    Looks like I am too late.But never mind.
    Off to the BF's.

    DS has been sent a letter for his EMA agreement to sign and return
    DGD just dropped my laptop and now the space bar is not working unless I really bang it.Something to deal with on my return.
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

    Well I didnt get to the charity shops. I managed to get a suitcase for DGD She was happy to pull it (while empty),to the car. We were with BF, and he was brilliant with her.
    I got some flipflops in a £ shop for her, and a set of knickers for her as we seem to only have a few really, and I wont be washing if I can help it on holiday. The time is coming around fast now.
    The post brought the rest of the things that I had bought on ebAy. Ypee, she will be spoilt for clothes for holiday now. Not stuck just with jeans and tshirts!.

    The letter explaining the tax credits etc has arrived too.

    For the first time in a while, it looks like we will be able to actually live, and not just exist. (AS long as DS stays in education that is). But it will also affect my housingbenefit, and I will probably now have to pay part of the rent.But that will be OK, as there will be more money coming in.
    Biggest of Mooloo rang me on Friday, she has hurt her elbow/arm and is experiencing some of the syptoms that Shaz and i get!
    (Excpt ours is due to the neck).

    Shaz DGD is going to be 3!!!where does the time go?
    I have had her living with me, 10months next week.

    What a time we have experienced through those months, well even the 3 years of her life. Plus. if I am to take in the bankruptcy times as well.

    Onwards and upwards from now on I hope.

  • Lovely positive post Mooloo XXXX

    (except for Biggest's troubles, hope its just a temporary niggle)

    Yes I am feeling more positive and upbeat at the moment. Time with BF and his family was good. DGD gets attention from the teenagers as they come and go, and she follows BF around,dispite his stickler for the rules. He even had her helping him to make bananna cake with him this morning!
    She slept for 12 hours lastnight and used her potty beside her bed. Well done all round. Although I was up longer and am tired, I had a relaxing time once i got there. The drive was busy as I was driving in rushhour, but that was the only hickup!.

    I too hope that Biggest's troubles are just temporary, as she has enough issues with her knees from dancing, and the arm will mean no batton twirling for her for a while

    Right, I better think about the evening meal and what we are still to do for the rest of the evening.

    Oh, still so cute though!!
    I shall call biggest of Mooloo later today, at work I hope? she is worried about loosing money as she had to pay an extra months rent on her flat, as her written notice was 3 days late!!

    I have a parcel to post today. Received it in error from an ebayseller, who sent me two parcels, one of which was not mine. Said I would forward it to the purchaser for her as it will be quite late now,(its taken the seller about a week to get back to me).
    so a reason to go out later. Also twin1 who;s bank account has been frozen due to a fraudulant use of her card (in the USA??) needs a trip to sign on, and hopefully we can get the jobcentre to pay her a giro this week? Her money was swallowed up by the mess.

    BF has indeed been great with dgd, and it helps that his kids are accepting her into the house more and more, a really big help. His daughter has given her lots of her old books and toys. (which is something as she is 17 and still had her Peebo books etc etc, all in wonderful condition!).

    Time to update the bank accounts, and move some money around.
    Get dgd her breakfast. too.
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.
  • Oh dear, DGD is not too well. She didnt eat her breakfast, and went back to bed at 9.30 and only just got up again. She is now lying on the settee watching a bit of TV. But she never lies on the sofa. She always sits at her little table or on the floor. Gave her childrens paracetamol, and hope she will improve. She is not often unwell.
    DS is in trouble. The DVLA are after the tax of the moped. So DS didnt report it stolen, or off the road etc etc early in the year.Stupid boy.
