    It was the fact that he was supposed to be doing a complete packing service for me, one day, and moving me the next. He didnt tell me that he couldnt do anything until after christmas now! He had plenty of opportunity, as Ihad provisionally booked him in for the week of the 6th so nothing had changed.
    I am upset and angry.
    I know it will sort it self out, correction, I will sort it out, but at the moment I feel very alone, and very tired, and very very stressed. What with the LAC review for DGd coming up, and feeling as if I was doomed for a life of hell the way she is at the moment. I wonder if I am sane anymore!.
    i really am loosing the plot today.
    I know in reality I do have until newyears eve to get out of this house, but I dont want to be here anylonger as I am too cold, and too isolated when I feel the winter blues and the like.
    Oh mooloo (sorry not said hello for ages) I moved a few years ago & found 1 of these man & a van outfits in the small ads in the paper think it was actually 3 blokes & a lorry but they moved my stuff including w machine , cooker, bed, fridge sofa etc 40 miles & charged me £50 I did have to box up my stuff but they did everything else & took it all up a flight of stairs- might be worth asking around see if anyone can recommend someone. Good luck with the move:grouphug:
    Booo!!!

    Well after a good cry, and DGD was in bed, I turned my attention too... Wrapping a couple of christmas presents that i have already. But It took me a while, as I have decided to use the tools of my trade, and used pretty fabrics to wrap instead of paper.
    I have the advent socks to still cut out. So I may take them with me to BF's and do them there. At least I will get some peace as he helps with DGD.

    I shall go and get dressed now. I have been juggling my money, to make sure that I have my Rent for here sorted out. Then I will need the rent for the next place, With that sorted out, I can see whats left in the pot for the move.
    Its just booking someone I suppose.!
    I will check those references in a little while. I truely am grateful. I really was feeling let down and stressed.
    The man has had the check to email me and offer to move me the week of the 20th if I source my boxes! As if I would. I couldnt trust him, and i want to be in before then if I possibly can. I have not replied to him. The written word may go against me at the moment.!
    I have forwarded his email to my Dad, to read and to check that I am not over reacting.

    Oh god she has just got Suedocrem everywhere! Here we go. Steam coming out of my ears!
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

    Got to go. Running late.

    THANKS EVERYONE FOR PUTTING MY FEET FIRMLY BACK ON THE GROUND!

  • Chill Mooloo, it'll all happen! I'm sure you had serious words with DGD over the Sudocrem incident. I remember my daughter doing it at about the same age.... she's never touched it since! LOL.

    Have a carpet company coming to quote for a basic carpet throughout the upstairs and they will fit the carpet I chose off of the internet if it arrives intime. They are to meet me at the new house at 4pm on Friday next week, as soon as I get the keys, to be able to get carpet sorted before the furniture arrives.
    I missed the call back from the people that are helping me with the wardrobes, so thats to do on Monday. Then Sky to sort out.
    BT cannot do the phones until the 13th.
    Oh well.
    Have been here at the BF's chilling out. Taking DGD to a party on the way home, and then back to the grindstone. DGD is in Nursery tomorrow, and so I need to change her days with the playgroup, so that we can see DGS's on Tuesday for DGS1's birthday.


    BIGGEST OF MOOLOO is getting married! Well she got engaged on Friday. As I was already here, she text me.

  • Oh that is wonderful news, your year is coming to an exciting close. Hopefully the new year will bring more good things for you and your Mooloo.x
