Here is hoping that things will improve for you now Molly!
Dont over doo things though.
I am off to see the boys this morning. Dont have to pick up Twin2 as she is in town. So I will see if there is a more direct route from here. Off to do a google map!

Was so pleased that Dad's awning sold immediately for him. And for me, as he said I can keep the money! Thats money in my holiday fund then!.

Glad you managed to get sorted out Molly - my best wishes for your continued good health

Well I am back from seeing my boys. They are both fit, well and seem quite contented. We managed to get a few photos on my mobile, and a bit of video when all three grandchildren were playing together.
The Mum was there, thank goodness. But she is still back off to Northampton instead of coming home.
I am worried but its not under my control.
I have been to see my parents and picked up the picture of a Westie that mum was printing on to fabric for me.
so I have an experimental piece of fabric to incorporate into a bag.
My magnetic clasps have arrived.
My mini keyring clips have also arrived.
The new improved versions of bags will be just around the corner.

Well maybe in a few days or so, depending on my health etc etc.(and any problems the world has to throw at me!).

The sun is trying galantly to shine here, and I would like to see if I can get DGD out into the garden for a bit of a run around. Up and down the garden a bit. Being careful of the debris around of course.
I have another gardening firm coming to quote me tomorrow.
Hopefully we can get it sorted, and that the SS will indeed help with it.

Morning,
I managed to spend about half an hour or so trying to weed the front garden. DGD helped me.
Twin2 didnt go back home, and now she thinks that dispite being on the Implant she may be pregnant! I fear that if she is we will not be allowed to keep it. I also do not want to go through it all again with her. I dont think I could.! I hope she is mistaken, and it is her grief and anxiety making things upset the balance.
Twin1 is at the dentist this morning, so contact with DGD is cancelled. Least it means we do not have to rush around this morning.
Another gardener is coming to quote for the back garden today.
I have a few bags to finish that I managed to cut out earlier, and I hope that I can see why my machine is messing its tension and stitches about. Look at the obvious first. Needle, threads and dials.! I hate it when I loose the stitching seemingly without anything changing!

DS didnt go to college yesterday. So there will be repurcutions. Thats at least 2 out of 3 days this week that he hasnt gone. Twin1 dropped him in it, by mistake. mentioning he had stopped over at hers in the end, and gone to the racecourse/college. She forgot he was supposed to be at college, and slipped in Race course and corrected it. Then I said actually he went to the racecourse, and its oK as I know he wasnt at the college as he turned his phone off when I rang him. (Back ground noise would have given him away!). and if there is a race meeting he disappears there as he gets Paid for working the fences.
I am disappointed in him. He is putting a few quid infront of a career in the future. Not good. But he looses the EMA payments as he doesnt go to college? Do not understand him at all!.
Time to get on.
Here is hoping that we have a better day today.

Thanks, if the local authority signs up to this charter it may help future families/foster carers for sure.
There is such a lot of restrictions on what we can do, we even had to draw up a family safety agreement, for care. EG that we would not play tickle games, or share beds or have be seen naked etc etc. That as soon as DGD can bath her self I have to stop going in the bathroom etc etc. Its a minefield. No sleepovers is true.
Not just for her, but for the rest of the family!. DS is hardly home becuase of this rule.
As a normal family we used to have sleep overs lots of times. My house used to be full of kids coming and going when my lot were young. (mind you I wouldnt want that exactly now, at my age!).:rotfl::D

Just what we need - some pompous t*** rubber stamping more pointless guidelines! To retain and recruit more foster carers the LA's need to pay them a decent wage and reduce the amount of red tape and hoops they have to jump through.

Twin2 didnt go back home, and now she thinks that dispite being on the Implant she may be pregnant! I fear that if she is we will not be allowed to keep it. I also do not want to go through it all again with her. I dont think I could.! I hope she is mistaken, and it is her grief and anxiety making things upset the balance

Oh I sincerely hope not - she won't be able to keep it, it will be joined onto current proceedings. Poor girl (and you) has enough to cope with coming to terms with losing the boys without this as well. Get a test asap - they're abut £3 in Tesco.

Sleepovers shouldn't be a problem with under 18's. if DGD is invited to one then the LA can do a quick check on the family and agree to it. going for tea at other childrens houses etc is usually at discretion of carer - use your own judgement, bathing one is a bit weird but LA can still impose restrictions on top of the regs via partnership agreements - with family placements they usually revolve around contact.

Thanks Gizmo.
I will do my best to get twin2 sorted out soon as possible. I fear the worst. But hope for the best. There is no way I can take on the trials of this all over again! ITs a disaster if she is.
It will also mean a considerable amount of soul searching, if she is. As I am usually anti terminations, due to my religious believes. However this is the real world, and this is a matter that I am not sure I can go through. I am praying that she is just mistaken due to her anxiety etc etc.
As she is still in town with her friend and not anywhere near me, I am unable to act today which is very frustrating.

Awaiting a visit from Molly, if she is well enough.
Then I have to collect a very old jacket for specialist repair, cleaning and refurbishing if necessary. Old man I used to work with in the racing world, when I was 17. Wants me to do it, doesnt trust the drycleaners etc to get it right! Big responsibility there as it is a racing jacket that means his life in the racing world, when it was the golden age of racing!.
