Well another disturbed night. Not so much by DGD but by the alarm going off at the Doctors/pharmacy across the road!. It was only on for about 6-8 minutes probably, but I had gone down to investigate and about to ring the police when the key holder arrived. But it meant that Twin1 and I were sitting talking for another 30 mins and I must have laid in bed again the same amount of time!.
I was having a nightmare this morning when DGD woke me up! phew.! I hate nightmares and I get a lot of them.
I had a call from my Ex Husband yesterday, which I thought was unusual, but when I answered he had been in hospital since Sunday. Had a suspected heart attack. He has only just come out last night, and is at his flat resting. But is now on beta blockers. (Rings me to ask about the tablets and the other consequences). he may not be able to drive and that will affect his work. He is a dustman, but he drives the lorries etc. I told him not to worry about it today, and to just rest and then if there are any repeat episodes, or if he is disorientated with the tablets to go to his doctors ASAP. He told me his brother looked after the cat!. I hope that it wasnt bought on by the stress of finding out about the debts on Friday.

Councilling today.
Nothing else planned. But as DGD is not at Nursery, then she will have to stop with her Mum for a couple of hours.
I also need to get a card for my Dad for his birthday on Friday. I have one from the dGD but not one from me.
Thats it from the Mooloo househhold.
Oh, I forgot I did finish the cushion cover for DGD's room, with the applique cupcake (made from a teatowel), and ric rac, onto the base, a piece of old Duvet cover, that I had used to make her outfit from last year. I have another one cut out, and part made, but my arm was too sore to make both.
Maybe get to finish it later.

Afternoon.
Busy day in the end. What with the twins.
Took Twin1 back to her house. The place was not brilliant and DS had only done a limited amount of jobs!. Unless you stand over them nothing gets done. I set the alarm on my mobile for 15 minutes and spent that time gathering, sorting and washing dishes. They were still not all done. She has too many dishes, and I dont think any washing up has been done in over a week! mould. Yuck. I left hers to go and pick up twin2, and ended up washing up there while she filled her washing machine. (Oh I did get twin1 to empty and load her machine too).
Cheque back from EDF and a cheque back this morning from cancelling my Cashplus Card. So I was able to pay £25.29 into my nationwide account when I was in town. Except they had a problem on the account, and in the end I suggested that they just cancel the account. So we stopped the old account and set up a new one! Which should have been done last week. WE will see if I have any paperwork by next week shall we! Anyway my odd cheques for this and that, refunds etc that have gone out of my bank already, have been put in this seperate account since January, and I have £95 now!
Posted the parcel from yesterdays sale. Well I didnt twin2 took it across while I was sorting out the Nationwide.
Had a few self revelations really while talking to the councillor. He has really got me seeing things in a different light. Lifting off the layers so to speak. I have come back with some "homework" to do.
When I went back to drop off twin2, she wanted to go to her sisters. It didnt look like anything else had really been done in my abscence. I did another 15 minutes on the washing up, while I had a cup of tea. Making them do some tidying jobs, and putting the rubbish downstairs in the designated area, and to putting away the dishes, re doing the washing machine and the like. Then came home, via McDonalds, for DGD. Oh dear this is becoming a habit for getting her one when we see her Mum.
I have put my casserole thingy in the pressurecooker. Bunged it all in, potatoes and all.
Had a phone call from SServices. Re the invoices that were missing etc, and that they will now pay me asap. That there is a letter coming to appologies for the delays etc etc!
They hadnt told me that they had moved offices so the paperwork went somewhereelse!
I also had an email asking about which court we are in and also the details of DGD's Dad.
I dont have his wearabouts, last known Nottingham Jail. But when I rang twin1, funnily she had his mobile number???????? So I have passed it on, rather reluctantly. I really dont want to have to liase with a stranger and get DGD having to be disrupted all over for someone who is rather unsavoury. So I hope that SS will suss it out properly. I really dont need any more hassle at all.
Its been a long time and I am just waiting for the day that they rubber stamp my Guardianship.
I feel that then I can move on to a nother phase of my life.
I am very tired today. Its been rather full on and my neck is telling me.
DS managed to get his Jobseekers cheque today, so he has paid me back for the bills that I paid out and the coach fare that he had to Scotland. I am impressed. I just worry that he will be without money again for the rest of the fortnight.

Morning. In some ways I feel like I didnt go to sleep, feel really sluggish and tired. Although I did drop off reasonably quickly, and only got up for my usual trip to the loo twice. Miracles of miracles.
DGD is still asleep, it was nearly 9pm before I got her off to sleep. Perhaps that Cocacola at 4pm with her McD was the reason.
Today I aim to let her go back to Nursery. Will have to wake her soon if thats the case, and get myself into gear.
I am also hoping that DS will lend a hand in collecting an old ottoman that used to be mine, then a friend had, nolonger wants and that I will re aquire for my linen. Leaving the linen box that is a pine box, for DGD's toys. It is currently snuggly underneath the dining table, but would need to be moved if she was to use it regularly, but I may use it in the new look bedroom when its finally sorted out. IF its ever sorted out.
Too many disruptions and veering off of course happens in my world. Is it normal, or is it just me? Nothing seems to go to plan.
Maybe I just have too many ideas in my head that will not happen, as i am not able to actually physically do it myself anymore! THe brain says, hey, you can do this, howmany times have you done it in the past. But the body goes. Woa there! What do you think I am?
Cant win!.
Oh well. Washing machine is on its first load of the day. The bedding from changing my bed is on the airer as its not the weather to hang it out.
I actually washed up the dishes last night, so the kitchen is tidy.
But when DGD goes to nursery I have to just have a quick blast around the front room and get her things back into a corner. Before I get on and attack the rest of the list of jobs that are piling up.
Missing my printer more than I would have thought. So many things I want to do, and they involve either scanning or printing things!.
Right mustnt complain, must just do what I can do.

Mooloo my youngest boys could not drink coke when they were very young. It made them both hyper and one was still going strong nine hours after drinking it in mcd. I had stupidly let him choose what we would do for a special day and he chose mcd's. He could not be reasoned with once he had drunk it.
I did de-sensitise the boys when they were around 7 by adding a little cocacola to lemonade and increasing the amount over time but neither of them drink much at all in the way of fizzy drinks now.

Well I drink coke as a "medicine". It was prescribed in hospital when I had low intracranial pressure and I still drink it now - as Mooloo will know. It definitely helps my pressure issues and can some times prevent me from flaking out:eek:

DGD just had some coke in a bottle that was left on the side! OOps big mistake she is running around quite hyper again. So now its definately the cola as she was perfectly fine before.
I cannot get her to keep her clothes on at the moment!!!:eek:

Spent the morning at mr T doing my shopping. OOps £75 spent. When I normally shop on line and I keep it to £50ish.
I also went a little mad in the charity shop and spent £25 on curtains and cushions. The curtains are destined to be bags, but the cushions were for me. Although I may dye the covers a different colour. I unzipped the covers to wash, and there was another cover underneath that, so I undid that one, and guess what, there was yet another cover under most of them too!.
So 10 cushions, and 29 cushion covers! that means extra zips for me to use on other things as all the zips were still intact. Its all going through the washing at the moment.

Turned out to be a very good deal at the charity shop then! Can't believe someone put so many covers onto a cushion....how strange!

Lazyness! when they wanted new covers they just put them ontop of the old ones.!
The pink are no good, as have those little mould spots and water marks, but the zips are fine.
The green are still wet so I havent looked at them properly yet.
Cream have come up lovely as far as I can see.
Will see what I will do with them later. I have several cream cushions on my sofa at the moment, but they are all a bit past thier sell by date. I may colour them to match my rather zany front room bright oranges and purples.

Well I was in bed just after 8 oclock. At the same time as DGD really. I slept reasonably well, not waking until 1.30am . Although then I was not properly asleep for a while, I did doze, and must have gone off just around 3am. DGD woke me at 6.30 this morning. So it was just as well I had gone early!.
We dont have a light in the bathroom at the moment. The pull switch has broken so we are awaiting the electrician but housing do not deem it as urgent so I have to wait until Monday.
Have an argos delivery monday as well, so its a stay at home day then.
Tuesday afternoon I have to collect a bag of fabric/damaged jeans from the Charity shop, I am paying them for a bag, that would normally go to recycling. Pay them £6.50 for the bag. But I should be able to make more handbags etc from them, and hopefully I will get more fabric for my money then I would buying perfect stuff. The charity doesnt loose out, and they will get anything I cannot use re-donated.
There is a sale on at the factory up the road, Bronnley, so I may go u there later we will see.
Having a slow start. Been doing jigsaws with DGD and going through my making magazine that arrived in the post this morning. Not sure how many more issues I will get as I cancelled all my subscriptions. So not many I dont think now.
Time for my shower. Dora the Explorer entertaining madam I hope.
