Mooloo’s Managing it in 2018

pollyanna_26

Mooloo You're well rid of her and her blinds . It proves the curtains and blinds are not only hard on your body but at times have been a source of stress . Unfair to be robbed like that but Karma will catch up with her .
Hope you can calm down and sleep tonight . Don't give her the headspace . Wishing you a better day tomorrow .

If she doesn't pay take her to the small claims court. Sometimes just mentioning that is enough.

Morning.
The shop is closed today, but I will be going in in a few hours. I am only just getting up.
I feel awful. I was up and down like a yo-yo, with weird dreams in between. BF didn't help with snoring either. He went to work at 6.20 and I went back to sleep, well dozed on and off. But I am drinking my tea and then must launch myself into the day.

I will try not to let her bother me, over the blinds. I will post out an invoice with BACS payment details if she hasn't been in to pay within the week.
I will dig out my terms and conditions and add them too.
I will add interest to it if she doesn't pay within 7 days. See if that gets her to pay up.
Yes I have lost £65 from her.
But with all her messing about, changing the lie of the blind, changing the ends for the mechanism, and restringing, retaping, visiting her house, and unpicking her curtains originally, I have spent 25 hours extra on her blinds, and turned away, or delayed £625 worth of work.
Let's face it, I will never get that back. All I can do is try to claw back money by doing more at home, and making sure that I don't do time consuming jobs that don't pay me very well.
I will stick to alterations and small makes like cushions, and make my little purses etc out of the remnants.
I will probably put a few on the Internet etc
I can do them for my enjoyment in front of the tv.

Today's agenda.
Breakfast. Dress. Take Dgd with over night bag to Biggest.
Come back. Pop to work. Finish 3 pairs of trousers for a customer coming this afternoon. Measure and cut out the blackout lining for a set of curtains that need re lining. Get them made if possible. There are several pairs that also need shortening. So I need to do them or at least prep them as seamstress doesn't do curtains.
BF is coming back to mine after work. Dgd is staying over as I am working tomorrow. I will try and persuade Bf to get a Chinese takeaway tonight. I am sick of trying to come up with meals.
Can you tell I am rather fed up, and not feeling the love these days?!
DS is struggling to do his move on his own, and finally answered my messages. Apologised for not replying, eventually admitted he was having difficulty with transportation of his stuff, as her family were supposed to be going to help but didn't. Etc
I am not able to transport anything in my sports car.
He is running out of fuel so I did give him £20 but I know that I probably should have not and let him stew in his diliemma. But I am too soft.
My Mum has helped again by letting him put stuff in her garage, and she has helped Biggest with some of his car tax and insurance but he is not to know, he is to think that he still owes it to his sister. But at the end of the years insurance which is May he will not be getting any further help.
Twin 1 is worried about twin2, rang me yesterday worried about the way her Bf is treating her. Didn't I call social care about that only the other week. I will call her later today, but again nothing really that I can do.
I am looking forward to a week off on Monday.
I have brought home my Silver Embroidery machine, well it's in the boot of the car, and I am taking that on holiday with me, to play with when kids are entertained etc.
I still haven't got a cardigan for dgd, but I can go shopping down in Kent if necessary.
Just remembered Aldi will be closed Sunday so I better menu plan and Shop for the stuff we want on Saturday after work or Monday before we go away.

Thanks Beanie!
I am finding them quite popular. Another order came in for some today from one of you lovely people.

Yesterday I managed to work through quite a lot of jobs but didn't get the curtains done I wanted to do. I did have a collection and £60 paid that I would not have had if I had not gone in. I worked until nearly 5pm
As we didn't have Dgd BF and I went out to dinner. Very nice steak dinner and a bottle of wine for £30 not bad.
This morning I have been in and out of the shop. Came in early to do two bridesmaids dress fittings before normal opening hours. Then nipped to the chemist for my prescription, back to tidy up the workshop as it was looking rather sad and full. Services for two sewing machines. Popped out again for some lunch. Next have delivered dgds cardigan, along with some bonus chocolates in the packet.
I have just eaten my lunch so I am ready for the children to come in half an hour.
Going to be working on different things though as one has already done the Elasticated skirt/top. So I think she will have to make a tote bag. She has only been to one lesson before so a bag will be an easy option and good for practicing straight stitches!after work I have to go to change Mums bed, and a few chores, before I go to collect Dgd. Having tea with Biggest before I come home. So yeah another night off of cooking.

The christening has been cancelled as one of the other members of the family down south is poorly. So above my daughter (Twin1 's Head, they decide to cancel it. So 8 of us going down there just for the holidays now. Twin1 and Dgd are both very upset. I am not thrilled as I would not have chosen to have the holiday in a caravan in the uk if we hadn't been going for the christening. I would have waited for the warmer months, actually I would have been going to Portugal instead.
But there it is. I just hope the dress, cardigan and shoes will still fit when they decide when they are going to do it instead.
