A new start for Mooloo

Errata

That's ^^^ a good suggestion. My ma had this problem with my brother and solved it by whipping off his duvet and slinging it down the stairs followed by half a cup of cold water slung over him. She only had do that a few times before he got the message.

I think that I have stressed at him so often that he just ignores me!
I am findng, that I will have to think of another tactic, and keep my blood pressure down.
He has got his friend helping with cutting the lawn and he has been handed the draughtproofing to do around the front door!. I am cooking tea, but will not serve it until those two jobs aredone. Then he has to change his bed, and sort bedding out for his friend.
He has been told, calmly that as he now has the bus pass, if he is not up intime. Then its his problem if we miss the bus.
I wll not be taking him any further then the bus stop from now on.
And I will stand by my guns.!

However he will know that I am struggling as I will becalling him every two minutes to do thisand that, and I will be going to bed very early.

Morning, just had my second cup of tea of the day, and the tablets should start to work soon!.
DGDwoke me at 5am! but I managed to get her to go to sleep again. Now I have to get her up so we can play taxi to her uncle and get him off to college. mmm. I had to tell him off at midnight that he wouldnt be able to get up this morning if he didnt go to bed. So its an ugg the is morning so far.
He will be going back to stay at his friends this weeknd, well tonight now, so I will probably not see him again until Sunday or Monday. I will go and visit my BF with DGD tomorrow evening.
Molly is coming to see me this morning. I have a few lovely ebay scoops to show her, dresses that I have bought for DGD for the holiday. (I have a few more with cardigans also winging thier way here...) Slightly went a bit mad, but there is money in the account set aside for her care, so thats fine.
I will swap it across later if my account is lower then the s/o and DD's are due.
I am hoping that I will be able to prepare some things for sewing tomorrow, when DGD goes to play and stay with her Mum, if I can again rope my good old Dad into bringing her back to me at lunchtime.
Right I better go and makesure that everyone is up.!

Hi Shaz,
I was 4 minutes passed my dealine leaving, (due to him doing this and that, and looking for his stuff) and as we got to the traffic lights the bus went past us. So I did see if I could get it at the next stop, but it wasnt stopped long enough to reach it, so I turned around and left him back at the centre stop. Tough, he will have to wait for the next one. I pressume he will have got to college today, as I didnt hear anything. But you never know.

Twin1 has been on the phone, someone has used her bankdetails to buy something or other and has taken all of her benefit and some, that was due to her today. So she has no money again.
She has been to the bank to find out what was going on, and they have said that they will reimburse the money, but it will take 3 working days. So that is no help, when yesterday she was broke, run out of food, and run out of electricity.!
So Muggings here had to raid the cupboards for food to last her till today. Now it looks like I iwll have to help her for at least 3 more days. I had also put electric on her card, so at least she has electric for a few days. But its not good, not ideal. and the last thing we needed to have to deal with.
I resisted the urge to drive over and sort it out. I just told her what she had to do, and luckily had given her enough stuff to last yesterday.
She said that she had to have to police out yesterday. She was being threatened by the "new boyfriend of last week), Ex BF, who had "dumped" her yesterday. He was trying to kick her door in, and wanted to stab her and watch her die!"
These "sheltered housing" are a complete and utter joke. there is nobody there 24 hours as supposed to be. Council cutbacks?, and there are only cameras. What good are they if he had got in. The other issue is that she is mixing with inappropriate people, and so in the SS eyes, she would not have been able to protect her daughter if she had been there! just another issue of not making the appropriate choices in life I suppose.
Talking of SS I have not seen any of them since 18th August. Then today I have had a call from one of the teams to say they are coming to see me on the 15th October (biggest of Mooloo's Birthday), to go through some forms with me! Well I will not be doing any without my solicitor thats for sure.
The family safetly agreement is that they are supposed to have been seeing us every few weeks, and supporting me. Ha where are they then? Mind you, I dont need thier support these days. I have adapted and learnt to cope. As long as the funding is in place and we can keep our noses above water then that is fine.
Talking of funding, I am allowed to reclaim the passport fees for DGD, but I didnt get a receipt only my bankstatement. So I need to find that and produce that I suppose.
Forgot to ask. Must though as £49 is a large amount of money to not have.
DS is not coming home tonight. So it means that I do not have to go out again. So I can "rest" as long as doing the washing and amusing DGD is classed as resting.

Tomorrow I will go to Oxford in the evening, with DGD, so I will need to make sure we have our overnight bags sorted out. And talking of bags, its time to search for some cases for the holiday at the end of the month. Thats come around fast. Less then 2 weeks to go now.

this is the little dress I got for DGD for her birthday, off of Ebay! I was a little disappointed that it didnt fit her across the chest. Until I went to alter it, and found that it had been taken in. So once I let it out again it was perfect. All for £5.40 Bargain!!! yipee she will look amazingly gorgeous in this!!

Awww, cute dress! I bet she'll look a million dollars in it. x

Ive had a lovely morning with my OS friend Mooloo. Ive been "Moolooised" as everything I declutter I look at it through her eyes and decide if i can recycle, reuse or remodel.

I think I was MSE'd and its rubbing off around me!!
I just wish I could do more recycling projects but als at the moment, my fitness may be better then last week, but its still not what it used to be.!

I had some mince defrosted for the evening meal last night, except therewas only DGD and myself this time, so I divided it up, the first half, just has chopped onion mixed through it, ready for something to be made today. The second half was actually divided into two, and was made into 12 meatballs, and 4 beef burgers.

I am not sure whether I will have time to do my making today, as Its a busy day. But will take the makings of a meal down to the BF's with me, so I dont waste it.

Twin1 needs food to last the weekend, now that her bankcard has had to be cancelled, and the funds "stolen" returned to her? So I will make sure that she has enough to eat.
DS needs foods to tide him through the weekend as the girl he is stayng with is still trying to sort out her tax credits and the like, and I cannot expect her to keep feeding him. This means a general rummage in my larder/freezer and disaster store for some things to divide between them.
This is where my Appr00ved foods stocks come in handy.

Its stay and play at the community centre for DGD and her Mum this morning, and I am going to be busy while she is away.
Now its time to check the bank balance and see if I need to juggle DGD's clothing funds into the main account yet, or if it can stay put.

Oh my G!! The Working tax/child tx credits hve paid me!!! For DS returning to education I hope.!! So I dont need to move any of DGD's funds around. Hurray.!! I can breathe easy that we will have a good holiday now. They hve paid me £250!!!! At this point Mooloo is doing a dance around the sittingroom.. (well in my mind anyway).
12 days to go. I might even be able to buy myself some much needed shoes! (and I mean needed not wanted!).
