    Busy busy day.
    Still getting new people in the shop on a daily basis. Habadashery sales were up today, and as it was a lovely day I stayed open with the Shop doors open while I sewed and caught a £23.50 sale at 5.25 when I would normally be closed at 4pm
    The work is coming in thick and fast.
    I am going to have to work tomorrow at some point even though I am officially on a day off, and I am helping with the boys tomorrow
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

    (((DGD)))

    I'm so sorry that DGD has had to put up with this at such a young age.
    I am so pleased that she has been able to tell you.

    I agree with supporting her and not treating it as a huge issue otherwise she may feel she is to blame.

    Do you think his mum will deal with him appropriately as I am wondering whether you should call the police?
    I know schools take these issues very seriously - would he listen to a headteacher.
    Obviously it is a safeguarding issue so they would report to Social Services.

    On a lighter note, I am helping Biggest with the boys this morning while she does a school activity with dgd2. It's also dgd2s Birthday today she is 7.
    So after school we will go back for a Birthday tea.
    I will have to alter a suit at some stage as I ran out of time yesterday. But I think I will go to work as soon as I do the school run and hopefully get it done before time at Biggests.
    The work is still coming in thick and fast. A 50 invoice book is now only averaging 10 days. (If which 3 1/2 days we are closed).
    It used to last 3 weeks, then just over two weeks.
    Plus more people bring in several items at once now.
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

    This book and this one is useful for keeping children safe.

    Mooloo i sent you a pm too.

    It seems that the links don't work. Both books are on amazon. Both are by Jayneen Sanders. My body. What I say goes! And Some secrets should never be kept.

    (((HUGS))) Mooloo. Poor DGD, but it's good that she has been able to tell you.

    Just tired of it all now.
