I am trying to work on the website but it keeps freezing!

Biggest has been on the phone and apologised for her hanging up on me, and she has realised that actually if I wasn't there it would not spoil her party. I have said I would rather do something like a meal etc with the other mothers ( her stepmum and his mum), with her or a tea party or something.
And we had a long talk about my son. His GF is going around telling everyone that I have disowned him and his son. So she's not helping.
I know that one of them has seen my messages, but I can't say which one but I have had no response.
I will leave them now to see if anything changes, but I won't hold my breath.
the windows are going to take two days. So I will have to just leave them to it to go into work tomorrow and pop back in the middle of the day.When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.0 -
I am emotional tonight.
Being DS's birthday I had hoped that he would respond to my messages but he didn't. Unfortunately then I have heard from other family members that his GF is calling me and accusing me of disowning my son and grandson when all I had done was withdrawn my financial support and Mum's Taxi.
I have finally found their fathers number and called him tonight and told him that I am not happy about things and that I have run out of money to support them.
I have adveraged £5,000 a year supporting them all since the twins were 18
That's £50,000 that should have been in my Pension plan and isn't.
the other thing is that I am worried about the living conditions of DS.
He said that he will go to see DS tomorrow and assess it. Financially he just said don't give them any money. But as he hasn't been around much in 23 years I am not surprisedWhen I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.0 -

I am just going to have to package up the emotions and put them to one side and just get on with life. I have been so positive about my choices etc and my future and I need to get my head back to that place.
I have to be organised and productive at work as I only have today and a couple of hours tomorrow to do what work there is. Anything that comes in today onwards won't be started until Tuesday.
I Skyped my Mum as I wasn't able to go to see her yesterday as normal because of the window fitters being here. She is fine and agreed that the beds could wait a few more days to be changed. She was having her medicine delivered today so she doesn't have to go out and she was busy playing with her embroidery machine making scotty dog pictures. That machine and her memory stick of designs has been a wonderful thing for her to work with and has really occupied her time since Dad died.
I have a tummy ache this morning. Wonder what I ate yesterday that was different? Oh yes I ate a bar of chocolate last night while watching films on the movie channel.
I had managed to put the curtains back up in the bedroom and sitting room yesterday but the rest will wait until the windows are finished before they go back up.
I should probably have started to declutter yesterday but I was never sure which room the men were going to be in and it was so cold I huddled under the blanket! So I think that plan will have to come at the end of the week next week. I have a friend that I have had help me before I think I will call her assistance in, because I manage to throw out more of my rubbish when I have some one working along side of me. I seem to get stronger once I have a partner in the job!
I have been down stairs earlier this morning (because of the tummy), so I have missed the timer on my SAD lamp.
I will try to get dgd up etc and the lunchbox done, so that I can fit a few minutes with it before we leave for the school run.
Onwards, upwards etc
I am just trying to find my positive energy for the day.When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.0 -
I spent the first half hour doing fittings then worked on my sewing lessons list. And sent it out by email. I then went back to the sewing. I have a lot of zip replacement jobs in, and they slowed me down today. I think I only managed to sew about £80 worth of work today. But we took £174 between the bank card machine and cash. I had two people in after official closing time with about 4 jobs each. So I will have plenty of work to do in the morning before I go away for the weekend.
Dgd and my bags are packed.
This evening we had dinner in the pub with one of my friends and her son. Then my neighbour's called wanting me to go round there for a while. Apparently my friends are all missing me, as they haven't seen much of me since mid December!
I have been so busy working on my business plan etc.
I am tired now and ready to go to bed. Just waiting for my washing machine to finish so I can dry the contents then I am going to have an early night.When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.0 -

The windows are only half done. They had to smash up the old ones to get them out due to the rendering being added at a later date than the windows.
I don't know when they are coming back to finish it as they had to go to another job today, but that was better for me as I needed to be at work today.
I am hoping that the weekend with BF will be a good one and that we get plenty of time to talk about the future etc. It's his birthday on Sunday.
Back on Monday.When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.0 -
Ps. I am lucky enough not to be paying for this holiday either and still have my Euros from Cyprus so I don't have to use my holiday fund either.When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.0
