Stepping into 2014- walking in My Shoes with Mooloo

Savvy_sewing

sewing all day yesterday. Till First I ran out of stabiliser for the t shirts. Then swapped to the aprons and run out of steam at 10pm
This morning I have to pop into hobby craft on my way to work to see if I can get more stabiliser as shirts are needed by tomorrow Tea time.
The sun is out already, so it was easier to get out of bed at least.
Managed to dry all the washing yesterday, outside on the line so at least the bathroom doesn't look like Mrs Wishy Washy's house anymore.
recycle centre today. Better get a move on.

Don't ask me about the T shirts, I might cry! Took me until 8.30 last night, with extra trips including a trip to town after school yesterday to buy replacement T shirts after ruining two. Time consuming, stressful, and never again. It was a night mare. But it's done now.
I have dgd2, tonight. While Biggest goes to Spain.
Good news is DS may have found a job. He has an induction day today, and I presume he will pass, and will then be working in a pub about 10 minutes from where they are living. ( funnily enough I had a job there about 18 years ago, but had to give it up when the Nanny moved out).
Time to shakea leg and get ready for school, dentist and then work.
I hope the snow forecast doesn't come! I need the sun.

feeling fraught if truth be told. For a while we have not heard from twin2. she is no longer in Cornwall and didn't come home. Finally found her (loosely speaking), she answered her phone yesterday lunchtime, she is in Cambridge on a farm, with "friends". So worried about the exacts, etc and so frustrated as she doesn't see the danger or the harm in going off?
Stressing me out.
I am exhausted, and worried and can't do anything about it. Well her.
She missed her signing on so there will be financial repercussions and she doesn't grasp that concept.
On another note I have DGD2 at the moment aswell as DGD1, although she was as good as gold last night. I was in bed just after them though! Cancelled BF coming over as I was so tired.
The week has flown by. I have double booked myself today! So will be cancelling the opticians although I really need my glasses, and had to postpone a sewing lesson as the school are doing something for sport relief so I need to be there to watch DGD.
Tonight we have a hen do to go to. I say we, I mean me and the school Mums.
DGD2 will need taking to Nursery and her other granny takes over at 1pm
DGD1, is going to her grandad for the weekend.

DS has a job, but other then it's in a pub up near them I don't know the details yet. He had an induction day yesterday.

Time to get the girls up and dressed. Then launch into my busy day!

Hope you have a lovely weekend. x

Well I wasted yesterday with a hang over. Too much to drink on the hen night, dispite supposed to be being the sensible one.
Good job DGD was with her grandad.
I stayed home sleeping, watching TV, and being sick! Oh dear I am just too old for all this drinking lark!
So I didn't go to BFs, which I think has annoyed him, but there was no way I was driving.
I did think about going to see him today, but I think I would rather just potter here at home and see if I can catch up on the alterations that are creeping in the door in dribs and drabs.
At least this morning the headaches gone!!

as usual in the Mooloo household nothing goes to plan. DGD was taken ill and had to come home early from her Grandad. She was sick, but now she has a high temperature, and a sore throat.
Mind you now I am also suffering from a sore throat. So we have stayed at home. Yesterday saw me putting a huge effort into sewing all the alterations and repairs on my list. So I may have not been able to earn my normal bread and butter money from a day at the recycle centre.
Today DGD was supposed to go on a school trip to Warwick Castle, so she is upset, I will have to try and organise to take her when she is better.
So another day at home, and living off of the store cupboard.
Good job it's quite full.

Well it has been a quite week so far. What with DGD being ill. She's now on anti biotics and spending her time in her room with the DVD, or my kindle.
I haven't been brilliant either, also with a sore throat after the rough weekend. Bf has kept his distance, which I am greatful for as then I can be messy, in PJ's and go to bed early.
I have ofcourse still been sewing the various jobs I have for home but not pushing at any real pace. Although I did more on Monday then I did yesterday.
My energy levels are still low, my sleep is massively disrupted and the can't be a**ed to do much mentality is upon me.
Twin1 has gone off to Kent again.
Twin2 has not been back yet. I fear the repercussions are just looming, but I am trying to stop worrying about what may or may not happen. But you mostly know me by now, that that is easier said then done for me.
I just don't have the energy to waste on stress and worrying.
I have had a bit of an enforced slow down, and try to recharge my batteries with DGD being ill. And me being rough too. The voice is coming and going, and that's always an indicator to me that I am stressed out.
I am hoping that today DGD will start to improve, that another day at home will do the trick, and that I will also start to rebuild my energy and enthusiasm.
I am trying to follow a todo list, so that important things will still be dealt with, and also other mundane jobs tackled. Monday was reasonably successful, but Yesterday I was a little too ambitious and have had to re-write today's plans.
Although it is only myself that I am letting down at the moment, I don't want to slip any further back and let any customers down.
On the customer front, there is a slow trickle to my door, and that's positive really, as it's a steady build of jobs by word of mouth rather then by any advertising.
It suits my health and other commitments at the moment, but probably not really my financial ones.
I still haven't heard back from the Social about the possibility of an extension to my Guardianship funding. At the moment I am working on the assumption that I have lost the funding, under the current economic funding structure It seems the most likely. so I am aware I need to get back on my treadmill and pick up all my old Frugal habits, and work load. So the procrastination, has got to stop and the action needs to be stepped up, which is not easy when I am run down, depressed, and feeling like hibernating at the moment.
One step at a time is all I can cope with. When I try to look at the bigger picture I fail dismally.
So forgive me if one day I am little miss dynamo, but the next I am Brian the Snail. Such is my life.
Have a good day everyone, and let's hope that today I manage to tackle my list a bit better then I did yesterday.

The anti biotics are working for DGD, as she is now bouncing around the front room. Unfortunately I don't feel much better at all.
Just had a mini fire on my hands when the t light melted its holder and set fire on top of my wall unit. Had only left the room for a few minutes to put dinner in the oven. Hate to know what would have happened if I had been gone any longer, the flames were several inches high and burning well.
What a fright.

Morning from a cold and grey Day. The weather is mimicking how I feel. Cold and Grey!
DGD appears to be on the mend but I am feeling just as blah, as I was yesterday.
I will not be going to work today either, so spending money on holiday will be very reduced next month. I will be taking basics with us, as we are going in the car, and Self catering. Pity the bread machine is just too big to pack!
Plan to just potter again, and do little alterations and those kind of jobs. Have cancelled the Workshop, no voice to be teaching! rescheduled it for end April, but hope that won't be detrimental and will give us more people able to attend.
Have a good day everyone, and hope the sun shines soon.

:eek: to the fire.

I hate fire of any sort in a house. Even a coal fire scares me witless - we do have a fireplace but it is boarded up and my DH keeps talking about opening it up but I would be so worried about fire that I wouldnt dare leave the room.
I grew up with a coal fire and apart from 1 chimney fire nothing happened so not sure where my fear has come from.

Hope the cabinet is ok.
