But surely that is the market Mooloo should be aiming at so she produces fewer quality pieces for a price which will give her a decent standard of living? She has neither the energy nor the stamina to be knocking out cheap market quality goods en masses for pennies these days (no offence Mooloo )

yes you could be right, i shouldn't have said that maybe, i am unlikely to be buying anything myself (as i am on a very small budget)

Struggling today. So no sewing. I think that i will still need to make a mid range of goods certainly while I get to grips and build the hobby into a buisness. As I try to make the changes from benefits to income. gulp.

I think perhaps it would help if you can change your mindset. A hobby is something that's indulged in for one's own entertainment and pleasure . A business isn't, and will involve doing some things that are not only not entertaining but have to be done to a fixed timescale, they may be an onerous chore - but still have to be done.

Nothing much to report today. Another stay at home day and struggling on. Biggest of Mooloo came over and stopped for a while and then took DS with her so that he can babysit. So she will bring him back in the morning along with DGD 2 so I will have her while she does some work at the youth club place. its been closed for quite a while and now has to be cleaned up and relaunched.
DGD 1 is much better today and now needs entertaining.
Mmm.

Mooloo, ehy haven't the twins got payg mobiles, so they never have the chance to run a bill up?

Savvy_sewing

its the house phone bills. To be able to stay connected, contact the jobcentre, call for interviews, contact me and the services they have to interact with. Also the package is their internet too. The mobile calling is barred. the top up is never on the mobiles half the time. their friends abused the mobiles taking them from the girls and using them up.
if life was simple with them non of these problems would have been at all.

it appears twin 2 is now out of everything. but is no longer contacting me. Her care package has been cancelled as she was not there to interact with.

Oh dear Mooloo But there is absolutely nothing that you can do about her life choices - she is "grown up" in her own eyes, even though she is a vulnerable adult - and apart from kidnapping her, and locking her down (both of which are illegal ) there is nothing you can do to help her at the moment. You just have to let her be, make the most of the present and concentrate on energising yourself for what you can do at the moment - and leave the future to take care of itself.

Try and enjoy the coming spring and summer (well we hope its on the way) and try and appreciate the fact that for the moment you have one less call on your time and money!

It's very sad. This is exactly how vulnerable people who have difficulty in understanding how the world works slip through the holes in the safety net and go into freefall.

It is frightening.
I feel useless.
twin1 has turned her back on her sister and neither biggest or DS are willing to help her just now. So she is really. on her own without her care package. this will result in her forgetting appointments and in turn her benefits will then stop. The house is going to be repossessed and she will be on the street. its,already in proceedings and I cannot do anything to stop it.

I do understand how you must feel - but at the moment, as you say THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO. All you can do is try to keep track of her, hope that along the way she is chosing to go there will be people who will give her a helping hand.
