    Happy New year everyone of us!

    BF has not long gone, we had a lazy day with films on the TV. DGD played well with her toys in her room first thing, and then most of the day. She played around, bit of horse play with BF, and they had a good laugh. I watched on, thinking how both of them are really fond of each other, but neither will admit it! Sharing Granny is difficult!
    I havent thought of a new name for a new thread yet! Which is a bit late, as i suppose I should have been starting it now.
    But you will just have to forgive me, while I use this one today.
    We were up until well after 2am watching the newyear in, and opened a bottle of champagne and some orange juice, so we had to finish it.:D:T
    Tomorrow heralds the start of getting back to normal.

    I put in an application for the EDF becuase when I rang up the DWP about the ESA I was originally told that I qualified for both types but I got more money for the contributions based then I would for the Income based? So we will see if that annomoly will work. However then I realised that I do not get Child Benefit for DGD and so I fear that I will also loose on those grounds as well.
    Maybe in the new year when the Guardianship is sorted out, we will see what happens. But as is the way, 99% of the time, I tend to fall through the net for all of the benefits etc. I am usually just out of the criteria!! Has happened all my life.

    But I will not worry. What will be will be I suppose. (although dont remind me I said that when i feel at the bottom of the heap again!).

    Ok so whats the next stage of the Mooloo saga? The finances will continue to be topsy turvy, as the situation changes, on paper anyway. So I will still need to look for the frugality. Keep out of debt, and get me through another year, with caring for DGD and dealing with the offspring, who although long since flown the nest are determind to pull me in every which way.:eek:

    So I suppose I should stay on the Relationships board. I am after all not on the debt free diaries.
    Then what shall I call it? Maybe Mooloo's trials and tribulations continued part 4.?
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.
