Stepping into 2014- walking in My Shoes with Mooloo

Glad twin 2 is found maybe the landlady making a fuss to SS may give them reason to re-assess twin2s needs.

In future if a customer is late it may be worth ringing and leaving a voicemail or texting and saying something along the lines of 'your appointment was xxpm. I am currently in my sewing room and will not hear the door(bell) so please ring my mobile when you arrive.'

It will hopefully give you a reply of some sort and will stop you having to waste your time

The landlady doesn't want SS any where near her. She had a bad experience with them, so she didn't call the police, they surprised her. We are presuming SS have realised Twin2 is no longer in residence here and they had a duty of care so they have to find her!
Yes I will message people in future, but some I only have had Facebook messages, so they may not get my message if they are out and about. I must Ask for a contact number in future.

Ah I see. A contact number is essential you need to get your business head on... Time is money. Hope you have a relaxing night.

Yes I need a better business head alright.
I need to get my pricing structure sorted out, as I am far too cheap on alterations, looking at the dry cleaners prices. But I will get there.
It's more difficult to up prices on my regular people who came when it was just a bit of pin money.
It took till 10pm to get DGDs settled! And they were awake before 6am. I didn't sleep that well, as weird dreams, but that seems to be par the course for me lately.
Taking DGD to school, and then DGD2 has the dentist to go to about 10.20, so won't get much done this morning.
Then after school pick up, hopefully taking her back to her Mum and I can see the new house for the first time.
Twin2 skyped me yesterday just before 10, she was at home, said the police didn't leave a contact card or anything, which I think is very odd.
Time to shake a leg as the girls have gone downstairs, as the loo is down there.

You can explain that you need it so that if an emergency crops up then you'd like to be sure they don't have a wasted journey.

No seeing today, although another alteration job at the school playground.
Enjoying the sunshine now we are back from the dentist. dGD2 is in the paddling pool, and I'm on the swing seat. Although I am feeling in the mood to create, it's not possible today.
Eyes peeled etc

sorry, spelling changes from the predictor part of my phone keeps changing my posts!
I tried to sew when DGD2 fell asleep this afternoon but the machine played up so actually nothing to show for my work.
Such is life. This evening we spent a few hours not planned helping biggest of Mooloo's to sort out a few rooms in her new home. Bless her she was so stressed and emotionally distraught. I would have stayed longer but ofcourse I have DGD to care for.

Morning, late night last night, early wake up this morning. I see me flagging this afternoon then.
Head is buzzing with so much to do. DGD has just said is it really only 13 sleeps till our holiday? Yes it is. Eek, then I need to finish all sewing orders, and do the packing, etc
I still have £129.99 to make to finish my cash neutral challenge as well!

Tired this evening, heat as well as late night, as I predicted.
I have done an approved food order, as they offered free delivery, but on checkout it didn't allow it, so I have sent an email to ask for a re-imbersement, as think that's unfair.
The lady in the queue at Aldi mentioned that there was more trouble in Tunisia, so I've been checking on Foreign office website( call line no longer exists). But think where I am is still ok ( well as anywhere can be going abroad where Muslim extremists are blowing them selves up every now and then(. But I won't be venturing off of the resort. ( not that I planned too anyway!).
At work the boss popped in, she's been busy in the shop, apparantly my retrend/up cycling stuff is being well received. She wants to get new labels in, and for me to label the stock I handle before dispatch to the shop. I did ask about putting in my Mooloo labels, but she wouldn't let me, and although in her spiel she highly praises my skills she doesn't want me named incase I get poached! I said if I was too go it would be to do this for myself. She also is thinking of bringing in. fashion College leaver, too work alongside me, to do their twist, etc
I'm not sure I want that particularly, but she thinks I wouldn't be able too keep two shops stocked on my own. ( well only doing 12 hours a week, no I wouldn't, but only on £7.17 an hour I'm not prepared at the moment to loose my higher rate money for the jobs I do at home.
I am wondering if now is the time to jump ship? And just do it for myself now, rather then doing some of my best work for her?
So I shall be thinking about this while I am on holiday.

One day, my plans will actually come to fruition! Today's day is already being rearranged.
Been for my mammogram this morning, and I don't care what they say, it hurts, and I'm now achey!
I have a customer to quote for at 12 noon.
DGD2 to collect at 1pm, twin1 now needs to go food shopping, so that has to be slotted in, between 1 and 3pm when I collect DGD1.
Then after DGD1 is home, I have the pair of them until Biggest of Mooloo comes over, and then take dGD1 back to her Mum, they are going to the fair.
Then it's home, and I will probably be exhausted, but if I am not, then it's sewing sewing sewing!
