Mooloo's "Making my future, one stitch at a time"?

I think I need to ask the moderators to help there. I seem to only be able to alter the text! Sorry BrightonBelle
I'm up later then I thought.
DGD is awake still.
She caught me crying over a recorded Call the Midwife. It was about adoption, and forced adoption.
Well you know how I feel about that.
If I could add to my wish list it would be to have enough money for a mother baby unit, with a difference. They keep the babies with consistent help. Or at worst keep contact if they are able.
So it's an emotional Mooloo that says, time for bed.
We must make it a better new year.

Happy New Diary Mooloo

I cried over that episode too, a very good friend had to give up a baby so it is a subject close to my heart. Luckily for her they were reunited 37 years later and now have a good relationship.

I'm having to steel myself to watch it. I have a very close friend who had a miscarriage over 40 years ago & the way she was treated was just awful. Asked what she had done to cause it - the inference was on purpose. Like no-one who was married ever did anything to cause a miscarriage. I still feel myself getting annoyed just to think about it. On top of the accusations she was also put on a ward with women who were still pregnant but at risk of losing them. Nightmare doesn't even come close to a decent description. I am just so grateful that things have changed. But on the other hand I still think people have babies too readily.

I remember having my twins in the special care unit, and waking up with just a Polaroid picture of them beside me, on a ward full of mums with babies, and everyone asking in loud stage whispers where was my baby! It was awful. They were there only 10 days but it felt like an eternity, and sharing with other people with babies crying and feeding etc all around me was cruel enough.
I agree that my family seem to have been very lapse over contraception, dispite the girls originally having implants. But they were removed in the new year, and remembering to take a pill on time was never going to happen! We all know that one.
I'm running late for work. Dispite a 7am alarm, I decided I wanted a soak in the bath. Still need to get DGD up, and take her with me. I better get my skates on!

Just saw the new thread and popped in to say hello. Then read your news and had to do a recap on the old thread. Really can't believe the number of grandchildren you are expecting. (Got as far back as DS and twin1 but gather there is a third one due?)

One snippet: Round here the people that pay for name labels to be sewn on are usually paying about £1 each label. Anyone using this service does so because they are short of time and are happy to pay for the service. Don't sell yourself short.

I sometimes think you should start a proper blog Mooloo- one where you could get money from sponsors! The number of views you get here would be probably tripled or more out in blog land, and it would be a very welcome income for you ! Your story is so real, can be frustrating for the reader at times, but is always inspirational.

I hope 2015 is a great one for you!

I'll be honest - I view it here because this board is the one I come to a lot. I probably wouldn't view if on a different board on MSE let alone in blog land because I'm lazy and spend too much time on the internet as it is...


It is quite hard to build a big blog following.

I suppose I could duplicate it somehow. But it's been here for many years as I got so much helpful advise from the professionals on here.
I keep meaning to write a book, but just don't have the willpower to do it!
Maybe I need a ghost writer? Who can take the blog and work with it.
I'm at work, struggling a bit today. First job went well. Second job was a glue job rather then a sewing one.
Modesty panel didn't go to plan and had to be redone.
Shortened a skirt was ok, but interrupted a lot has put me off my stride. Only just had my lunch now.
DS, GF, and Biggest of Mooloo came to see me. They had been to the hospital for a scan. Biggest is the other one expecting a baby in August. It's too early for her scan, but she took them so they weren't on the motorbike in this weather.
Molly's daughter helped me for a few hours and DGD has been on the gadgets. Noises are driving me a bit nuts.
When I've eaten my crisps I better get back to work!

I know this comes up every so often Mooloo but my advice is that it takes a lot of hard work and talent to write a book that will sell and even then getting published is very very difficult. I think you are far better off putting your limited energy supplies into your life now and future.
If you have to summon up 'willpower' to do it, then doing it will bleed you dry. It's also about looking backwards into despair rather than forwards into hope.
Sadly, stories of hardship for the parents of disabled children falling through the welfare cracks are not rare.

Id rather write about my childhood in Africa and Cyprus but heyho!
I'm going to be too busy living the here and now at the moment.
