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

I know we have seen and heard about Turkey Saddles before but it brought a smile to my face and I was wondering what size jockey they needed :rotfl:

Yay to an extra visit from BF, maybe you ought to borrow the wallet more often if that is the result
To lack of response to your calls, I wonder how quickly they would move if any of it had caused an accident (God forbid)

Yes it was here you heard about Turkey saddles first.!
I have made some designer ones!.
Eager Elephants turkeys will be the best dressed turkeys around!.
I shall get the camera out and take a few pictures when I finish the two remaining ones.
I have also managed to wash some purple fabric that I want to make a bag with, and have been asked about the walking sticks bags from someone on the disability board. So I have a few things up my sleeve to start off with.
As well as the curtains I want to make for this house. I have been here long enough now, and its about time I stamped my mark on the place a bit more.
Bit of shabby chic as they call country cottage these days.
For the bedroom curtains anyway. My lounge is more modern fabrics, with oranges and purples and striped carpet. Nice and bright to keep me uplifted!.

HTH - if you have been told by neighbours that previous tenants (or their relatives) sorted out drugs in the garden for onward sale, and you have already found a significant number of razor blades in one spot in the garden, please phone Environmental Health as a matter of great urgency
.
I know Lambeth isn't your council, but here's info on what Lambeth council environmental health do about drug detritus. They take it very seriously indeed, I'm sure your council will too.

Hi Mooloo

I really don't understand why the HA didn't get this sorted before you moved in! I work for a private cleaning company and we have a mobile team, 'the lads' who are probably in their 60's who are a bit like the life of grime people you see on the telly, a lot of their work is for localHA and SW and apart from clearing places like Mr Tregus (does anyone remember him? our lads sort this out all the time!) they do a lot of clearing up after drug dens.

We are always contacted by either the HA/local council or the SW, not the new occupants!!!!! so keep on badgering them, this is something that should have been sorted out before you moved in.

Wishing you all the best, as always xx

I think as it was the winter and the place was running behind the times, they wanted to get us in, then they were supposed to sort it out in January, but of course we had the bad weather, snow etc. But thats still no excuse as I did call them in again to do it in Feb or March, not sure without going back through all my writing in here.
I shall be shouting about it all again tomorrow.
I shall forward my pictures to the SW and to the housing and everyone else I can think off.!
This evening I am feeling a bit rough. Bad headache.
Think I will be going up to bed very very soon.

Mooloo I was NOT criticising you-I was pointing out that what selfish teenagers think is often so very far from what really happened! I never asked you to justify yourself at all and neither should you ever feel you need to, so I'm sorry if that's how you or other's interpreted what I wrote-I am trying to give another perspective:
my 15 year old has, many times over the years, said he doesn't mind the allowances he has had to make for his younger brother who is Autistic. Whenever I have apologised about things being spoilt or cancelled due to his brother, he has said it doesn't matter. Yet he is now in counselling because no matter what he said to me, it DID matter to him, and I am thankful that he has accepted he needed someone outside the family to talk to about stuff, as Lord knows he was never going to talk to me about it.
I know my son has a had a raw deal due to circumstances pretty much beyond my control. Mooloo has also had many circumstances outside her control and has admitted to problems with her son.So please don't any of you think I am speaking from some lofty position of superiority, I am merely giving another perspective from someone else whose own life has been turned upside down from having a child with special needs.

and the day after that, and every day following until it's sorted. Pity you didn't find a couple of needles and a rubber strap with the razor blades.

I think that I found a few comments hard to take, but also I know that I put my life on here, so thats what has to be expected. Re my son, I suppose you are right in some ways, but I do feel that sometimes I do have to re itterate where I am coming from as obviously not everyone has been onboard with the roughs seas of the mooloo threads since the beginnings. I suppose I feel that as non of my family are on here to put thier case, I also feel I need to remind people that things are not always as black and white as they seam to be.
I didnt think that anyone was having a go at me personally. I know that it was exasperation at the family. So please dont worry yourself about it.
Some days I am a tough cookie, and its water off a ducks back, but other days I am a bit of a wreck and feel I am caving in under the weight.!

Molly is a little unwell this evening and so we have postponed our day at the spa until next week. So tomorrow I can get some more sewing done, if I feel a bit better myself.
Now I am going to be getting ready for bed and get some sleep.
Night all.

Dazi

You forward those pictures to anyone and everyone! Hope it gets sorted for you and hope you feel better tomorrow xxx

I hope you and Molly are feeling better soon and at least yous have your spa day to look forward to next week. I hope your sewing goes well tomorrow because it seems like you have a lot of requests for your work and because you seem to enjoy it!
