A new start for Mooloo

Savvy_sewing

Morning,
I dont know much about quilting, but there is a place in Weedon, near me, that is a quilting business, so perhaps next week when my mate is off work, we can go for a trip there and see what its all about, and the costings.
I have made cot quilts when the children were little, but never double quilts, as they wouldn't work on my sewing machine. Quilting have much more space between the needle and the workings, a bigger reach. I will find out what I can.
Currently I am spending a lot of time investigating things. Trying to come up with the things that will be the best for me.
The problem is, after doing the budget and debt plan yesterday, I have realised that studying is a bit late. I need to get an income URGENTLY!!
Sitting on here reading all the threads is not helping me to move my self, although it is invaluable for ideas, and where to looks.

Thanks to all for the various links. I have just spent about an hour going through from links to various websites!! mmmmm
Time for a cup of tea. I was going to make one half an hour ago.
Back in a bit. Must move or I will get stuck in the chair!

Mooloo i think you need to check wht your bank said

I went bancrupt due to a failed business in may 2007 and was discharged dec that year i didn't have to make the regular payments(forget what they are called) I didn't really want a bank account of my own so had any money paid into hubbys account

Last year i went to nat west and explained the situation they gave me a savings acct with a card as i would be unlikely to be accepted for a current acct and advised me to go back in 6 months if i really want one (to build up my banking history) I only wanted an account i could put money in and take it out with so haven't bothered.

As i understand it once the bankruptcy is discharged you are free from those debts and don't owe anyone anything(there are a few exceptions like DSS loans and student loans)

Just heard that Biggest of Mooloo's is coming to see me tonight. So I am definitely going to perspone going to Oxford again. BF will just have to do without me for the rest of this week. I hope he will want to take me with him on the weekend, when he takes his DS to Bournemouth Uni, but if he cant, then there is a million things I should be doing here anyway.!

I must appologies profusely to Trishamggirl, for forgetting to thank you for the parcel of cords etc that you sent to me. I can only say SORRY.:o:o:o It is so remiss of me. It was a lovely parcel, and Biggest of Mooloo's was with me that day.
I honestly thought I had replied with a thanks.:T:T How remiss is that of me.
Perhaps I got sidetracked as it was the week I got my car I think!! :oStill that is just not good enough, and I am so sorry.:o:o:o

Shaz, I did tell my bank that I had been discharged, but still they quote that I am not allowed by the government rules. Think I will just sit as I am at the moment. I am really not making enough to make a business. Working Links do not seem to know what is what and have said they would be getting me intouch with Business Links, so I will just see what hoops they expect me to jump through. Meanwhile I think I really need to talk to my doctor and see what he says about the working side of things. I feel pretty pressurised into having to find work, and its just stressing me out. I dont want to have to get all stressed out again.

Talking of stress, I have problems with twin2 telling me lies about her housing situation, and it seems she has not been offered a house as she has stated, and that the flat option may be the only option she has. I think her BF is influencing her at the moment, as he doesnt want to move to Npton.? I really am worried why she is lying to me. I am trying so hard to let her live her life, but when she keeps calling me and asking me to help, what do I do.? I no longer have privvy to the social services or bromford housing meetings, and yet she calls me to help her.

I have just sorted out several letters to her Bank, Mr Howards favourite, and will take them over to her to sign when I am going over on Friday to take her BF to his Jobcentre interviews.

Personnally I am fed up of being used by him too. I shall tell him that if he doesnt start to help himself I am not going to. I have other and better things to do with my time, then run around pulling up their socks and wiping their noses!!!

I really feel as if they are pushing me away, without realising that they are doing it. As I feel like walking away, with the old fashioned addage, of you made your bed etc etc, but I dont want to loose my grandchildren too.
Definately having a low and bad day!!

Errata

I am going over on Friday to take her BF to his Jobcentre interviews

If he can't himself to the JC, how on earth is he going to get himself a job ? I honestly can't see why you either need or have to take him. Let him sink or swim without your help and he will learn that actions have consequences and hopefully get a grip.
I'm sure some people might think I'm being harsh, but there's no reason why he can't stand on his own feet.

Sorry you are having a bad day mooloo life is so complicate at times anyway without financial worries

I have picked up some arnica gel at the healthfood shop it was £5 for a 50ml tube but will go a long way i think (they did have some free samples in little pouches too) fingers crossed

Picked up 6lb of damsons at the market too so used my old lady trolley for the first time damson and apple jelly dripping through the jelly bag already and damson vodka planned for later (when hubby gets home and cann lift the demi johns for me ...............i sometimes feel so useless too)

got some quorn and veggies from garden in the slowcooker to have with pasta for tea and was tempted to make some more jam but arm sore i think a rest in order i have managed a bit of knitting................i seem to have developed a new teqhnique requiring no movement of left hand:rotfl::rotfl:

Hope your day gets better and remember positive mental attitude(i do know that sometimes its hard but some days it really helps me ...........in fact some times i laugh at me rather than getting upset)

Thanks shaz, I dont know how you manage so well, I really get so worn out or procrastinate too long cos I am scared of getting worn out!!! I am just off to post office now, want to claim the tax back off the old car. Every little will help.

Was waiting for the housing lady to ring me back, but I cannot wait in forever. They usually finish off early in these offices so I will pressume that shes not going to get back to me today, and take the risk of dissappearing. May just pop into Mr T on the way back to see what is on offer, and pick up some bananas too.

Mooloo how about making snoogie blankets (blankets with sleeves) out of reclaimed blankets?

The one I bought from QVC last year was over £20 and p&p on top. Allowed me to keep the thermostat turned down once the kids were in bed last winter.

I was looking at this pattern, as I have a kwiksew catalogue, yet another brilliant idea. I really need to see what I have around the house to use up first though. And I have a lot of odds and sodds at the moment.!
I think my problem at the moment is I have been given a lot of ideas, but I just havent had the oomph to get going this last couple of days.
Think I am going around in those circles again!. No doubt seeing eldest daughter tonight might just boost me a bit.
I suppose I cant expect to be full of energy, and busy busy, or I wouldnt have been suffering with my problems and could have been out working in the first place!.
I
Just got back from quick trip to Towcester. Only bought Bananas at 83p, no whoopsies to be had at all.
DVLA application for refund of old car tax posted.
Mooched in the charity shops but no enthusiasm at all today. Decided my pennies really are better off in my purse and not anywhere else at the moment.
As I am not going to Oxford now, Maybe tomorrow will be a better day for me and I will have a better one physically and be able to sit at the sewing machine and catch up on things. I really have not managed all I wanted to do, but when I look at the todo list for today, I have achieved more then I thought.
I think the problems with twin2 and her BF etc have just put me on a downer.
So I think sod the electric bill, I am going to have the hot water on, have a hot bath, and a snuggle up night!.
