Mooloo's little tapestry of life, 2016

Thanks EE.
I am facing my FEAR, and I will break it down.
Just sorted out my packing list.
Although I think I have probably packed too many summer clothes and not enough winter clothes as the forecast is 12-14 at the moment.
Oh well it could be an excuse to buy some clothes out there if I need to.
Just waiting for dgd to come home so I can take the cases to mum's and we can make sure that we have everything we need.
I also want to deliver Christmas Presents to my family

Because texting was still happening occasionally between ex and I, be it mundane things I have just text him to say that I can't keep texting as it gives him false hope that I will reconsider and that I don't want life to be on pause over Christmas, that I need to move on.
He did say he would miss me, and I know his number if I change my mind.
I said I won't be changing my mind as we have done this to death.

I got bye then back.

More power you. I'm proud of you. For every woman that takes that step I suspect there are ten who don't. ((( hugs )))

It took me a long time to get out of the toxic cycle with my ex Mooloo. Blocking his number was an important step as at least then I didn't know he'd been trying to contact me. It gave me the space to move on without him, which is what you need.

I have just been to see my Daughter (biggest of Mooloo's ) and drop off the presents etc.
I am now at my Mums so she can have a shower etc.
I am sure she will feel better after that.
I will have to get back home for dgd as she stayed out playing round her friends.

Another day, another dollar (well pounds). I have to do the shop on my own again as staff is still not well. Everyone around me are dropping like flies with either the chest infection or the vomiting bug! I don't have time to be ill.
My agenda for today is to finish shortening two pairs of trousers, then two evening dresses, make two giant Santa stockings and then if I have any time left there are two jackets that need sleeves shortening and a skirt that needs redesigning to fit someone.
I then have a fitting or two to add to the mix.
I forgot to take the skirts back to school for the headmistress so I hope she will still be there after work.
I have to try harder to get organised in 2017 and find a system to keep me more on track than I currently do.
Accountability for my goals and actions I suppose.

A job well done.
Trousers shortened. Dresses shortened. Giant Santa stockings made.
Leatherskirt redesigned.
Tomorrow I will have the two jackets to do, and a couple of tiny mending jobs and an evening dress fitting- a job I will not have to tackle until I return.
Staffdid ignore orders and came in to work so I popped out at lunchtime and delivered the skirts to school and some Christmas presents on my way back.
Feeling focused and productive today.
Mum ate a brioche and had a coffee this morning and looked so much better.
Neighbour asked if I could look after her daughter on Wednesday all day and I actually said nope. Sorry only at home until 12.
Once dgd is collected I am out of there.
Once upon a time I would have agreed and juggled my day.
The positive me said actually no I can't.
Feels quite empowering!
I am not going to be dashing about at the last moment or adding any stress from now on.
I want to start thinking about slowing down and focusing on me for a few hours.
4.30 time to close the shop collect dgd and have the evening at home.

Last day in the shop for me today.
I am starting to look forward to the break away now.
Not sure the lack of work will be so good for the bank balance but at least there are funds in the savings accounts for the tax man and a months rent if required.
Dgd is talking in her sleep!
One more sleep to her Mummy's she is getting very excited

And so to bed, worried that I will be ill as my tummy is on fire. Can't have the bug now! I will not let it!!! Hopefully it's just my dinner or something.
Shop is closed now until next year.
I have a new business planner to play with.

Get to a chemist tomorrow and see if they can sell you something off prescription that will help.

It has suddenly gone quiet.
That's my little monkey gone to her Mum's for the whole of Christmas and the New Year!
I feel odd!
Time to empty the fridge, turn out the Christmas tree, and gather my things to go to Mum's, with a few drop offs along the way.
