Mooloo’s Managing it in 2018

Savvy_sewing

Morning, I need to keep this one brief as it's back to school again today.
I still ended up with a late night, past midnight as I ended up doing more surveys to keep my mind busy. The more I have done the more emails with new ones have arrived in my in box. But I will need to block time or as I said yesterday it will swallow my time.
BF has hurt his back apparently so he may be struggling today, and what with the new arrival I think I will probably see even less of him for a while anyway.
My first two followers have clicked on the Blog. Exciting times. Although it will probably take years to get as many as read this.
Today Biggest is back in work so hopefully I can get the backlog of curtains finished before the day is out. With out having to serve in the shop I will have better concentration and be able to focus on one task at a time.
I have done the two loads of DSs washing the bag turned out to hold. Hopefully I will get them dry ready to return tomorrow. I plan on returning them a day earlier than I told them as I want to see the kitchen.
My full rent , life insurance and other DDs have gone out of the bank today, and despite paying myself £100 I am £255 overdrawn out of my £500 over draft. Things are very tight in the Mooloo household at the moment. But I am on it, just.
The one good thing is that all the credit cards are put away so no little temptation to use them, and I am tweaking the budget as much as I can to claw back the overdraft and rebuild the buffer that I used to have. Not that the Surveys will be paying into the pot for a while.
I think I need a few more coin purses up on my Facebook page.
Time to wake Dgd.
Here is hoping for a less stressful day and positive vibes ahead.

Back at the doctors with Dgd. Ears again. This time it's the right side!
Could have done with working later as another 10 customers jobs added today. I am going to be working hard this week to get things done. Biggest is stopping work to deal with family and because of the dog. She has to give nursery a months notice so will only be doing enough to cover the fees and then will stop all together.
I am going to save £100-£200 a week on wages, but I will have to do her job as well as mine. So work will have to be until 5.30 every evening and I will have to bring work home too. The Seamstress is going to work an extra hour every day, on her days which is Monday and Tuesday.
I definitely will need to be super organised to stay on top of everything else.
Glad the winter is fading as my energy level and the mood swings should improve.
So all change once more. I am hoping that I will manage so I can pay my self a wage.

I hope you can manage.
Would DD not even consider doing one day?

She will do two days for the next 4 weeks. Then stop as her son will not be in nursery here anymore.
She will help me with Dgd and with paperwork or internet stuff where she can.

I am fine, it is my choice not to employ at the moment.

So, the day begins with my dragging my heels as I had another restless night and now this morning I have a tummy ache!
I am about to wake Dgd and then get my shower.
I have drafted in one of my friends who is going to help me with my decluttering and to spring clean my home.
I didn't get the garden finished after waiting two hours at the doctors it was 6.40 before I started to cook tea.
Today is going to be busy at work and at home as my to do list is growing.

I can do this!

You CAN do this.

Well we have been very busy at work and it doesn't look like any let up soon. 16 new jobs in today. 8 finished.
I will be working through as late as possible each evening after Shop hours.
My friend made a brilliant job of my kitchen, and bathroom and started in my sitting room for me.
I came home to a lovely bunch of daffodils on the table, and a washing load done. I was planning on hanging it out and cutting the rest of the lawn but it started to rain as soon as I stepped out the back door.
We are having heated up left over meals tonight. Hopefully I will get to Food Shop tomorrow. My fuel light came on on the way home so petrol tomorrow as well.

Lovely to hear you have had such support at home today Mooloo. Hope that gives you a much deserved morale boost.

Yes it was good to walk back in to the house and not have to have the overwhelming feeling that I still have to do the housework at the end of the day.
Today I am not going to my Mum's, I am staying home and dealing with my ironing pile, my clothes mountain and reclaim my sofa from under the clean clothes, and the side of the bedroom where I leave things when in a hurry.
My friend is coming back this afternoon so I want to show her that she has given me the momentum to do the rest.
I have a busy day ahead of me. Unfortunately I have a tickly cough and don't feel brilliant. But I cannot afford to be ill as the work won't get done on its own.
