A new start for Mooloo

Savvy_sewing

The removal firm cannot move me now until the 21st December. I am gutted.
I dont know what to do for the best. I suppose really I have to just re-arrange it and accept the situation I have found myself in.
There is no point in trying to get all my furniture etc in the house without there being carpets as I cannot move anything myself.

Right time to compose myself. Cuppa went down withoutrealising it. Need another one, and then I will get back into action.

I totally agree with what everyone else is saying, but if this is a new gas supply to the house, they won't have been able to test the central heating etc., and if Mooloo were to move in before that's all done, if there's any leaks (water or gas) or work needing redone it could ruin her carpets etc. I would ask them to exert pressure on National Grid Gas to see if they can come any sooner, given your hysical limitations. Good luck.

oops crossed Mooloo. Right, the best way to look at it, is that, that will give you extra time to get things organised, and things like your curtains etc. Done, which means that when the 21st comes around, you will be in and settled much more quickly, you'll have more time to declutter beforehand. Can you pick up one of those wee 3ft trees to have up just now, for DGD? You could also get your big tree up in the new house before you move. I moved once on December 21st with a 2 year old and terrible morning sickness, and we packed and unpaacked ourselves. It was exhausting but we just did what was essential and then relaxed into Christmas. ie. table chairs sofas beds and kitchen unpacked. Everything else waited. We pakced a suitcase before we moved, as if we were going on holiday, and wore those clothes only for the two week, so we didn't have to think about unpacking everything else until Christmas was by. xx

Thanks Jackie, I will have to be practical about this.
stop panicing, and just get it sorted.
I was so excited about getting into the new house before christmas etc, but as you say, its possble. It just doesnt feel like it at the moment.
I will calm down soon.I just cannot help crying! stupid me. Its not as if I havent moved enough times in the past!
I may have to buy some logs afterall. Its so cold.

Landlord has just negotiated the slope of the drive in his landrover maybe his tracks will make it easier for me to get out.

Time to rally the troops. (OK, thats mostly me!), and get some optimism back into the frame.

Dad has collected twin1, so its just DGD and DS with me now. DGD threw yet another of her wobblies at us. They are getting too frequent and I pray that they will soon stop.
Molly is out shopping so I hope she is wrapped up well.
I must turn my head to other things, its no good.

Must adopt Molly's motto.

Keep Calm and Carry ON!.

Shame about the move mooloo

stay calm though, accept it mentally and move on, theres no point stressing over things that cannot be changed ...i speak from experience ......althought try and claim any costs back you have incurred


As Jackie says do only what you need too ...packing a "holiday" suitcase is a good idea too . TBH what with the weather you may never have made it on time anyway .


pleased to hear DS is planning to spend more time at home i am looking forward to having my DS home for Xmas he will be home for almost 3 weeks

All home today as school is closed and our village is almost cut off . we are at the top of a steep hill so hubby has not tried to go to work, spent the day being homely.....baking and cooking and crocheting(my new found hobby)


Sill got a xmas stocking to finsh for youngest , been promising to do an advent wall hanging for years but never seem to get aroung to it ...terrible really especially considering DS cannot eat chocolate it would be nice to put a little toy in each pocket

Take care

Oh Thank you for thinking of me especially when you are so disappointed today. It was utterly freezing in MK but we did ok and I now feel a little happier about christmas. My DD helped me with the shopping which was brilliant. Afraid I spoilt her a bit but it will be the boys turn next week:eek::eek:

Im so sorry about the move being delayed yet again. I echo what Jackie says and at least you have plans for christmas so it can just be left for a few days. I was utterly convinced that there was CH in the house yesterday as all the snow had melted off the roof and there was a row of birds sat on just your roof. Perhaps they had some fan heaters drying out the plaster etc.

I guess the one positive is that you wont be paying too much in double rent. Thank goodness you have until the end of the year. Hugs to you and DGD xx

I dont seem to hve any patience today. I am not sure I can remember being so stressed out, frustrated and pent up as I feel right now.
I am trying to cope, and on the practical side, I have left messages, and emails, and arranged different bits and pieces, relating to the move.
But on a personal basis, inside I am feeling hard done by, and so negative.
Just lost my temper with DS and DGD. Not good. Screaming back at them is not going to help me, just given me a headache and a guilty complex now for letting go.

now now, no need to feel guilty, YOU ARE ONLY HUMAN although one of the closest to Superhuman I know of.

DS is a big boy now, he must know this is all just too much. And DGD will NOT be scarred for life by the odd screaming fit from you.

definitely time for more tea.

Oh Sue just noticed the bit about having a broken arm. Poor you. I have never had a broken arm, but just being limited in my left arm is bad enough.

I have managed to sit and hand sew 4 little christmas stockings that are going to be for the advent garland (probably for next year at this rate, but may be up a few days late. See how it works out.). I saw one in a shop at £17.99 in just plain gingham, so I decided to make one out of the christmas fabrics that I have lurking around. I could probably have made it much faster if I had got the sewing machine out and used it. But a) DGD was not letting me out of her sight, b) its too cold to move rooms c) it distracted me for longer.
