    Thanks Sue, I will see what I can do.
    I have been asked a few times if I have a website! Ha I wouldnt know where to begin. I dont think 3 or 4 bags a week is worth it really! I am really only selling them off to cover the cost of the fabrics so I can keep myself busy, or i would go mad. Staying at home for the last 2 and a half years has driven me mad. Even though its been pretty full with all of the childrens anticts!.
    Oh to have a so called normal day!. Mind you I would probably be board of that as well after a while!!

    Such is life.
    I am trying to catch up on the grandprix I recorded earlier, but I am not getting into it> I used to be that much of a fanatic that I was up when it was on middle of the night or not! how times change.

    Not heard from my BF so presume he is having drinks after thier football match!

    Relationship wise, I will get tough with the family, or DGD and I will be ending up the poor relatives! If you know what I mean.
    My pension plan was at BF/s. I havent paid into it since I was made bankrupt. The payout will be around £205 a year! Ha. I will have to divert money there again somehow. So the kids will have to sort them selves out. I need a pension some how!.
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

    TBH I think you do need to get tough with the twins and your DS, just like you did when you stopped running around after them. It would be a sad and sorry state of affairs if DGD was missing out because you were giving a twin money which she was spending on fags.
    Look at it this way, would the money you've given so far have paid for your back garden to be sorted out so DGD could safely and happily play in it? The twin may want to smoke fags, but DGD needs to be able to play outside.

    Jo4 your PM box is full. so cannot reply to you.

    Errata looking at it like that, its an eye opener. Although I dont think the money lately has been quite that much, but certainly would have gone towards it. However Social Services are supposed to be supporting me on this as its becuase of accommodating thier requests that we moved in the first place.

    I'm glad it helped, and although SS may fund garden clearing, turf laying, gate installing, the twin's fag money would have bought play equipment for the garden.

    To be fair to Mooloo, DGD does manage to play outside. It may not be ideal but she has her toys out on a flat piece of land and we spent a very happy hour out there on Friday afternoon. DGD is very creative and imaginative. She has access to parks and play equipment locally. I do agree though that Mooloo has to put herself and DGD first for once. Its a very difficult situation to be in as she is being pressured by all her children for money.
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

    Sorry I didnt mean to emply that we cannot use the garden at all. Although I would not be able to leave her out there on her own as things are always coming up. Glass especially nearer to the house.
    I agree up by the shed is pretty cleared, if a little bumpy. Its the top end where the metal sticks out by the fence, and the roots by the house that are a problem.
    Re the kids, I am too soft, but I know that i have to stop or they will never learn and bleed me dry! However knowing and acting is a different matter at times.

    I have managed to finish the bag I started before I went away, and have listed it as well. Who knows it may be liked.
    I am too tired to start another one, and i am in a rather fed up mood with my BF, who is going to spend his time off chilling. Here I was worrying about him when I was going to have a break away, as he said he couldnt get time off work, and lo and behold he has two days off this week, and is not aiming to visit or spend any of that time with me. He wants to relax he said.!
    So I am fuming. Not only was my weekend cut short, and I was hardly spoken to, I am obviously surplus to requirements.
    Maybe I will see it differently tomorrow, but today, I am fuming.

    This is the black bag I made earlier, and the moses basket for the new baby.

    Now I must catch up with waking the dead, and relax. Tomorrow is a sewing day! Oh and washing, housework and bedchanging day!.

    Sorry! As I was clearing it it was getting filled up again as people on here and seen my post and were directing me to your Ebay. It has space for a few messages now though!
