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

gizmo111

So sorry to hear about Twin2 Mooloo, she has such a lot to cope with just dealing with losing her boys and now the problems with her OH. Suicidal thoughts really are worrying and I don't know what to suggest other than trying to get her some form of counselling maybe? Didn't Gizmo say that she would be offered some?

yes she should - but don't forget we have cameron holding the purse strings now and things seem to change not just daily but hourly at present I feel like I'm nothing more than glorified admin,:mad: resources and cutbacks limit what I can do for families and it all seems a little pointless at the moment. Anyhow I've decided to retrain into the legal field to represent families, I'm sure my skills will be better used in public law and I can be true to the reasons I wanted to go into social work originally.

I can't remember how old twin2 is - but these are an excellent - free but busy national organisation for under 25's http://www.findcounsellingservices.co.uk/city-Croydon/1173840-counselling-Off-The-Record-Youth-Counselling.html

haven't checked out the bags yet - but will do, been a little busy car hunting - my daughter (17) passed her driving test and has managed since leaving school to save up nearly £3k for car and ins - very MSE for a teenager with expensive handbag tastes!

Take Care All

Thanks all.
Gizmo I am sure you will do well in the law side of things. Will that be a lot of study and a reduced income though?
I wish I was well enough, as I would be fighting my childrens corners louder, but I dont have the energy. Thats why I am putting my sewing on the agenda. To side track me.
If I had not taken the plunge and got Molly's daughter to help me with the pictures. I will have to find my camera, and learn the skills.

I dont have to do flowery. I have masses of fabrics in every colour probably, if I look hard enough. I just put the ones with flowers on as Cath Kidston is popular. I will have a good look around tomorrow and see what I can do next. I finished another shopper really, that I had started in the last house, and unearthed yesterday. Then I had a little bit of fun and trimmed a guest towel/hand towel with fabric and lace.
I would have done another one, but there wasnt quite enough of the lace!

I have been watchng the documentary about the people in Africa. It horrifies me, to think that there is such abject poverty so close to a place that I had such a wonderful child hood in.!

I have not heard any more from Twin2, I just hope that she has calmed down tonight, and that she makes it to the doctors appointment tomorrow. Her BF was supposed to be making sure she went for me, but now I am not sure if he is leaving tonight, as his mother was going to come and get him.
If she does that will bring even more problems for us, as Twin2 will be without a washingmachine, TV, telephone, mobile phone,( He is taking it back), and the DVD, etc etc etc . all the electrical stuff is his.

But for tonight, i cannot go there. I am not going to be able to help her financially, at the moment. I am stretched as far as i can be.
I would need to be mass producing bags to make any difference and my body will not take that. Its already shouting at me, to be careful.

I dont know how to sort out the profile, but I will have a look. Thanks Sue. (but it wll wait until another day, as I am off to bed now.).

Well I didnt sleep as well as I would have liked, but its not surprising.
I am very stiff today. So I sat on a hard chair at the dining table sewing for too long yesterday!.
DGD is just up, so my morning peace is shattered.
No news over night about twin2. Lets hope it was just an emotional blip.

I want to ask everyone to send a few good wishes to Molly41 as she has to go in to hospital for a blood transfusion today. ITs been a complete farce so far with several wasted trips, and some appauling treatment, so I am praying that this time they get it right for her, and her opinion of the hospital can change! not to mention her health improve with a transfussion. So if anyone would like to join me in wishing her better soon, I am sure Molly would appreciate it.

Twin1 has the dentist so our morning Routine has gone out of the window, and looking out of our window it looks like I can hang out the washing I did yesterday afternoon.!

Afternoon, well I am going to be going to see my BF this evening. Remove myself from the nuclear fall out zone of the twins!.
DS is at twin2's at the moment. Her BF is leaving today, along with all the electrical items etc that were his. Including the washingmachine, although he has no need for it, and I did offer to buy it.
So well will have to look out for a second hand one for her, and mean while it looks like I will be doing even more washing.

My 3rd Bag has sold today! and I have an enquiry for a commission bag! I am so pleased.
Now I have another 9 days before I have to worry about if something has sold or not! Which will stop me from hovering on the site, and then spending on things as I am watching! ah hm, not good. Spent more than I earnt.! Mind you I now have masses of ideas, fabric accessories to enhance the bags, etc that I make and will hope that I will get feedback and possibly more orders over time.

I did have some time out in the garden earlier, and I am glad I did as its clouded over now.
Washing on the line, so I hope it doesnt rain yet.
Twin2 is not going to meet up as she is not feeling too good after being at the dentist. DGD has forgotten about it now, but was a little miffed earlier.
I better think about packaging up the bag, and getting it ready for the post.

Thankyou for thinking of me. Unfortunately my transfusion has been postponed due to some unforeseen antibodies lurking in my system. It will happen next week now! Hugs x

Oh that's rotten Molly, hope it goes to plan soon. Make sure you are taking it easy this week. x

Best wishes Molly. I'm thinking of you! x

Mooloo, don't forget to check out eBay for all of the electrical items needed. You can do a local search and see what it brings up. x

You are also in my thoughts Molly - sending you and Mooloo hugs xx

Also Mooloo don't forget your local Freecycle group. You can post wanted ads as well which may be useful.

Mooloo, I hope you have a rest and get pampered this weekend. And I think there may be 2 commissions now
