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

SingleSue

I started reading on the last thread...read the last few pages and then went back to the start of the thread and read....and read...and read. Think it took me about 3 days off and on in between doing the boys stuff.

I have got the general gist of what went on on the prior thread/s from comments on the last thread, so my advice is to keep reading and it all becomes clear.

Mooloo - I agree about kids becoming limpits when you don't feel the best, my joints are agonising today, my own fault as I stopped taking some of my tablets in a fit of childish mood after a rheumatology appointment and youngest will not leave me alone. It was also not helped by having to take youngest to see the nurse as his asthma has been through a bad patch the last week, so no time to ease the pain in bed either.

And good news on biggest! I would have loved a little girl but it was not to be and now it is too late.....well, it was too late 10 years ago this October as I had a hysterectomy.

Hope things get sorted soon with the garden etc.

Awww Mooloo, that is so sweet of you to help Molly out. Molly I hope that you are on the mend. Maybe when Mooloo gets the garden sorted, come spring/summer you'll both be sipping Pims in the garden with your home grown fruit from the trees! x

i think it may take a while. My garden is rather a "wasteland" at the moment. more likely to be growing woodlice then fruits. But time will turn us around, if I can get the help, and or am able to work in the garden this spring.
But I am hoping that both Molly, and Biggest of Mooloo will enjoy some time in the garden. Biggest has 17 weeks till maternity leave.
So there is a target to get a seating area anyway.

Choccymoose, yes I remember you. Hope the parents are well. Portugal is also in some financial crisis at the moment too!
I still hope to get back out there if not this year, then next. I love it.
Molly has been a blessing, and she knows that what I post on here, is exactly how things are.

Padstow,
Welcome to the world of Mooloo then. I think if you go to the first page of the last thread etc there is a link. This is only the 3rd thread, so only 3 years worth of reading to catch up on!!
No seriously you dont have to torture yourself with it all.

There has been some really unfortunate postings over the last day, since your arrival, but it appears several of them have now been removed by the board. Which is a relief.

I am afraid that this is all true. But no I havent been going as long as Coronation street. I am not 50 till July!!

Single Sue, I had a hysterectomy in Jan 2006, and after a dodgy few months havent looked back. But here i am with a little girl all over again!! Life has some funny/odd twists and turns in it.

I am running so late, My watch stopped! Eek, and DGD is protesting once again about going to Nursery. Today I hope will be her last day at the old one, and next week we start at the one closer to home.
My car has to go to the garage so I must get a move on!

Hugs to all,
I am feeling so much better after a reasonable nights sleep.
Least have eaten some breakfast now, so thanks for all the well wishes they have worked. Now its time for my medication to kick back in! Being sick sent it all haywire.

MatyMoo

Glad you had a reasonable night and yay to feeling better and managing breakfast :T

Hope DGD doesn't kick up too much, I am sure she will be OK once she is actually at nursery

Hi Mooloo, I dont post very often but read your posts every day usually when I get back from work ( I work nights ) before going to bed. Was saddened to se several negative comments over the last few days, just want to say keep up the good work and carry on!:j

*Robin*

Hi Mooloo, another lurker here, brought out of the woodwork by the recent rantings of a very bitter troll. I do hope it's bile has not upset you too much; some people just are not worth bothering with!

Hope you, and Molly too, have a good day today (keeping fingers crossed that the garage bill is not too horrendous!). And Very Best Wishes that your new home will be a happy one.

I see that some of the remarks and replies have now been removed.
Hurray. Lets get on with a normal happy home!

I had a bit of trouble getting DGD into the nursery, but she was soon beginning to be persuaded to calm down by the parent of another child and the staff. Phew.
I just made it to the garage appointment on time.
The car is now fixed and I am £205 lighter. Though I was expecting it to be another £50 (they forgot to charge me for the emissions test last week I see now!), but I didnt notice that at the time.
I have tried to ask the other garage to refund me some of the costs, but they are adamnant that they didnt do the damage, and they will not pay anything towards the costs. Why am I not surprised.?
My son didnt come home last night, and didnt go to college today.
He is 18 today. I would have prefered him to have been here but he chose to ignore my contact.
I rang his friend this morning, who said he was asleep and he would get him to ring me. 3 hours later he hadnt.
I went to pay my rent and to talk to housing about the state of the garden, safety issues etc and their office is near to the flats that DS is staying.
I called around with his card.
I couldnt stop as the woman has a small child and I didnt want to give them the bug. It was a mess as well. DS hardly said much. I did say I would have liked to have taken him out and bought him a drink, but today I am not well enough. After the sickness yesterday the stomach cramps are high. presume to do with the medications and lack of food. The meds attack the stomach at the best of times, never mind after an upset!!
Anyway, he was back inside in a moment. Muttering he was thinking of coming home tomorrow. We will see.
He is a disappointment, and I do feel that I have let him down and that is the reason why. Anyway enough or I will get upset again. I already walked away with tears in my eyes.
I have come home to a council letter, saying about my benefits. I am not allowed my rent overlap as I didnt actually move in here the day of the tenancy start.!! So because the Housing delayed my start, and the removal men couldnt fit me in, they are not prepared to pay duel benefit. So that has set me back just short of £200. Whats new. I seem to always fall through the gaps when it comes to allowances and entitlements. !

Right onwards and upwards. I feel pretty delecate, but at least I have a couple of more hours to myself before I have to do anything. I may go for a sleep in a bit. See how I go.

As DGD is so articulate is she able to tell you why she doesn't want to go to that Nursery?

She just said that she wants to be with me. (Getting a bit clingy) and the monsters.!
I have also noticed that if she doesnt get her own way, she says
"My dolly said i can have it, (or do it),! My dolly is quite strange as she hardly ever plays with a dolly at all! Cars are more up her street!

I wonder if she has any associations with being taken off her mummy so now fears suddenly losing you but can't articualte that...you would think the SS would work with you on this type of thing to work on her emotional security...I wonder if there are any child like books you could read with her that have a story based around change/loss?

Possibly.
I asked the SW this very question at the last LAC review. They said they would sort something out for me. As it happens tomorrow the Fostering SW is coming, and in the evening DGD's SW is coming. So I will bring the subject up again.
The Fostering SW wants me to do some of the courses, but they are at 7pm-9pm at night at the other side of the County! Not something that i can commit too. Not becuase I cannot get a babysitter, but becuase I am too sore at that time of the day to be going out and about!.

I am worried about DGD and I will definitely talk to them tomorrow.
I do not want a normally articulate little girl to have problems.
She is so astute that it worries me at times.
Her conversation is often surprising and her use of vocabulary is amazing. She uses large words and in the correct context as well!
I will definitely have my work cut out for me in the following years, with her. (I see me having to study what ever she studies just to be able to keep up with her.! I hope she doesnt choose Maths, as I hate it!!).
