Mooloo's Joining up the dots in 2017

Enjoy the dinner.

It was a grand affair in the Ricoh Arena in Coventry. 1290 people so it was quite a function.
It was very good until bf showed his old colours and went off on one because I agreed to dance with someone else from our table. Apparently I should have only danced with him! Stupid insecure and very much a reminder that he plays mind games. So the evening was ruined and this morning he was still distant and didn't say much, we didn't do breakfast in the hotel, just up and home.
So I have been home since 10am, he didn't stop, he drove off as soon as I got my clothes out of the boot. So I expect he's going to be moody for a few days. Tough cos he's not going to get me all apologies etc as he was out of order and not me. Just shows that he still has issues.
So I have had a day of tv, sofa, cuppas, and chilling instead of dashing around filling anyone's itinerary.
I don't feel guilty about chilling for once. Work is busy again thankfully and we took a brilliant £984 this week which helps as I had to pay the Staffs wages etc that are much higher than originally anticipated.
Tomorrow is going to be full on again, so I am just enjoying taking a day off for once.

Oh Mooloo, so sorry things went wrong. xx

Lurker but just had to post what a silly man sounds very immature for his age he needs to learn that having a partner does not mean you own them!! He is the one that should apologise he has learned nothing over the years and does not deserve a loving partner like you.

I have done nothing today except watch TV, read, and surf the net.
Really lazy day.
I will be going to bed soon too as I can't stop yawning.
As soon as dgd goes to bed I will be too. Tomorrow is another day, and I will find my positive side again. I shall visualise a good day and a successful one, followed by a great week of work ahead.
I am not going to let negative thoughts back in!!
Onwards and upwards x

I am awake, I have my cuppa, my mail has been checked, and although I didn't have perfect night I did get a reasonable one, only waking once for the loo! And once or twice because I was too hot or too cold.
I went to bed with positive thoughts and I am feeling positive about the day ahead. My job sheet is full, if not totally planned out ( as we know that never happens in my world!)
Time to drink my tea, listen to the world waking up around me, and then sieze the day.

I have stayed positive. I have worked hard today trying to get on with the motor home cushions. It took 3 hours to cut them out. Tomorrow I will overlock them so they don't fray when we see them. I hope that the piping will come tomorrow.
I then did fittings and general alterations that were needed for tomorrow.
I finished at 5.30 so I could get Dgd from after school club and get her ready for Brownies.
So while she's there I am trying to organise what I need to do here at home. Having taken yesterday off to charge my internal batteries.
My thoughts on BF are that I don't think that I will go to live with him in the future after all.
I am not going to give up my life here, and my freedom. If he sulks because I dance with someone else that tells me that his jealousy is still there, and I can't trust him to not try to rule my life.
I am going to stay put here!
On the work side, I am very busy and plenty of work and fittings still booking in.
Staff tells me that she is going away in August at the same time as I am, so although she had told me she would run the shop, she now can't. However I think that the new seamstress will be able to do it and we started to discuss it this evening.
Now I am going to write my diary to straighten up my mind and plan my next job.

Texting from BF not brilliant he is still sulking.
I won't be drawn into dicecting the evening all over again. I have decided to come to bed and read for a while as head space is too full.

Does Staff make your life easier, Mooloo? She seems to do what she wants when she wants? I can't fathom just cheerily telling my boss that actually I'm taking leave when I'm needed to hold down the fort and had agreed to do so, and feel like that was okay.

On the whole she has made life easier, while she is in, she keeps the customers and me organised, keeps the shop tidy and stocked, and prepares work for me, taking the jobs in and giving them our leaves me more time to sew. I just think with retirement looming and her daughter's Cafe, she now has other priorities.
She was due to retire in July anyway and was only going to come back to cover my holidays because she still can't quite imagine full retirement.
In a way it is probably time for her to go, but we are so busy that if she was to go, the amount of sewing that I got done would be very much reduced. I am working flat out even passed shop opening hours these days, but how long it will be like that is debatable as you never know from one day to the next what will come through the door.


Bf is still miffed with me. His problem not mine.
Dgd needs to get to school early today so I better get her up and moving. One of the other Mum's needs a lift to work so I will take the car, and the opportunity to take a pile of off cut fabrics down to the shop and out of my front room.
Better get up!!!
