A new start for Mooloo

Dazi

Hope you are enjoying your bottle of wine, sorting out old paperwork can sometimes bring a great relief, its good to say goodbye to things sometimes!

As always, big hug for you, you take on some much and you really need to spend some 'me' time.

Hope you get on with making some stuff for your business, from the pics I have seen the stuff is all lovely. I think someone has suggested it before but bags for mums with all the various pockets etc seem to be good, I got my daughter a yummy mummy one and although it is very nice, it was very expensive for what it was, am sure that you could come up with your own design.

Also as I have had a bad shoulder lately I have been looking at ergonomic bags, there is a site with patterns you can buy, but again I think you could easily design your own.

Just a thought, if it's not too late, that I personally wouldn't ask twin1 for the Social Worker's phone number.

Just because then it's nothing to do with her that you've been in touch about twin2, she needn't even know you've done it.

I hope that makes sense...

Hi Mooloo,

Have popped out of 'lurk' mode (I love your thread) to suggest a double-check before you send back the timeshare deeds, simply because I never trust anything I'm told on the phone if it's important; as I've had too many times of being told things that were wrong and spending many happy hours trying to sort the results out. And from what you said, the bloke you spoke to didn't sound terribly well informed - just said that he knew people had done it before? Surely there should be some sort of procedure if what he said was right?

Being a complete worry-wort, if it were me, I'd send a recorded delivery letter (with no deeds first) or even an email and say you'd like written confirmation of what you were told on the phone; i.e. no more maintenance if they get the deeds back. Then if they reply, you're home and dry and can send off the deeds with a grin.

Would just hate for them to have your deeds and still try to make you pay maintenance on the grounds that 'it's in the contract' and deny all knowledge of any such arrangement of sending back the deeds meaning no fees and any such phone call that suggested that would be the case...

Anyway, keep on keeping on. Think you've made enormous strides and am really enjoying hearing about your crafting and cooking.

Hi Mooloo just updated myself on your thread. Fingers crossed that things will improve for you,Im sure they will.
Iv been to see a spiritual healer. The healing is free and it the womens house. Everyone was really nice and normal I might add. Mind you what is normal. Well it seems to be working as its chilled me out. Told me quiet a few things which were accurate ie that my mind never stops, problem with my knees ect.
I know many people would scoff at the idea of a healer but Iv found it really helpfull. I suppose it could be mind over matter but whatever it is its working.

Morning all,
I am sorry I have not got back to people, its been a completely differnt weekend to what I thought.
I did indeed open a bottle of wine, and sit going through the dreaded backlog of old filing boxes. Well one completed. (Out of several !). But then about 8pm twin1 rang, upset that twin2 had stopped her BF from Babysitting for her, and that she had made arrangements to go out and her lift was already there. So I said (for once), bring the baby over to me, and I will babysit. As I have already got a travel cot here. Was mending the mesh in the sides the other day.
But bythe time they got here, it turned out that she could no longer stay over at the destintion, and so was stuck with no lift home. So I persuaded her to just stay here with me and relax and I could take her home later on Saturday.
Anyway after much indecision on her part, and cajoling on mine, the lad who gave her the lift went home, (he was only the lift, not a date). and we watched TV together and baby went to sleep in my room. I say baby, but she will be two in October, so shes more of a toddler now.
It was 9am before she woke! So I stayed rather still in the bedroom waiting for her to wake, as she had gone to bed quite late.
We all spent the day together, and as it was so lovely, we went to see my parents, and then we sat in their garden for quite a while while P ran around and wore us all out. We came back to mine for tea, then I took them back to their room at the lodge around 7pm.
BF had gone to Bournemouth, aparantly bad traffic on the way down, but faster on the way back, so he got here at 9pmish. So another night with a bottle of wine:rolleyes:
Yesterday BF moved the tumbledryer from its slot from infront of two cupboards in the utility. (Cannot open them so stored old diaries an photos etc in there.) Thats where we found the deeds to the timeshare.
So today its time to start the letter writing., make sure I dot my I's and cross my T's. I shall cover all the bases I can.

We did some work in the garden, and I made a few more of my paper logs, with the paper that was soaking. I have masses of more paper now!:T So even more logs will be made this week.
When its only me and DS, there really isnt that much paper normally.
My Dad has got on the bandwagon and given me all his old newspapers, and is even keeping the loo roll middles for me!! Oh and jam jars. He said I am getting all his old stuff, I can go there more often he soon wouldnt have anything left to recycle, and as Mum was giving me bits of lace and material, I think I have gathered all the recycling they had!!:T:T:T

BF went when Ihad to go and pick up DS. Not sure whats happening about our holiday now, as the flights are paid for.? All he said was was I sure that giving back the timeshare was what I wanted to do, and that I was not to waste the money I had put by on getting DS' moped fixed!.
Anyway, we didnt argue which was good.

After DS and I got back, I made the apple jelly, (using mutton cloth from my Dad:o), but it didnt set.
I also drew up a skirt pattern and cut that out. But I am a bit shocked as measuring my waist the pattern says Size 18"" Well that cannot be right, as I am only just between a size 10 - 12! Anyway I realised that I miss my sewing dummy!!

Today I am taking DS to his college (late start at11am!). As the moped is not working, but the good news is I checked the mileage on my little car, and I managed to do, 398 miles to the tank!! So it lasted me 12 days driving!! :T:T

I am feeling a lot happier today, the sun is shining, and I have some sewing to do when I get back. This week my friend has finished her uni, and her nursing course, she is now a fully fledged nurse, so she has a week off before she starts her new job in October. So we will spend some time together. Anything thats cheap as neither of us has much money, if any:rolleyes:

I have reboiled up the jam with somemore sugar, see if it sets this time.
Least if it doesnt it was just windfall apples anyway, so its just the cost of the jam sugar.

Time I got off the computer and did something before we leave for DS.

Hope everyone has a good day.(or did have by the time they are reading this).

I think that's what we all think too

I agree with sending a letter to the compnay to clarify exactly what happens if you send back the deeds, i.e. do you have any charges to pay, are you liable for anyother fees until they sell it on etc.

And as for DS's moped - personally I would say "no" to any request for fixing costs until he repays the X-box money...but I know it cannot be easy living somewhere with restricted public transport.

I have written my letter to surrender my deeds, and have taken copies of them etc etc. Just going to take them to my Dad to read through, before I go to the post office and get a recorded delivery, (Or what ever is possible to Portugal).
I have put reference to the end of my legal liabilites etc etc,
So I am taking a deep breath and going to go on my way. Lets hope that its one less debt around my neck.
Re the moped, will phone his dad(reluctantly) and ask him to see if he can look at it again.
The trip to college is 22miles from here, so I have already had to do 44 miles today, and will have the same trip to do this afternoon. So bang goes my fuel budget for the month, (in one week probably!!). Thank Goodness I am not in the big car.

Twin1 gets to sign the papers for her new flat on Thursday, and has asked me to take her there.

I havent heard anything from twin2 since the arguement over the flats etc, although I did bump into her BF when I took twin1 back. I just handed the letter about her banking too him, told him its up to them whether they bother to reclaim things or not, and then I walked out of the place.

I have 2 hours left to myself before I need to go back to get DS. So I really must fly.

Well the trips to college and back hit me at 90miles!. So thats got to be reduced as soon as possible. It also takes up 4 hours of my day. Makes my neck sore, and by the time I got back I wanted my tea and not much else. I was so tempted to have a lie down at tea time, but forced myself to sit at the sewin machine. So I did and hour and a half sewing, making up my skirt (winter one). Not quite finished, but the water was hot enough by then.
Now its time for me to use my massage chair and see if I can iron out the kinks in me!!

Gosh, I hope that your son's father manages to fix the moped ASAP. You really don't need to be doing that much milage for both the cost and your health.

Well yesterday the term was definitely "taxi of Mum", I drove DS to College and back, stopped at my mums (just a roundabout off of route home). Had my letter etc checked and a cup of tea, then went to the post office to post my Deeds off.
Then I just arrived at the village hall for my Tea and Cake, to have Twin2 ring to ask me to take them to the Jobcentre, as they had run out of food. Needed a crisis loan.
I was not happy, but felt I couldnt ignore her afterall. So I had to leave immediately, as they JC only issue the cheques at certain times. Picked her up, got to Banbury and got lost, so we missed the issue time of 11.30, by 3 minutes, and then had to wait for an hour. I sat in the car, while she was in the JC, and wrote notes in my pocket book, as my mind was seething. I was angry with her, angry with the BF, angry with myself for running to the rescue.!!
Then the JC had lost her paperwork, and we had to wait another 30 mins before she got her cheque. Then it was to the post office in Banbury, before dropping her off at her flat. Just as we were leaving DS rang, and wanted picking up in Weston Favell, another 40 miles away by then. So then it was no stop, no lunch, and pick him up!!
Least it gave me a lot of time with DS, and we had a very interesting chat about life, religion, and beliefs. Aura's and angels..
We stopped at the Coop for a quick shop top up, bread, cheese, and chicken. Then after our chicken curry, DS came with me to the Art Club. It was an interesting evening, but I was so very sore. Exhausting hit, and the bones were pretty unforgiving.!
This morning I feel like I have been through a war!! In the end I did 150 miles yesterday.

Today its a measly 88 miles, unless I end up having to go anywhere else.
Perhaps I will manage to get the skirt finished. I really need to organise my wardrobe so I have Winter weight things that fit!!.
Got to go, its time for the first journey of the day.
