MOOLOO'S continuing saga Part 4

Savvy_sewing

Right I have managed to make a few hearts this evening, making roses out of lace was a bit difficult, and time consuming. DGD kept coming in, and wanting to see what we were upto.
Anyway I am going to go and get a horlicks or something and see if I can relax and get some sleep tonight.

Well its been another busy day. House full of people so time goes by fast.
Twin1 helped with bringing down the decorations, and washed up her mess in the kitchen from cooking last night. I took DGD to Nursery.
Molly came to see me, we had a cuppa and a quick chat, and then Biggest of Mooloo's came with the Baby. She has hurt her neck/arm, and has said that she can now sympathise with me much more, as she is getting a taste of what I have to deal with on a daily basis!.
The Social Services have finally been pinned down to an amount for the Wardrobe for DGD!!!! Yipee. Not alot but enough if i am careful.
Yesterdays SW sent me a copy of the form she is submitting to the fostering panel. I spent all afternoon sorting that out, and then I have gone and lost the amended file in the complexities of my laptop. I am not very good at the new Word documents, etc as I have 2007, or open office.
Biggest and I tackled the changing of the bed together, and then it was time for me to collect DGD.
We had lunch, although Biggest didnt have any.
Twin1 was collected by one of her friends later, around. 2ish.
Molly had to pop back again around 1ish for a while, before going else where, so we had a look at the wardrobes I can get, at the Ikea book, and disgussed the changes we are planning for the bedroom, and twin1 got an extra play with DGD. So she was happy.
I have taken since around 2pm till now to read and sort the 38 pages of the social services document.
The SW is coming back at 12.30 on Monday now to go through it all with me, before I sign it. As I told her there were a few faults, including the spelling of the family surname! which really annoys me, even though I am not the barer of this name anymore.
Anyway thats my Monday changed again now.
When will I ever actually manage to get serious about using the time DGD is at Nursery to do my craft work? Oh well, at least Molly does some sewing etc and can join me in the work room when she pops over!.
I didnt sleep brilliantly, but much better then the night before, as I was able to go back to sleep after I had woken up, and even managed a stretch of around 3 hours in the early hours of the morning.
The weather is really bad here, but not so bad as in other parts of the country no doubt. However it has taken the felt of of the roof of my shed, and ripped my clothes airer cover completely.
More expense.
I realised this morning that i had made an error in my bank calculations so I am nearly £100 down on what I thought i had. Oh well, I am not due to spend anything now except on daily essentials, loo rolls, milk etc. So I think I will be fine, as my next money will go in on Monday.
DS has had a tattoo done! Not thrilled about it, but boys/men will be men and I cannot live his life for him. He rang me to moan about being locked out of the flat, as twin1 was out shopping, so all I said was that I would ring her and tell her. Although she was not answering so I left her a text message.
Stupid things like pulling me into thier arguements really are annoying me. I keep telling them what the heck do they expect me to do about it.?
Twin 1 was due her benefits today. Twin2 rang demanding £20 that she had borrowed, DS wanted £30 that she had borrowed. She owed me £10 for electric, and £10 to her sister she owed money too as well, (and will still owe £15 too).
It looks like she is going to be on starvation rations again next week too. I beleive that Brackely now have a foodparcel/food bank or what ever it is called, but I dont know about Towcester. I shall have to find out. Ready for the demands of the future!!
I am tired and sore. My back went while Molly was here, such a huge shift of the joints that everyone heard it.! I have a heat pad on it as I write.
My arm is now in great complaint mode, so I am going to stop. Bar cooking dinner, I am not going to do much. DGD can get in and out of the bath on her own now, so running it and getting her to bed is much easier then when she was little. Thankgod I have leavers for taps!
My parents got back from thier christmas break yesterday, so I am hoping to go and see them tomorrow, after I have taken DS by the ear to the council to sort out the housing benefit that Twin1 is loosing since he is living with her. As he keeps saying he has been there and not been seen 3 times. I siad I will go and we will stay until they do see to it!!! They will not fob me off!.
Nobody will fob me off anymore.! Sick of it.
Reading the paperwork for the social today made me realise that dispite complaining officially about the SS system etc nobody has even replied to recieving it. So thats bad. Its about time they responded to me.

One thought has occurred to me Mooloo - have the twins had their contraceptive implants renewed?????

Oh Yes they are both covered.!:D Thank goodness.

Well I was very tired last night, which is not surprising, so I didnt do any sewing in the end. So there goes my plans to make something everyday! Oh well try again today.
I am on an easier day today. Take DGD to see her mum this morning, and then dragging DS to the council, and visiting my parents. Then I hope that I will get a couple of hours in the sewing room this afternoon.
BF has decided to come to see me this weekend. Which is a relief, it saves me driving over there, and taking everything that DGD and I would need for the weekend.
I have a visitor coming over too meet us tomorrow, one of our own, looking foreward to that, and if Molly is able she is coming across to join us.
Maybe BF will put the felt back on the shed for me, if he can retrieve it from next door! I did ask but so far its not been returned. But I dont know what state it will be in anyway.!
Right time to have a quick catch up with the threads that I am subscribed too, and then shower and dress etc. DGD is playing with all the cushions in the front room, den building again. I am sure she should have been a boy. She is climbing all over the place.! Little monkey, in both terms of the word!.
The worst part of it, is that she is jiggling my chair and that really hurts my neck.
I didnt wear my neck collar in bed last night. To see if that helped me actually get some sleep, and so my neck is worse than normal this morning. I have taken my meds of course, so hopefully that will kick in soon.
looks like a slightly brighter start to the day today. Good.

Awwww fab! You're meeting another member of the board! Wish I lived a bit closer, but you're about 3 hours away from me.

MatyMoo

Ooops, wondered why you hadn't been coming up on my subscribed threads!

Sounds like a busy week for you.

Morning,
Looking forward to todays meeting up.
As usual the day didnt pan out as I had expected, and I didnt get to sew. I did get to start to do some brainstorming in the evening, while I was waiting for DGD to get to sleep which is not exactly as I had planned but was quite eye opening to me.
As usual the amount of time that I have is always pulled in every direction but where I want or plan to use it.
Energy levels are just not very good. Which is not helping me.
I took DGD to see her Mum, I did go and see my parents, but I saw them before I took DS to the council, as he was saying goodbye to his girlfriend who is back to College in Scotland. He has had a tatoo done, with the words about a blue bird or something, I couldnt actually read it as he was showing it to me upside down. Something to with his girlfriend though!
We managed to see someone in the council, and sorted out the rent housing benefit for twin1 with him stopping there. There will be a discrepancy of around about £2-50 to £3 she expects so I have told him that he will have to pay the difference, as twin1 is not getting any rent out of him.
We will see. I did say that we all needed to sit down together and sort out the budgets once and for all between the two of them, but that I was not going to do it then as it was my me time.
I got home, had some lunch, and then decided to get some sleep. But first I had a text message, then I had a phone call, and then the post man came to the door, so I gave up. Had a shower, and did my hair. Molly came over for a few minutes while she waited for her daughter who was across the road at the doctors, so a little unexpected catch up. Then it was time to go and collect DGD from her mum and her uncle.
Need I say thats the day gone!. We picked up a McD for her, on the way home, which saved me cooking at the time. I had some microwaveable rice and some onionbaji etc that just needed to be heated in the oven, left over from newyears eve. (they were still in the freezer, I hadnt cooked the whole platter,), I still have more I could use as a starter or similar if I want, as there were 75 pieces in the platter.
Then I was reading while DGD was playing, and then went on to the brainstorming while sitting in the workroom, to keep DGD in check. She has started getting up and down far too much.! So I need to be on the scene to make sure that she is not upto no good!
I watched a bit of catch up on the TV as well. Victorian Christmas, Kirsties Christmas, and The manor reborn.
I had a couple of glasses of wine, and relaxed. I decided to put the collar back on too.
Think the wine helped as I only had to get up 2 times in the night! Although I woke a few more, I was able to go straight back to sleep immediately. Yipeee. Mind you I still feel pretty tired today.
DGD has complained as her moondough has gone in the bin. Alas it was powdered stuff everywhere, and then she mixed it in with a tin of my seed beads! what a mess. So she is playing with the playdough now. And her dinasuars.
Time for me to make a move, and get my joints working.

Well it was lovely to meet you MatyMoo. The dog is adorable, but no I will not have one again.! Too many broken hearts and restrictions!
It was good to see Molly too. My small sitting room wouldnt have allowed for many more in it though!
Maybe we will have another MSE meeting in the garden in the better weather.
I am very tired tonight. The mess that DGD got into before MatyMoo and Molly arrived was enough for anyone to pull their hair out with! From flooding the kitchen, spilling chocolate drink on the carpet, and bringing in Mud. The soap powder box is now soaking and the bottom is loose.! Will need to sort that out.
Hoping for a peacefull evening, as DGD already wants to go to bed. Could that be becuase she has a new TV/Video to watch???

MatyMoo

It was lovely to meet you, Molly and DGD (she is a delight by the way ). The size of your garden probably means you could have the whole of MSE around and still have some space :rotfl:

I know DGD gets up to mischief and wears you out but she is only 4 At least nowadays she doesn't need you to lift her so much and very soon she will be off to school giving you hours to do some sewing, rest, housework or whatever else you choose to do to fill your time. Mooloo Enterprises could even make enough for the rest of us to be able to have coffee mornings selling a la Tupperware!

She is a lucky girl having a new TV/Video, I hope it gives her hours of pleasure and you some peace and quiet.
