Excellent news, I'm very pleased for you. Good luck with the avalanche cupboard
Rally round DS, DGD's mum and Biggest to help you or to keep an eye on DGD while you crack on. You've done a lot for your kids, so it's payback time and normal for all family members to give as much help as is neededd and help mum at a time like this.
Any moaning by them can be countered with the fact that you will never, ever have to move again unless you choose to. It's a one-off and they need to get a grip. Cry if necessary. A lot !
Biggest of Mooloo is in America with her BF until the 3rd November. She was so excited.
I will get them all working with me next week.
I managed the airingcuboard. With 2 binbags of things the twins can have.
I have also tackled the utility room where all the recycling, extra food etc etc was. So thats clean.
I have so much food!! eeek, I will be eating white wine gravey with everything, or strawberry whip!
Seafood sauce and Chilli dip ryvita!!! mmm
I am off to see BF now, I think I deserve the break.
Catch up tomorrow night.When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.0 -

Well its nearly DGD's bath and bedtime.
She has driven me mad all day today. She has tested my patience, and had a tantrum again!. Thought that they had stopped. Now it appears they are back. Well they are not going to wash with me. She will not get her own way.! Especially when its wanting biscuits or sweets etc rather then a meal!.
We drove passed the new house yesterday, and I stopped to have a quick look in the back windows. The neighbour came out and sort of wondered who/what I was doing, so I told her I was her new neighbour, that I was expecting to move in at the end of Nov/beg Dec. She was amazed that they would be ready by then. True, nothing appears to have happened. She enjoyed giving me the gruesome details of the previous tenants.
The old lady died on the sofa,(that one in the back garden!), and that the son was a drug addict and a drinker. Well I could see that by the recycle bins full of the bottles. The garden is in a hell of a mess, with old tyres and tree trunks, and rubbish just everywhere. Its going to take some work to tame it all back, and sort it out. I hope the council will have someof it done before i have to move in!
Apparantly the old ladies cat was locked in the back bedroom, and left to die.. Causing a plague of cockroaches, and other disgusting things.!
So its going to be a fumicated place too by the sounds of it!.
Lovely, just a few things to try to put me off! Oh and I hope you dont mind big dogs as they have two!
Ah well.
By the time I manage to get the keys I am sure there will be no sign of these gruesome things, and that I will have a lovely home very soon!When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.0 -
OMG - I know the woman who was feeding you that stuff about the house. She has a reputation:eek::eek and will have totally over exaggerated.
Perhaps if you are not happy about the house's vibes when you go round it you can request that the place is blessed. I have lived in two houses where family members have died and have not felt any bad vibes especially as their passing was peaceful. This woman was old and her passing natural so why should there be a problem? Open the windows to let her spirit out and request a blessing from Phil - im sure he would be more than happy to help xxI 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.0 -
Mooloo I bet the cottage you live in has more history than that and you have been fine and settled there so I am sure the same will be for this house x0

I may just ask Phil for his blessing anyway. Just because it would be settling.
I am not worried about the woman having died there. We all have to die somewhere and to die at home, is where we would probably all like to go!.
The dead cat may cause the problems.
When I lived in a house once before (the man had died on the loo!), but the dogs used to pee in the downstairs loo. The stench of urine was there no matter what I did, it had soaked into the concrete flooring. I was forever using bleach in there! scrubbing the tiles etc,
I suppose if the cats remains seeped into the floorboards it may cause a problem. However what the family did or didnt do in there is not a problem as long as the council have cleared it all up before we get there.
I shall just keep myself away from that particular neighbour. Which will not be too difficult as they have put up a 6ft fence the length of the garden, and were about to replace the fence at the front too. (Not sure how high that one will be.).When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.0 -

Council's normally clear gardens of rubbish and cut grass. As you're disabled there's no way you can do it or pay someone to do it. Make this very clear to the nice woman at the housing office along the lines of -
'I love gardening and am looking forward to making a garden with flowers etc but I can't even begin to start on that lot blah blah don't want to let the tone of the street down blah blah I'd like to have a go in the most improved garden category blah blah I grow my own veg blah blah currently presents a danger to my DGD and possible a serious health risk to me and her blah blah'.....................I'm smiling because I have no idea what's going on ...:)

:rotfl::rotfl:a lot of blah blah blah ing necessary then!!
My Grandmother would say "weeshed, stop your blethering!!"
I will get the child Social Worker to see about making sure there are no hazards for DGD, see if he can lean on them.
Then I will ask my Social Worker, the one who is getting me help for myself, to also find out if there are charities or other organisations that could sort the garden to give me a head start.When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.0 -
Watching Xfactor, BF's daughter got me into it. Not thrilled at Wagner getting through. The man really gives me the creeps!
Oh well its only a TV programme. Twisted minds must be voting!When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.0 -
Morning,
I am stresse already.
DGD has had me up well before 6 this morning. I am in a foul mood and she is testing my patience already.
Its mornings like this that makes me wonder what the hell I have let myself in for, that i cannot do it, that I don't want to do it, and that I want to Runaway from it all.
I am tearful, stressed out, worn out, and have a hectic day a head of me, as her mum yet again needs to be at the jobcentre for 11.50, no money, and only told me late last night.
Then of course I am at the solicitors about Guardianship at 2pm, so that not a good one is it!
There is no inspiring Mooloo today. The devil within has rebelled!
I feel claustrophobic too.
Deep breathing isnt working!
Better put the kettle on, get some distance between DGD and myself for 5 minutes, so I can regroup, if I can.When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.0
