A new start for Mooloo

jackieglasgow

Wow, Mooloo, that is fantastic. I hope they are going to backdate it, what a boost that will be. The other thing is, that at that much, if SS don't help you get her a nursery place, there will be enough for you to get her into a private nursery for a few sessions a week if you want to, for some extra R&R, and it will be good for her too, to have other kids about. What a relief for you. I just knew things were going to get better for you. Don't forget the lotto is £17m tonight!

Oh too late to put on the lotto. Not going to collect Twin1 and DGD until 7.30 this evening. No shops here in the village.
Came home felt tired, and slept until 5.45!!!
Must have needed it. Woke suddenly. Just realised that the post also brought my sewing magazine! So used to the magazine that comes through the door being a motorbike one for the previous owner I hadnt even looked at it!!

You can do it online. Takes five mins to set up an account. Haven't bought a paper ticket for years. Don't worry my promise still holds! X

I have had some not so good reports about twin2, and am now very worried about what she is getting up to, and who she is letting into her house.
Shall have to go and give her a serious talking too tomorrow. IF I find out that the things are true, then I shall be obliged to rethink what I do to help, and what I have to tell SS.
She seems to be already "seeing" another boy, and has given out keys to her place!!!
I am not impressed with the mess, and when I have been around although the kids are OK, the rubbish is around everywhere already!. She hasnt even been in there more than a week.
twin1 has spent today with her, and is also saying that there is a new boy on the scene! Oh dear, oh dear.

I will not be able to take on her two as well. I already have DGD and that really is enough. Its put a dampener on the evening. Thats for sure.

The landlord is sending a chimney sweep back around tomorrow, and then a handyman is coming to put a cage over the chimney.
The doctor is ringing me back, and I am arranging for a letter to be written to the council about my housing. As I am already still high up in list, they say to get a place,if I am havin DGD permanantly. (Well long term), then I need better accommodation, as I still need a room for DS and or Twin1 to stop on her visits. Also have to get a letter from the Social to say that I have now got Kinship of DGD.

So I am slowly coming to terms with the fact that I may have to leave my rented cottage, to give a better home to DGD. This may be a lovely cottage, but it is not a practical place for DGD.

Jackie when my next funds come in, perhaps I will investigate the lotto on line!!
Actually I am beginning to think that if I stepped back from the kids, I would have never had to leave the village, it could all be delivered from the internet!!

Morning, well its nearly afternoon.
I had to get up early, and get my body moving, so that I could drive Twin1 back to town, she still hasnt done her packing and she is to be out by the weekend!. She now wants to come here for the overlap and not go to her sisters. (After her day with her yesterday). We had to go early as Ihad the chimney sweep,. It was just as well as he was early.!
Missed grabbing the landlord unfortunately. He came by and spoke to the chimney sweep outside, but then he was off in his landrover before i could catch up with him.
DGD has been digging in the garden but its very cold out there.

I am waiting for the doctors call now.
Going to do DGD an early lunch and see if she will have a nap. I have a few sewing things to finish off. (Mending unfortunately not fun stuff!).

It takes about an hour for a return journey to my Mum & Dads. I went home yesterday evening and slept from 5:30pm to near 11pm which was when I wokeand got my jags - I am a diabetic, got some tea and went back to bed to near 9am this morning except for about an hour. The lack of sleep over the last 2 months with Dad being in and out of hospital had taken its toll but now I am feeling better that I have caught up on my sleep.

Did you get any sewing done yesterday? Is your left arm any better today?

Savvy_sewing

My arm is not good at the moment. Didnt sew yesterday in the end. But I have done a little bit today. mending. Replacement zip. Still have a pair of jeans to patch but arms just not up to it.
Maybe next week? As Twin1 needs to get packed and I will be going over tomorrow, as she has not done it and she has to be out by Sunday. The housing people rang me back today, and told me they havent even started repairing the place. So she is going to have to move in here!! EEk. hell.
No where to store her stuff, and nobody to help move it, as her Dad is not available at the weekend.She wasnt ready for him to help today!! Typical.

Thats not going to be any help to my arm at all.

Hope that you continue to get better sleep Jo4. Take care. Mooloo

Can you rope DS in to help? I'm sure he's got more interesting things to do over the weekend, but ...

DS went back to Oxford on Monday.

Well things are not so good, but not so bad. Still no funding. But then I didnt get out to post the Mandate back so thats my fault. Will do that today.

BF and I are still in long talks about "us" and of course now that I was talking about getting DGD for a more permanant length of time, he is thinking that this is probably the "last straw". He is not prepared to take me and her on. Which i suppose is understandable and fair enough. But of course its a bit gutting that I cannot find the right way forward.
His kids are just at the beginning of leaving home. Eldest last friday. Middle one is away at Uni, so only the 17 year old left.
The thought of another kid for the next 18 - 20 years is too much for him.

Actually when you put it like that, its a bit much for me too. It is only 2 weeks ago, that I thought that she was soon to be moving to her Aunties after all.

Looks like I have some very tough times ahead still.
If only SS could have worked with twin1 to support her with her daughter and not take her off of her, so easily. (Considering the way they have been with her twin I find it incredible to be honest!).

My head just keeps going around and around over things. The consequences of this decision, and the effect on everyone around me, as well as on me. The consequencese are very high. Or should I be saying the stakes are very high at the moment.!.

Well I cannot change things overnight, so I just have to make the decisions I am, at the moment. Its very difficult to get everything together into a package that suits everyone. unfortuantely trying to get everyone together to discuss things is not possible, and trying to make informative decisions is not so easy, when they are not all around at the same time. You cant pass ideas around together or come up with the right answers when nobody seems to know what the other is really after in the grand scheme of things!

Well twin1 will need me to go over today, so I better get breakfast and get us moving. We have been up an hour and only had a drink and DGD is watching the TV again. I really am a bit remiss, she has watched a lot of it at the moment.
