A new start for Mooloo

BallandChain

Welcome back Mooloo! Glad you enjoyed your holiday. Hope your son gets his apprenticeship, I can't remember what job that was for! Had a quick look back at this thread and you mention that Twin1 has just had a miscarriage (sorry to hear that) but I thought it was Twin2 who was expecting? What with splitting up with her b/f and losing the baby she must be devastated.

Hi, BallandChain, things are quite confussing for me nevermind other people, it doesnt help that the girls are twins.
DS is going to be a HGV motor mechanic like his dad. at the same company, but not at the same branch. DAF Trucks. (I used to work in thier offices when I was 17 or 18) Thats where I met thier Dad actually, I was paying out his wages!
Twin1 had the Inplant in her arm, so her periods have been practically none for a while, so she didnt know that she was pregnant until the doctors told her she was miscarrying. But it was still a shock to her, and not pleasant.
Twin2 is pregnant, at about 11 weeks I think. I have to take her for her Scan next week. Day before my birthday.
I have to have a "Back to work meeting at 9am on my birthday!."
Cant find the application form for the charity shop job I was interested in trying to go after, and now its going to be too late as tomorrow was the dead line. Think I must have left it in Oxford at BF's!!
Mind you he doesnt think that I would manage it anymore anyway.
I called into the old shop in Oxford the day before I went to Prague, and chatted with one of the people running it. They are still looking for a manager since I left! and the assistant manager from the shop was also laid off with Knee problems. The job is obviously quite a wearing one on people then!.:rolleyes:
DS has decided to go and stay the night with the twins. Well he will stop on the sofa at twin1s but he will mingle with twin2 and her BF.
Tomorrow I said she could come and stay the night here, if she brings the babies travel cot. I think they are all going stir crazy in one room!. Anyway I hope she is going to be nicer too me then she was when she lived with me!

I have spent most of the evening reading the different threads that I subscribe too. Didnt realise it was getting so late into the evening, until I realised how dark it was!.
I could spend all day reading threads! Dont get anything done though so I better stop and go and move the mountain of washing on. I hate to think howmuch electric its costing me, as I am tumbling it dry. Hopefully I will get to hang some out tomorrow,but as I seem to have most of twin1 and her babies clothes they need some back asap!
I will have to speak to her about giving me some money for the electric! Dont like too but I just dont have the funds.
I wish the CSA would get their act together and pay back the money they owe me. (They returned the money to the ex instead of giving it too me, so he has to pay them back before they will give it to me. at around £700 I really need that money.). Ex also promised DS £150 towards his bike, and we havent seen a penny of that either. Having got DS on the road, so he can go out to work, I left myself very short. Its scary. I dont like having no emergency funds left.
This week is catch up week. But what I will have to do, is get my act together and start to raise extra funds through my sewing/and or selling off clothes etc possibly on Ebay. I really have got to stop procrastinating and get some thing done for me and let the others pay thier way etc.

Morning. I actually slept all night. Amazing. Usually have to get up at least once!.
Woke about an hour ago. But I am still sitting in the front room, watching Martin Lewis on the TV!.
Advice about the holidays, (bit late for me, although I think we did nearly all of the things he advised anyway.)
Still moving on the washing for twin1.
I am just going to potter around for the morning. Housework type of stuff. Then I will be going back to Brackley to pick up Twin2's BF and take him to his old home to get some of his stuff. We tried yesterday but his Mum was not in. She said we could go back today after 1pm.! So kind of her. (He has said that I have been more of a mum to him, since he met me, then she has. Oops).
Time to check my account and see if the benefits have gone in. They are late again. ! Its very hit and miss when I get my funds. Its supposed to be regularly on the same day every fortnight, but so far it hasnt been.

Well I can breathe a sigh of relief, my ESA is in the bank at last. Now I will just have to make sure I make it last two weeks!.Mmm. My budgetting skills are still not that great, as I tend to over endulge on things if I go out and about.! Little things that before would not have mattered are now going to.
Just wish I was well enough to get back to work.!
Time to see if I can get my overlocker fixed.
Want to sew a bit today, if I dont waste all my time sitting watching This Morning on the TV!. Mind you, tomorrow is the last episode till end of August, beginning of September, so If I dont start to get into what ever follows it, then I will be able to break the cycle of sitting here on the laptop infront of the tv!!
Really dont feel like running around after the kids today, but I better not let them down. Need to get a few things sorted and over and done with.
Nervous for DS, waiting to hear if he has got the Apprenticeship.
Still not heard anything back from the DLA. But I suppose it will be the same answer as before. So not banking on help there.!

Well I have managed to get the new screw into the overlocker. Now I am trying to get the stitching right. But twin2 has phoned asking where I am, so I have had a quick sandwich and now I am off to sort them out. I am hoping that I will get to finish sorting my machine out when I get back.
Still washing!!

Cancelled bringing twin2 and baby back to mine. I dont feel very well, neck is suffereing from the driving. Time to pull in my horns for a day or two and just try and think about me.
DS is out now until Sunday night. So unless I feel well enough to go to Oxford, I will be on my own for the weekend. We will see as life never seems to go according to plans in my household.
Cooking some new potatoes for my tea, to go with the remains of the salad lurking in the fridge. AS its just me its easy to have what I want. Although I cant always be bothered to cook when its just me.
Doubt I will get back to the sewing tonight. Think it will possibly be an early night for me, we will see how I feel after I have eaten. Not going to do anymore washing today. Done enough.
Twin 1 was not happy as I didnt take her with me this afternoon. To be honest I lost my temper with them all, and said that I was not prepared to do anything else until Tuesday, as I had already said I would take twin2 for her scan. Other then that, they can sort it out themselves. (I was helping at the council this afternoon, and again to get the BF's stuff from his mum, except again she wouldnt let him take anything but a few clothes!. ).

Well another day has dawned, and already I have let two hours go by, and I am still in my dressing gown!. I have eaten my breakfast, had two cups of tea, and been reading the book I had while I was on holiday. I have put in two loads of washing/drying, as I did put one lot on at 2am this morning. Oh just heard the washing machine finish. Perhaps I will stick another load on. Its a pity its wet here, as I will not be able to hang the washing out. I just want to get twin2 's washing done, and out of the way. Then I can get the holiday stuff sorted out and washed.
Today I am hoping to get some housework sorted out. Its been a bit neglected lately. The dust is sort of telling me, Hey over hear, and then the spiders?Eek they have appeared in the corners of the hall etc while I was away.
Aiming for a no spends day today, as I need to get used to stoppng at home and making use of what I have here. The butcher comes by today, but I must resist until he comes again next tuesday. Use the food thats lurking in the fridge and the freezer, especially as its going to be only me here, (I think?).

Sorry if i have missed some info (i usually do) but why are you doing both the twins washing? Isnt it up to social services to support them in all aspects of housework and self care and baby care?

I am so sorry to hear of twin 1's loss.

I was saying about paper bricks a while ago - just to let you know i have started making mine as they dry quicker in the summer.

The girls dont seem to be getting any support, and the people that are supposed to be in the office twice a week, have now closed down as well. They have to buy tokens to use the washing machines, and they have to get them from these people, now 13 or so miles away in Towcester!

I could not leave those babies with dirty clothes and bedding, no matter what.
Twin2 has seen someone once or twice there, but twin1 has been left on her own completely.
It wasnt so bad when her BF was around, but now he has left her, she is floundering. And loosing the baby has been praying on her mind.
I remember when I was shocked to find out that I was expecting, 3 years after I had been sterilised! Within a week, I had found out it was eptopic, and I lost it- via surgery the next day. I was devistated, and for the next 5 or 6 years I would be sad on the day the baby would have been born. So I know what she is going through. Its amazing how we women "bond" with the idea of a baby as soon as we know!. The loss is still difficult.
(I also had a miscarriage with my first pregnancy when I was 19). Not that many ever even knew I was pregnant!). It took me another 5 years to conceive Biggest of Mooloo.
Talking of Biggest of Mooloo, I have only seen her once in the last month. Must call her and ask her to come over.
BF has decided to leave me in peace this weekend, which is probably just as well, as I really do need to get my act together and sort out the dining room and my bedroom. I want to make some more cushions, and bits etc out of the fabrics I have around. I want to move up to making some clothes for those babies too.
Cant do that unless I clear up the dumping ground the dining room has become! OOps.
