but were they also attacking Twin2 as she is not protecting her DS from her boyfriend? I'm not sure boyfriend should be allowed to stay in your home but I guess you feel your hands are tied.

Oh Mooloo I dont know what to say...Im speechless. However Im close by should you need any help or errands run or a well deserved break and cuppa tea x

Errata

I'm so very, very sorry and hope that the police are involved and so they can add their weight to the necessity of twin 2 and her children being housed immediately. Victim Support can also give plenty of support and help if it's needed.
SS may not be able to 'allow' ( sorry that's not the exact word, can't think of the correct one) Twin 2, children and BF stay in your cottage as that will make it severely overcrowded as officially you, DGD and DS live there and it has only 2 bedrooms. Not sure what the rules/regs are on this, but sure there are some somewhere.
