Mooloo’s Managing it in 2018

Well I did put ignore but when it's quoted by others I still get to see it.
My family came back one by one in 2007. I was living in a 2 bedroom flat in a rough area. I moved when twin1 moved in and had Dgd after a violent partner tried to strangle her and kicked her in the stomach while pregnant. So then social asked me to take twin2 and her baby as they couldn't go home from the hospital to her partner because it turned out he was a pedophile( spelling), scitz, and on drugs.
So I moved. I rented privately and moved. Then when I was in the private rental I got I'll. also biggest partner nearly died in a car crash, they lost an income and lost their home. So they moved in with us.
When everyone started to move out etc I downsized. Then there was just DS and me. Peace I thought in a little cottage, with a veg patch and fruit trees. But twin 1 wasn't allowed to keep her child so I had to take her on.
So yes I was rehoused, and to be honest I have moved 39 times. This is my 40th home and I don't want to move again. But if housing needs to move me, I would.
Luckily I haven't moved or DS would not have a safe haven to return to.
Luckily I have a business that is beginning to be profitable and I am slowly reducing the "benefit-burden" on the system and employing other people to also reduce the system.
I may make plenty of decisions that you don't agree with, and that's fine. I think it's when slagging people off, or being spiteful appears it upsets me. There is no need.
When and if I can afford to move out of rental I would.
But for now I am doing the best I can for all four of my children/adults and all of the children where I can.
I don't know if I can facilitate their return and support DS or have to have them on my own, but I will try.
Loosing twin2s children has broken all of our hearts and twin 2 has never been the same. But she still keeps trying. She also told me not to let the same thing happen to my sons boys. So that is what I am trying to do.

On a more cheerful note I interviewed a lady to work in the Shop who could well be the answer to my current needs. So celebrating 4 years of success, and now I am going to try very hard to let it go as the song says!
I am going out to watch an old friend play at a music festival tonight.

Time to put my glad rags on, my hair up and forget about it all if I possibly can for one evening.

Have a good evening Mooloo, God knows you deserve it!

Hope you have a great evening Mooloo, and good news about finding a new staff member who'll be able to take some pressure off you. X

Hope you had a pleasant evening Mooloo, and that the lady you've interviewed will prove to be just right.

It was a good evening, and I have had a good day. Went to see my Mum and took her out to the garden centre and we had lunch and then we went to Aldi for the shopping. It closed today for 6 weeks so all the fruit and veg was half price. Meaning that I got all the shopping for the week for the four of us for £50 or just less. I did Mums shopping and mine which came to £74 but I think mine was just under the £50 when we separated it out.
I have had a pleasant cup of tea with DS and now he's gone to collect his GF from work. He tells me Biggest is in hospital, for observations as her contractions started yesterday evening. He went to look after the kids while she went to hospital. It's too early at 34 weeks so they will try to slow her down. But she is booked in for a c section next month, they may have to rethink that then.
It's been a glorious day today.
I have come to sit in my garden with my diary and my glass of wine.
Tomorrow Dgd is coming home. Looking forward to seeing her it's been a long 18 days.

Wages for staff done, cannot be bothered to do the accounts tonight. Watching Grand Prix highlights. DS and gf gone for a walk.
The weather is pretty good and I feel as if I am still on holiday.
Make the most of the good weather, the winter will be long enough.
I feel calm, organised and ready to work well tomorrow. I have helped DS and gf I to come up with their plan on what they are doing and where they are go.
DS spoke the boss at work and she hadn't really understood that her cutting their hours would make such a difference to them, and she has said she will have a rethink.
Let's hope that she will.
Tomorrow is the meeting with the council about the housing. And they are Not asking for free housing they are asking for a safe house change!

Ps
Biggest is in early labour. 34 weeks. Hoping to slow her down but given her steroid injection to try to develop lungs. Please pray for her. We want a healthy baby, we already know that it will have to be a Caesar.
