Stepping into 2014- walking in My Shoes with Mooloo

Errata

I think it's pointless, unhelpful and slightly dangerous to suggest someone may be on the ASD spectrum on the basis of a few examples of behaviour on a few posts made by someone else.
Some people are just naturally horrible to their partners, as the separation and divorce statistics show.

Change of subject.
Today I have had a busy day, gardening, housework, and this evening I have had two customers with 12 alterations between them. So I am going to be busy for the next few days.
Really pleased to say that DGD is on the mend. Playing a but today, and pestering for attention so that's a good sign.
I'm aching after the hard work in the garden but at least I feel I have achieved something.

Well done for getting that garden sorted. I remember you saying how big it is! It must be back breaking work.

Sounds good. How about setting up a barter system, DGD2 childcare in return for lawn mowing / gardening!

It's a good idea, but they are rather time poor. Asking DS is a waste of time. But I've done a good bit.

The garden at the back is 159ft long. The top 30ft is still a wilderness.
It takes me just over two hours just to cut the lawn.
The front garden is going to be quite a task though as it's all overgrown weeds and no grass!
I will just have to time manage better!

we have put black stuff (like material) then fancy stones on top and it looks really nice, i never thought i'd like it but it looks nice and only a few weeds manage to find their way through so its fairly easy to look after

Time poor? Don't believe that for a second. More like too morally impoverished to treat you with any degree of gratitude and fairness.
Sorry if that sounds harsh, but they take advantage of your time and petrol.

Mostly I don't mind, as soon as the nursery has space for DGD2 to go full time then I will be free to do my own thing. DS has done it a few times lately for them as like yesterday I couldn't go as DGD was ill.
Mind you she is on the mend now. But doctor said no school. Just incase she spreads it maybe??, although to be fair she's still not eating, and that's about all she ever does!
No alarms set, shut the window last night as the birds have been waking me far too early. Didn't wake till nearly 8am! Although I did wake twice in the night for the loo!
I must stop watching NCIS as my dreams are rather gory.

I have lots of alterations in to continue with today.
And several phone calls etc to make.
I'm rather stiff from all that hard graft yesterday.

Whiteguineapig, that's an option if I can get it down first.
Mind you I'd like to save up to have it car parked, or at least some of it, as parking is a nightmare.
But the holiday needs to be coupes first, and then savings topped back up before I spend on anything again for a while.
I'm trying to get my sewing profile up in the local area and take in alterations to up my income, especially when things like ill health, bank holidays etc have taken a huge chunk of time from me at the recycle centre. I have dropped income dramatically of late.
Time to get on, I will be chasing my tail otherwise.
Have a good day everyone.

6 lots of alterations done today.
DGD had a go at sewing and we made a triangular bean bag of all things.
Customer really happy and has others in the pipeline.
Feeling a bit of cabin fever having been home all week.
Good news is Twin2 has a room to rent, and housing benefit help, and is now getting JSA. One less worry.

Lazy start to the day. Have lots of sewing inspiration and ideas going through my head today. hopefully I will be able to get to try some of them out.
Still having nightmares!
I need to go to the post office today, so will have to go out, and take DGD with me.

Her Mum actually rang yesterday to speak to her. Well actually she rang about her tablet but did ask about her and talk to her. so that cheered DGD up.
Right I better get moving or nothing's going to get done and I have a mountain of clothes to put away. Not to mention all the usual household jobs.
