A new start for Mooloo

Molly41

Hi,
Just a quick post on behalf of Mooloo, as she is running around getting sorted for her much deserved break. Mooloo and I have had a lovely chat and cuppa this morning and she wants you all to know that the visit with the boys went really well. Her eldest grandson, in particular, gave her a lovely hug. They both seem well. I am happy to report that Mooloo looks much better than when I saw her last week and we had great fun sorting her packing. She is going to look gorgeous with her capsule wardrobe. She has been busy creating a lovely skirt and bag from bits and pieces to take away with her. Very clever lady :T. Have a lovely holiday Mooloo, cant wait to catch up with you at our Tuesday coffee morning. Hugs xx

Thanks for the update Molly. You are a fab friend to mooloo. x

Thankyou - she is a very good friend to me too. It was a friendship that "was meant to be" and one that i have MSE to thank for. I have also forged links with a local church through the coffee mornings which has given me great comfort recently. x

Hello, I have finally managed to sit down with the laptop. DGD is sitting at the little coffee table infront of the TV, playing with her plasticine, rolling pin and cutters.
I managed to get my coat washed, dried and sewn the buttons back on. (They are ceramic so cannot go in the machine.). Looks like new again.
I made myself a skirt out of a pair of jeans, and added some embelishments yesterday. Made a shopping bag out of an old canvas chair cover and the remains of a broken pair of DGD's reins!, sewn Mooloo on the "bib" as a motif on the bag. Bit mad but I was feeling a bit mad.

As Molly has told you, I thought the meeting with DGS's went well. Although I did sort of off load my problems about the situation to the carer who was supervising the visit. DGS1 came running up and asked for a hug. The baby smiles and gurgles, but I did find it hard. DGD and DGS1 played nicely together and both gave each other hugs on arrival and when we left.
DGD is calling them "her boys". When are we going to see my boys she said.
She keeps asking after DGS1 by name all the time. Its difficult. I hated saying goodbye though.
We collected twin1 and she stayed here yesterday evening, which allowed me the time to sew. I missed my evening meal as I was so engrossed!.
Come to think of it I missed my lunch today too!! As I had to go and collect DGD from Twin1 after her first visit to the "play and stay" session in the town.
It was a great success, and she wants to go again. She said she "Painted and sang"
She has had a long sleep this afternoon, which allowed me to pack her stuff to go to Biggest of Mooloo's and do some ironing. I seam to have found an energy from somewhere and I am not sure where.?
I shall hopefully sleep well for the few hours this evening that I hope to get, as we are off at some ungodly hour. Not sure what time yet, but check ins close at 5.40 so we have to get to the airport too. Going from Stanstead, so it will take an hour or so. I dont want to leave it late, i have being late. I once nearly missed a plane as the person driving us got lost!
I just hope that the few things that I have managed to throw together will turn me into a "vision" worth seeing as going to italy its a style place isnt it? mmm It would also be nice if my BF appreciates things!! I am sure he will, he always notices if I have something new, or change my hair etc etc etc.

I have to pack the car, cook us some tea and then we can think about taking DGD to Biggests around 6.45 - 7pm. Then I can get on my way to BF's, and aim to be asleep by around 9pm! If I can sleep, as I am always scared that I will not wake up and will miss the flight!! Silly woman that I am.

I really appreciate all the good wishes, they must have followed me along yesterday.
I really am getting excited about my little break, I laughingly said I didnt mind if the ash cloud came along and we had to stay there longer! give me a week or a fortnight that would have been lovely. But of course Biggest of Mooloo cannot get anymore time off of work.
Sheis going to America in 13 weeks time and needs her days for that.
She is a good girl, without her help I could not do any of this.

Catch up with you all, late Monday, or on Tuesday morning.
Will hopefully be seeing Molly for tea at our local coffee stop.

I have so enjoyed my sewing, that I really must make the time to sew, even when I think that i am too tired i ought to try and do half an hour, as when i started to sew yesterday I really got the buzz again. I was only going to finish the skirt and then I saw my heat pad that needed recovering, then the bag idea came up just becuase i saw the two bits of fabric lying there.

I just got a text from the woman who DS was living with,telling me that I owe £384.30 of his rent, at £76.86 a week. AND HE WAS SHARING A ROOM WITH HER SON???// some friend she is then.
I have told her that I dont owe it, he does, and that I will sort it out when I get back. Get him to see the council etc etc. But I am damd if I am going to pay her when she texts me like that.
I think that If she turns funny I may be able to get her on not having a rent book etc etc! But I hope that I dont have to do it.
She is a greedy mare!
Right I better cook our meal and then we can start to get ready to go go go.

Mooloo, have a good (and very welcome!) holiday!

pleased this visit went well , have a great holiday


I thought Ds was getting benefit at that house ....i assume it was paid direct to her? perhaps it just hasn't been sorted yet it takes about 6 weeks here

see you next week and have a wonderful time

I've just heard on the news that all European flights are going to be cancelled until Tuesday so Mooloo may get that extended break she desperately needs after all

jackieglasgow

Ooh wouldn't that be good except Biggest will have work, hope she's OK to keep DGD if that's the case?

Molly41

Why are they going to be cancelled? I will look and see and perhaps text her?

Where did this info come from? I cant see anything? Its not a BA flight. Please could you point me in the right direction?
