A new start for Mooloo

Savvy_sewing

I could claim back on the Tax credits 93days I think he said, but if I do that then Twin1 would be done for fraudulantly claiming. So I will just go from this week, as I dont want her to have so much debt when she is going to have to live off of less. But I will make sure she knows that she has to stop claiming as off this week. (Or she will be in trouble).

This morning I am taking DGD to stop at my parents again, while I go to the physio. Then will have to think about the logistics of the day. Twin1 needs to be visiting her daughter, and that means I will have to put up with twin2's BF if she does.! Its a real nuisance.
Right I was in bed by 7.30pm last night. so I should be feeling full of the joys of spring for having nearly 11 hours in bed. DGD woke me up at 6.05am.
I did wake a few times, between really weird dreams.
Oh well.
There is still a lot of things to do. At least I managed to get a Mr A delivery sorted out for twin2, so we dont have to brave a big shop.
Will need to make sure I go and get the money from her, before she spends it on anything else!. Although she seems to be getting better control of her money. thank goodness.
Right I better go or I will be late.

Hope physio is helpful x

Hello all,
Well I am very sore after physio. Stupid me though, I got the day wrong, it was tomorrow morning at 9.30. But they had a cancellation at 11.30 so DGD and I stayed with my parents for a couple of hours and I went back for the 11.30 appointment. I was pushed and pulled about a bit, and had to show my movement limits so that has really made me "burn" in places.
The problems with my neck, have decended further down the spine, and its not sciatica its my spondylitis thats making me worse. But to add to it all, the pain in my left hip is actually being caused by my arches colapsing in my feet, which has twisted my knee in the wrong direction, and therefore my hip too. so two of the vertibrae in my lower spine, are rubbing against each other!!
I also got told off for carrying my DGD on my left hip! No more!!! Must hold her infront of me with her legs around my waist if I have to pick her up.
Also have to get arch supports for my shoes, do loads of different exercises, not only my head/neck ones, and try to strengthen my stomach muscles to help support the spine etc!!!!!
Falling to pieces me!! Oh dear.

Well I was supposed to be sorting out the twins, but once I got the milk/babypowder milk for twin2, i dropped it off and came straight home. DGD had fallen asleep in the car, which was a pity as once we stopped that was her awake, and will be now until tonight when she goes to bed.

Biggest of Mooloo sounds very down today, and so she rang me from her job. I said I will talk to her tonight when she comes for dinner. Its wednesday, so she comes over for her tea. I suppose that will soon stop once she takes on DGD!.

Twin1 was expecting me to collect her this afternoon, but I said it will have to be tomorrow now as I am so tired, and couldnt drive anymore today. She was fine about it. No surprises there then!.

Now I have to go and re think my budget, as Twin2 has messed up her money afterall and so cannot give me back the money for the food shopping until next week now!! Thats the last time that I will do that for her without getting the money off of her first.
Better go and see whats left in the bank, so that I dont spend anything I shouldnt do by mistake.

((Hugs)) Mooloo - I know the physio is hurting but hopefully after a few more sessions you'll start to see some sort of improvement.

Well Biggest of Mooloo has gone, and we had a good chat. We rang the Tax Credits people asking them for a quote for her, when she takes on DGD. So she has a rough idea now of what kind of money she will be getting, and whether or not she can go part time at work. She is really wanting to do 10 - 4, rather then the 9 - 6 that she is currently doing. It will still rely on me collecting DGD every day from Nursery etc, and having her until tea time. ( I am not sure that I was planning on being free babysitting etc So I also have a lot to think about.).
Anyway she seemes to be happier and thats a plus.

I am so sore, its unbelievable. I shall be off to bed soon.
Hopefully tomorrow its going to be an easier day, but the way things go for me, I doubt it!

Time has been flying buy this morning. Not even dressed so I better update later on. Going to attempt to get the kids together for a while later. So logistics problems to solve.
DGD doing fine, more and more accurate use of the potty. Lets hope I can get her trained before she moves out.
Right will catch up later.

That is a big commitment for you to have to pick up DGD from nursery each day. Are you sure you are up for that? What if you are ill, car breaks down, you go to your bf's, hospital apt, etc? Is biggest having second thoughts about taking on DGD?

I am feeling a little disgruntled with everyone at the moment.
I am feeling the stress again.
The family rely on me to keep it going, and as mentioned, its a lot to take on.
I am really fed up of them all.
I had a row with twin1 yesterday morning. Dispite my telling her to change her benefits etc, she hasnt. She got annoyed at me when i said I was going to claim the benefits for DGD. Apparantly she has applied/been granted a Budgeting loan based on her getting the benefits! I lost it, told her that I am fed up of struggling, that I had left it until now while she sorted things out at the flat, but that she is no longer entitled to it all, and that both her and twin2's BF, who was also in the car, should be both going and searching for jobs, not still in bed at 10am in the morning.
I did the throw the dummy out of the pram bit, I did the its not fair, and I am not having it, etc etc etc.
I had gone to Northampton to collect them, left them with DGD (in bed for her sleep) at my cottage, went to Brackley and picked up Twin2 and her kids. Left them at mine and went for a couple of hours to chat with an old friend. I had enough.
Then I had to take twin2 and hers back, yesterday afternoon, and the others are still here.
I have to take them back this morning to Northampton. Then I need to collect my prescription, a letter from my doctor for Social and get myself packed up to go to Oxford this evening, once DGD goes to Biggest of Mooloo for the weekend.

I wasn't going to go to Oxford origianally, as there is so much I wanted to do here, but I need the "get away" that going brings. I am also in a bit of a bad way, with my bones, so over doing it, has not helped/ and doing more will not help!.

Yesterday evening, DGD made a whole the whole length of the cot side, and climbed through it! So I have got to try and patch it up as I cannot afford to buy a new one, and its not really worth it, becuase she is getting to the age where she will need to be in a bed soon.!

I should be making a move, and getting going, but I am up in my room, and savouring the space! Alas it will not get things done.
