Can you ask Mrs Vicar if there is anyone who would be glad to help you with the cleaning? Don't be embarrassed by this: you need help!

I must admit I have been so busy of late that I havent been to the village coffee stop on a Tuesday in months and months! I will have to see how next tuesday pans out after the accupuncture in the morning.
Problem is that while DGD is in nursery thats my day for doing as much as I possibly can thats best done without her around!.:D

Good thinking though Sue.
I have put good old cream cleanser all around the rings on the top, solid plate electric hob.-- and will have a go at it when i get back from my first trip out.


I am going to call into Homebase for a lightbulb for Twin 1's kitchen so I will look for the oven cleaner stuff there, and give it a good go myself before I decide on the help of the professionals or not!.

Molly is still waiting to find out if they are going to give her the transfussion or not. She is borderline apparantly. Very frustrating as she knows she feels much better instantly after one!.

My Mum has just signed into MSN, so time to go and say goodmorning, before I get on and do something more productive!.

Longtime lurker here but Mooloo does know who I am.

I nearly spilt my coffee when I read how much they wanted for cleaning and as to the EA saying to use them I think she must be on commission!

Ask around for someone to do some cleaning for you as soon as you have moved out. I am sure there will be someone if you look in the small window ads at the post office or village shop.

Get some oven pride around £3 from Sainsburys/Tesco. You just put the oven shelves with cleaner into the bags provided. You can use the cleaner on the inside of the oven or hob top but use some rubber gloves as it can burn. It is the best thing I have ever used.

Re carpets look into either hiring a machine or look in ads in local paper for someone with a machine you can hire who will do the job for you - a one man band operation.

Fancy putting cream carpets into a rental place! I can't wait for you to move out of that cottage. It will be a whole new lease of life for you to be warm and cosy. I can't help but feel that your Landlord has been taking you for a ride when you have described the state of the place.

Hi,
Thanks for the good wishes. Im home for now but will have to go back in. Feeling rather useless as I really wanted to help Mooloo organise her move. I can cheer her on from the sidelines though x

Sorry to hear you are unwell Molly. Hope you feel heaps better soon.

I'm sure that just the fact Mooloo will be able to see more of you easily when she moves to her new house is a very comforting thought for her (and you). So don't feel bad about not being able to help more with organising.Perhaps you will be better once shes moved in and you can provide lots help on the other side xxx

Molly will be able to call in for a cuppa when she has been to the doctors, I have jokingly been calling the house, the cafe.!

The council are asking for all of my bankaccounts information for the last two months. Thats going to be complicated to explain.
I have an account that is for the Carers money. Which is quite healthy at the moment, while I wait for the wage slips etc to be sorted and I can pay it out. I hope that that doesnt make a difference with my Housingbenefits. etc.

My savings and DGD's savings are also in seperate accounts, but they are in my name while I wait for the guardianship to go through the courts etc. Then I can access her Trust Fund stuff and start to pay into it etc for her.

I am tired now. Been a quite weekend. I did try to post yesterday but the internet crashed so I couldnt.

BF and I went out for a meal yesterday evening. It was lovely to be Free of children for a little while. Although his eldest son was home when I arrived on Friday, and his daughter was also home.
But I had a break from my lot.

DS has disappointed me, by not being where we arranged to meet this afternoon, and the message I got from the girl who he usually stops with, was that he was having dinner with the family from hell, and was not coming home tonight afterall.
Its moments like this that I want to tell him to go and get stuffed and stay there. But of course I wouldnt be able to carry it through. I am just too soft.
I am tempted to cancel his allowance though!
He has lost his phone charger and therefore I cannot get hold of him and there is no way that I am going into the lions den to get him out!
So tonight its just DGD and myself.

BF was making a beef casserole in his slowcooker, and has given us a bowl full for our meal. So its heating up in the oven as I type. mmmmmm yummy and saves me a lot of hastle tonight.

The heaters are all on, and warming up the cottage slowly. I am unable to light the fire as I dont have enough wood in the house, and am unable to get it in for myself today.

I really am looking foreward to having central heating at the flick of a switch!

BF has said that he will help me clean the cooker to at least save that part of the money, so with the Ovenpride suggested lets hope that we get the marks off of the hob too.

I think that we will try and get the rest of the work done ourselves and just have the carpets done? Then again? Oh I am not sure. We couldnt come to a complete conclusion when discussing it.

Time to get tough with DS I think.He needs to decide where he lives once and for all.He cant just change his plans without telling you with no thought for how it might affect you and DGD.

And the extra mileage for nothing. grr I am so fed up of him, but Biggest of Mooloo said he has to learn his own way, and not to take it to heart, its the only friend he has. (well nobodyelse will want to be his friend if he hangs around with that family.). I am so frustrated.

Bath time for DGD and hopefully a peaceful night ahead of me!

Morning, running late, DGD was up twice in the night, once at 12.30 where she had wet the bed again.! this is not so good. Will need to be further addressed as its creeping up. After months of being dry, this last few weeks its been more often.
She lthen woke again at 3.30 and had a screaming abdab fit at me as I insisted she went to sleep etc. It took about 30 minutes to sort her out, alas I shouted at her, my cool snapped. I am not proud of the fact, but I was exhausted by then, as I had trouble getting back to sleep after the changing of the bed etc at 12.30!
She seems to be OK this morning. Just having breakfast before we go to Playgroup. Running late myself, still need to get dressed etc. But I cant go any faster then I go.

Not sure what the day will have install for me, as the DS was supposed to have been here when my Dad came with the desk/office we got in the charity shop, and dismantle a chest of Drawers that needs to go to the tip, as its all broken. Things Dad nor I can do on our own.

Right better make a move.

Shouting at her now and again will do her no harm. You wouldn't want to raise a child who doesn't know how to cope with people shouting at them when they're adults. Sadly that's how people are, and as long as its not a normal state of affairs for you to be shouting at her all day every day, she'll be fine.

No, I am not that bad. Molly will tell you, I am usually able to keep my cool. (She did the abdabs in Ikea the other week!).
Mostly I keep calm. I was just/am just exhausted at the moment. Dispite not really doing that much extra, I am tired all the time now. I suffer a bit too much from the winter blues.

DGD is in Playgroup, so I have until 11.50 to myself to potter around the house.
Bedding is the first to tackle. One load has been done, about to be finished. Not sure if I can fit the duvet into the washingmachine on my own.

havent heard from DS.
