    Molly, thanks for the Mooloo news. Agree with Shaz, don't be put off. The spite that was directed at you said far more about those posters than it did about you. They should be ashamed of themselves, but doubt they will be - it was easy for them to hide behind a computer screen.

    Thanks for the update Molly. I had a bit of an ear bashing a couple of months back and it put me off for a while too. I guess I learnt the hard way which threads to stay away from. It didn't help that I was asking for help from the forum guides, by messaging them but it was very slow in coming. It's a shame that such a fantastic web site is spoilt by a few careless posters.

    Thanks Molly for updating us on Mooloo. There will always be some people in life who are just not worthy of your time or effort so try not to worry about them.

    Oh Molly,

    I read the thread you started, I am very sorry about the experience you had. I am choosy about where I post as I have learned that not all posters are sympathetic.

    Don't be put off though, I find that most people on here are lovely and will help all they can.

    What I will say though is go through that insurance policy with a fine toothcomb, (I accept that you might have done this). An aquaintance of mine done just that after discussing her husband's illness with a work colleague. If she had not been talking about this to the colleague, she would have never known that they were covered for this particular illness. She got her house paid off, her caravan paid off and a lump sum of money. This came in very handy as the guy was a taxi driver and was not insured for loss of earnings.

    I hope that the issue with your family can be resolved. Take care. x

    Thanks for all your support and advice. I dont want to hijack Mooloo's thread but it has been referred to the Financial Ombudsman but Im not hopeful. As for my PIL they are totally unaware of any of this as they now on holiday abroad for which Im grateful as I dont entirely trust my feelings right now. It gives me much needed breathing space too. x
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

    Let me know how you get on. Is the woman the boys social worker?

    Sorry been away to recharge my batteries so to speak.

    Yes the woman is the social worker for the two DGS's. She is the one that said I could only see them at the Family Centre, supervised access. Thats what hurts as I am no threat to them.
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

    Right, I am sorry that you were worried about me. I was waiting for BF to finish some DIY before going to visit him with DGD.
    I don't like to go down without being invited, when I have DGD, dispite he is so fantastic with her.
    I was getting rather low by Monday so when he said I could go down that evening or Tuesday, I went that evening. I think I was packing and out so fast.
    We had a cloudy start to Tuesday, but after that its been glorious weather.
    We have had a little break, doing nothing much, and its been lovely. I get to re charge my batteries there, and get looked after. As its not my house, I havent any washing, ironing, gardening or really any cooking to do, and with limited access to the computer, my days are longer and lazier. Although DGD never stops talking. She drives you slightly mad with her incessant, whats this, where so and so, who's that, etc etc etc. But at least she is talking so well, and her vocabulary is growing on a daily basis.
    BF's daughter babysat for us last night, and we were able to go out for dinner. We have been together (apart), for the last 6 years now. So there must be something we are doing right. Dispite my paranoia!.

    I have only heard from twin1, DGD's mum while I have been away.
    I have no idea how the meeting with twin2 and SS went on yesterday. I did break the silence my end, and sent her a good luck text, but she didnt acknowledge it. Its quite hard to think that she is not interested in communicating with me. But I will have to learn to get used to it. I know I did nothing wrong. I could not have cared for the boys as well, and that would not have been in thier best interest to have battled on, and lost the battle. I have to accept that she is lashing out at me to blame as she cannot face the blame herself. (But it still hurts).
    I have to think about DGD and myself now. The way I was feeling by Monday was just not good. It was a very low place in my life. I am trying very hard to come out of that place and move on.

    I havent heard from DS either, but as far as I know he has done nothing to seek work, sign on, or follow up on the problems he has left in Oxford. We will see next week no doubt.

    Biggest of Mooloo has just text me, she is going to have DGD for the weekend, and is now going to take her tonight on her way back from work. So I shall be washing her clothes and sorting things out for her bag this afternoon.

    Now already, I have got to go again, as I dropped her off at Play and Stay at 9.30 and its finishing at 11am so I have got to drive back to collect her, and stop off at Mr T for the basics, Milk and the like.
    However I hadnt realised that she was going to be going to Biggests tonight, so I am not sure whether I will abandon ship and go back to Oxford or not? BF's daughter is doing the Race for Life I think it is, tomorrow, and he wants to watch that. I may go and chear her on as well. If not, he will come over to see me tomorrow night. So its been a good week, while he has had time off of work. Back to normal next week though.
    But how lucky were we with the weather!
    Right I better try and find Molly and catch up with her before I do anythng else.

    Must pick up on her motto of Keeping Calm! xx
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

    Hi Mooloo, I'm pleased to hear you managed to recharge your batteries at BF's house.

    Just one question... I think I'm getting in a muddle as I thought Twin2 was the boys' mum and Twin1 was DGD's mum?

    I hope you have a lovely restful weekend, maybe even do a little sewing & gardening :)
