    DS and his GF went out a while ago, he is on his bike so will go home on his own, but she still needs to get her and the baby back. As DGD is now due to go to bed, it means DS will have to babysit her while I take his gf and baby home, and then he will have to go home!
    I'm not thrilled as I had to empty the car ready to take them and it was full of bags of things that were to be sorted. ( when I felt ready!). So after spending all morning cleaning and tidying up the house, my front room is back to being a dumping ground!
    So I am feeling grumpy.
    By now I'm usually settled and watching TV or having a bath etc.
    Instead I'm waiting for them to comeback. But DS's phone is off and so is hers. - batteries will have run out then!
    I have done more of my accounts. Getting there.
    Still a bit more to do, but laptop needs to be charged first. ( that's my excuse to stop for the evening).

    Morning.
    It was about 9.30 when I took them home.
    I am tired still this morning, but think that's due to my tablets more then late nights or lack of sleep.
    I have had my tea, sorted out banking, and read and posted up on my social media.
    Yesterday evening I contacted DGD2's other granny about some work next week. As I have such a lot of work, and will need even more help in the business if I am going to keep up with the demand.
    Time to get up properly and get DGD ready for school.
    Wonder what excitement today will have?

    Mooloo young people do tend to be thoughtless. GF may have been feeling a bit lonely and trapped. I remember that well when we lived in a little village with our new baby and no family near. I never told anyone how I felt.

    Could you have a talk with them and arrange a regular meetup when you are not working so not so tired. Explain that these one offs are not good for you.

    Maybe you can encourage her to join a mother and baby club or take baby to baby massage classes and later baby swimming. That way she may hopefully find a friend or two.

    I am struggling today. Yes I agree trying to arrange a set time would help, but I just don't seem to have enough hours in the day when I am not tired after work!
    Today was a not so good day for me, I struggled with the dreary weather, my mood was terribly low. DGD and I had a battle before school.
    I had problems with two of my machines which ate into my time when I least wanted it too. S.law!
    But it did improve by close of day.
    Thank goodness!
    We banked a good bit today as Saturday was a good day, £280 went in, and £137 will eventually get there from the card machine.
    The lady who I was supposed to be doing a deal with, over her stock is not ready to face it, or deal with it. So I am going to just order new from the manufacturer and or distributor and she will have to hope that I may want what she has when she decides what to do with her stock.
    Time to go and get DGD from Brownies.
    May just have a hot bath etc when we are back. With lavender to add to sleep!

    Tiredness is definitely contribution towards My Mood Swings.
    I struggle to wake up at the moment. Hopefully the reduction in the itching, and the skin slowly clearing up will mean that I can reduce and stop the tablets soon.
    Weird dreams are not helping me feel refreshed either.
    The fleas have subsided, but even after the second treatment I am sad to note a flea commuting suicide into my cup of tea this morning.
    Purchase even more stuff then!, and start again.
    Getting really frustrated with it all now.
    As I am busy at work and need my attention there, and being able to relax back here at home. At the moment it's not happening that well.
    Time to wake up DGD and get her ready for school. I am hoping for a better morning as yesterday we were at logger heads and it raised my stress levels, and it affected my day. It was a bad start, and sewing machines came out in sympathy and didn't work properly, I had to strip one down and rebuild it. Then two machines struggled to stitch jeans, and broke several needles. Then I reverted to hand sewing!
    So good karma please today!

    It can take a few weeks until all fleas completely disappear Mooloo. No need to buy more stuff, if you've used the Acclaim spray it will remain active for up to 12mths. There will still be eggs hatching, which is what you're probably seeing but these will be killed off by the residual spray.

    ((HUGS)) Mooloo, I too find that if things go wrong first thing in the morning they continue to go wrong all day! I hope today is being better for you and that you can stop the tablets soon.

    Better day, less of an arguement thank goodness. School are aware her Mummy has gone away to live.
    Work was better, other girl came in this afternoon and we set up a production line of cutting and sewing.
    So were quite well up on the jobs and I think I will sleep better now knowing that a good chunk are done and paid for.

    Morning. Struggling to wake up this morning and I didn't bring up a tray to make tea. Not such a good thing.
    Will have to go into work to start off with, but will aim to duck out as early as I can. My brother is taking Mum to B & q to organise her new bathroom today so I won't tag along this time.
    Tomorrow I have a digital marketing course run by small business part of Banbury council. On the 10th June I am going to a fashion show at Northampton college. Looking forward to that one.
    Fingers crossed nobody puts an obstacle in my way!
    Have a good one people.
