A new start for Mooloo

Keeping_Motivated

Morning Mooloo I hope today runs smoothly. Are you enjoying your new car, is it making a difference considering how many extra miles you are doing at the moment?

I really hope you get some peace of mind once Twin1 is in her 24 hour wardened flat, about time!

Fingers crossed Twin2 accepts something similar soon, a little worrying that her boyfriend did not want to accept it makes you wonder is he scared of being watched/monitored by the wardens and what has he got to hide?

I'm glad DS is going to college and has some direction and fingers crossed the bike is sorted soon so he can travel himself.

Take care x

He has more than likely been told / sussed that as the flat is in a supported housing unit he would no doubt not be able to stay there under the tenancy terms...so he would be homeless - and as a single person, would probably be at the bottom of the housing list.

Oooh good point floss2, I think you may be onto something there.

It was a standard clause in the tenancy agreements for a supported housing unit from a former job!

I don't think he's actually supposed to be staying with her in her current place.

No, he's probably not.....and in the new place there is 24 hour warden support...

Morning, Well I am afraid I didnt manage not to lift! I did much to much lifting and going up and down stairs then I would have liked!.
I am struggling this morning, and I knew I would. Twin1 is now in the new flat, along with BGP. Think will have to think of another name for BGP soon as she will be 2 soon!. TP? ToddlerP, but that sort of reminds me of th Baby P case, mmmm Maybe I will just use her name?
The flat was in a terrible state, Flat I should say room. Most of the stuff is now out, it took 5 car loads. Biggest of Mooloo and I did the first runs, both with our little corsa's full to the brim. And we left Twin1 and DGD at the flat. To start putting things away. Also to keep DGD out of the mess etc, she needed her sleep, so we made up the cot and then we went back to the Rooms, clearing loads of stuff, picking up one of Biggests friends on the way, to help.
We dismantled the bed, and twin2's BF half heartedly helped move some of the things downstairs, then at 4pm my Dad came along in his car, and they loaded up his car, and Biggests car, while I continued the delving into the unknowns of the cupboards, and the fridge,,,EEK
Then the others went off when thier cars were full, which left me to continue going up and down the stairs, filling my car, to the brim with what ever was left. Bags and boxes, pots and pans, food etc. (Apart form the stuff that had gone off which of course I had to throw out!.)
I left 3 large bags of rubbish and a carrierbag of off food, for TWin2's BF to take to the bins for me, and then I went to Tesco to collect lightbulbs and washingpowder, and on to the new Flat. Biggest of Mooloo was there still, and we all unloaded the car. I managed to have a cup of tea here and there, and a choccy muffin!.
On the way back, I stopped at Homebase, for paint and rollers, and now I am about to go back, and with cleaning materials and paint, return the rooms to some sort of reasonable looking place to return to the authorities for Monday.
I am intending going on to Oxford from there. So I will pack a bag and put it in the car, in a minute.
Am running late, as had said I would be here for 9.30 but here I am still on the computer just drinking my tea, and sitting in my dressing gown!.
So I will sign back on Tomorrow, if I am not worn completely to a frazzle.
DS did my tea for me, even though it was just a chinese for 2, at least he did it while I sat with a heat pad on my aches and pains. (And demolished most of a bottle of wine when I got home!!!)

The car is a godsend, I have clocked up over 600miles since Monday, and am on the second tank full of petrol, £90 been put in the car!!! I get 400miles to a £40 tank.

Twin2's BF is on the Tenancy where she is, and they have a joint IncomeSupport claim. Its true he would not be allowed into the flats, but it may have been possible for him to go back to his mothers, she still has his room and a lot of his stuff. He can stay 3 nights a week with Twin2 if she had gone into the flats, and I did say, he could stop here a few nights with DS if he wanted too. After 6 months they can live with them but hey are not allowed to be on the tenancy agreement.

Pfew I better get moving.

I am having a low day. The move has been hard on me physically and financially. I am struggling today and I could probably fill a book with ranting about things. So best I just hang back.
I have talked with Social Services about the various problems etc, but am basically left feeling lost and so stressed. I am having a rock bottom moment.
Social suggest I go back to Welfare rights or my GP.
Well I wouldnt have to if they hadnt left me to pick up the pieces all the time.
I had to cancel my doctors appointmnt, tomorrow, as everything clashes, trying to get DS from the college/etc etc.
I am between the rock and a hard place, as its costing me in petrol, time, and energy, but to reduce that we need to get DS's bike fixed, and that also cost money. Running around after the twins has cost me money. So I cannot win.
We have just ordered a filter and a cap for the bike on the internet, and hope that they will arrive soon, and DS will try to fit them. If that doesnt work, it will cost us to get the bike collected?
My BF said he might be able to help fix it, but then we have to wait until he can come over.?
Anyway, enough, I am going to go and get some sleep. Tomorrow I will just have to find the bounce back again. But for today, its gone.
