Dgd keeps telling me she misses the boys is not helping, and trying to be positive about it all is difficult but necessary.

In these situations I often advocate the dripping tap / change the subject technique.

"Yes darling, I miss them too. Now, what shall we have for tea tonight?" Or whatever.

Dgd calmed down, had another cuddle and then retreated to her room and gadgets.
We were both tired and in bed by 9pm
I woke a couple of times, but not too bad a night, although I still feel tired. But that's a normal night for me before we had the boys.
I woke about 6 but went back to sleep for a little while.
I did not set my teasmade so I am about to go and make my first cuppa of the day. I have been trying to visualise a good day, and a successful one.
Fingers crossed.
I am back at work this morning.
I hope that I will get some reasonable amount of work done and can contact customers to collect ASAP.
There are only 4 things not collected from the Shop next door.
I will get them back, and the rail, and hopefully be back to normal very soon.
I was able to bank £405 so I am happy with that considering we only worked two days the week before and only staff did this week.
But I am going to have to be lazer focused to catch up with the older jobs staff didn't do. She did the priority ones and prom etc ones.
Time to wake Dgd.

Hope your day goes well.

There are an awful lot of people sending you massive amounts of encouragement and well wishes Mooloo. And I'm sure if wishes work you'll find strength and peace of mind to enable you into the future.

Hopefully you'll get the business sorted soon, which will help, and your life can get back into some kind of routine. Take care of the things you are able to, and remember tomorrow is another day.

((((hugs)))) XX

I!!!8217;m glad you both got it sorted and calm. Must be very difficult for you both.
Keeping busy should help.

I am trying to stay busy and positive.
I have decided to give another Seamstress a trial next month. Given her a three months trial (so either can exit if it doesn't work.) hopefully she will then be able to help keep the Shop open in future.
There were quite a few customers in today with new work.
I did Sew but I wasn't on peak form. But every job finished is a bonus.
Dgd is out enjoying her bike and her friends.
DS didn't respond to my messages but his gf replied that she was "raw, and broken " I replied that she needed to use those emotions as a strength to sort themselves out.
Who knows!
My brother is ringing me every day. Considering it's a mobile phone it must be costly from France. We usually talk on Skype.

Keep plodding xx

DS has been in touch over messenger last night.
He has hit the bottom and I fear he may well be suicidal. He is currently in victim mode, blaming him self through others eyes, and has admitted he is lost.
It was a long session of too and fro.
I have suggested he comes to see me at the weekend and we try and work out what steps he needs to take, but he needs to want to help himself.

This.
As you know you can only do so much.

Spoke to DS so that's a relief he didn't do anything stupid last night.
Suggest (after asking her), that he could go and visit his Twin2 sister, as she is the one who knows exactly what he is going through. Two she is down south and away from the people he hangs around with here.

I stayed at work until nearly 6 tonight and I have brought work home to do as I have to wait in for a parcel tomorrow.
My Saturday girl is opening up for me.
