Mooloo's New Home, New Year and New Start part 3

*Robin*

Will be thinking of you today at your medical, Mooloo; hope all goes the way you need it to..

Errata

Please keep leaning on your solicitor like a 50 storey building! Phone them every day if need be until they get their backside in gear. You need to irritate them so much they'll do something to lessen the irritation. Please don't let it slip - you need to be the squeaky wheel that gets the most oil.
Best wishes to you for today.

MatyMoo

Agree with Errata, best way to get anyone to do something is to become an itch that they want to get rid of.

Make sure you take your walking stick today and try not to be a big brave soldier - the medical people need to see quite how bad things are much as you would like to show how capable and independent you are!

Good luck Mooloo. I hope the review goes in your favour *crosses everything*

Funnily I am already having a bit of a bad day? It took all my efforts to get dressed and DGD to Nursery. One of the Mums said I looked a bit grey today. She knows me well enough, so even if I was trying to hide it, its showing. Having said that, the ATOS rep wouldnt know what I normally look like. Feel a bit short of breathe at the moment. Just watching Helecopter Hero's, having a cup of tea and some toast.
All I want to do is go back to sleep! But I really need to do some jobs around the home if I possibly can, and had aimed for some sewing projects. Looking like I may have to at least forego the latter, if not the former as well.!

Well what a day!
I had a quiet morning at home. Then Biggest of Mooloo took me to my ATOS assessment. It was handled by a Nurse. She was nice enough. Asked all the questions that I was expecting, and tested my reflexes and the amount of movement in my arms/legs. Asked about being able to move my head and I replied NO. Biggest helped me answer the questions, and helped where i had gone a bit vague. As is some of my problems. I cant always think straight. Immediately anyway.
As I was/am having a bad day, it was not a bad thing really as all my questions/answers were based on how I was feeling today!.
I was in there for about 35 to 40 minutes.
We will await the DWP's replies I suppose.
When we came home Biggest picked up twin1, and she took over with DGD for me. I went straight to bed, tableted up. Which was lucky in a strange way.
At 9.45 twin1 came up to me in the bedroom in a right state. She had a phone call telling her that her new flat had been targeted and the windows smashed in!. What a calamity. So I had to ring dear old Molly and get her and her daughter to stay with DGD as twin1 and I went to the scene of the crime, so to speak. I rang DS who went over to make sure that the place was not still under any threat as we drove over. He rang the police but they said that Twin1 had to report the damage. So when we got there we had to ring the police. That was a rigmarole and loads of strange questions and why do they need to know what colour/ethenicity twin1 is? Anyway then we had to ring the housing association emergency line, who then contacted another firm who then rang us back, and they will come out to board up the windows. in 2 to 3 hours!. I had to leave twin1 and come home so that Molly and her daughter could go home.
DS and the neighbour are staying with twin1 until the glazers have been. Poor twin1. She hasnt even properly moved in and there is trouble.
On the way their we were stopped as we drove down the road, unluckily for me, by the family from hell. They were drunk which was not a help. They were fawningly nice to twin1 and then when they clocked it was me driving the father got agressive and started to tell me something about throwing DS out becuase I had told everyone I wanted him out. etc. Luckily his wife had some sense and stopped him. But it was a hairy moment. I didnt need thier input. The rumours are that the people who attacked the flat were to do with a Rival family as Twin1 and DS associate with them. So its a complete farce and something that I would expect to see on Eastenders or something like that. (not that i watch it to know what happens) But what can I do.?
How many times have I told my kids that mixing with the family from hell will only bring trouble to thier door? Will they ever learn? The problem now is that the family from hell were the ones to contact twin1 to tell her the damage was done. So now they will poke thier noses in and pretend to be helpful etc. If twin1 doesnt respond then we will probably see them turn on the kids again. So I do not think twin1 is in any win/win situation what ever she does.
Why? Why are they such tiny minded people? Why cannot the vunerable like my twins be protected in society. Why wont the police come out and investigate? I really am not so sure as to what is going to happen next.
I am obviously too wond up to go to sleep at the moment. Dispite the pain in my neck/back/ and arm I am not able to rest yet.

I really wish that we had not come back from Derbyshire when I lost the pub. I wish to god we had stayed up there. We didnt have this kind of trouble up there. But we didnt we came back down south.
I am so glad that I do not live in towcester anymore. Dispite having to be a bit too far away to help the kids immediately.

I thank god, that Molly and her daughter were able to come and sit with DGD, I would not have liked to have had to get her out of bed and to witness all the drama of the night.
Molly has really shown to be the best, and most true friend I think that i have ever had.
Dispite all her ills she still supports me, and rarely asks me for anything. Except a cuppa and a chat!.
Right I think I will have to have a go at reading as typing is not helping my arm or the neck.
Night all.

(Dispite sometimes wanting to turn back the clock and walk away-when she is being unrually and screaming her head off in a tantrum in the middle of the street etc!! But what parent isnt the same in those situations!).

When my DS was a baby, and had severe reflux, he screamed non-stop for 4 days and nights. My mother who, like you, has 4 children, said, "sometimes, being a good mother means not throwing the baby out of the window".

That made me feel a lot better (-:

I like that one!
DGS1 was a troublesome one with Reflux etc, and we had a lot of sleepless nights. Mum was lucky though, when she was too tired it was good old Granny that took over and got Baby to sleep!.
Calming influences. There was a lot to be said about sharing with the generations, like the days of old!.
Funnily last night, I had said to twin1 that sometimes I wish they had not decided to leave home, and we would have all still been in the big house, and the boys etc would all still be home. But ofcourse we dont know that.

I am tired after lastnights escapades, and I worry about the next few weeks incase of repurcusions, and finding out what the story is in the back ground and to why the flat was targeted. Not a good thing for the new neighbours to have to deal with either. The last thing that anyone needs.
I also do not want to have confrontations from the family from hell as its just too stressful. The man is a rather larger then life kind of chap, booming voice, etc and I was so glad that I was behind the steering wheel of the car. If the other lad hadnt been hanging onto the window of the car, I may have been tempted to put my foot down and drive away.!.

What will today bring? Who knows?

So sorry to hear the trauma's of last night, a very stressful time for you and Twin1.

As you say Molly is a good friend to step in to the breach when needed, he daughter too. :T:T:T

I hope you all have a quieter day.

The bones are playing up, the wet and the cold wind I suppose isnt helping. Had to use the stick today. (and yesterday).
I am tired now that i have stopped.
I went to one of the Mum's from school's houses and only just got back. 3 cups of tea, and 2 1/2 nattering! oops.
But it made a lovely change, and I think it was good to talk.

My Fruit and Veg box has arrived today, along with my milk and eggs. Havent looked in it yet as they just arrived as i got home.
But there was a Free bottle of Olive oil with it too.! And as this week is my 4th Box it was a free one. (well it was the 5th but the hiccup was sorted). Good bargains then all the organic stuff good for DGD and for me of course.
I think that i may go and have a little sleep now, before I have to take on DGD for the rest of the afternoon.
Not heard from the twins or DS so I pressume all is quiet on the western front.! Fingers crossed. I am not sure I am up to taking much more!. Trauma after trauma its like a story in a book!!
