I will cut my coat according to my cloth. {Edited by Forum team} 2019

I don't feel that I have much of a choice really. My Son does everything for the boys as it is. I will probably cook the meals in the evening as I cook every night anyway and it is such a tiny kitchen that two people can't do anything together in there. But I will not be taking on the main care etc.
At least they won't have much so he will have to keep on top of the washing! We will all need to be tidy to be in such a small space. But needs must. After the meeting last week at least I know that the powers that be are supporting the move here.
My biggest problem is that I have been working at home more and more and that will not be so easy to do with everyone here.
I will be building my summer house/workshop as soon as I can get the foundations sorted. I will have to use my available credit as I will need it sooner rather than later. My plan was to start in the house, save up the difference from the reduction in the rent and build later in the year when my savings had grown, my deposit was returned and I knew what work I still had.
Luckily for me the neighbours plan is to dig his trench for the water reconnections during the Easter holiday and he is going to remove my topsoil and a pathway for me. Then I can order the building.
I have got this.
I am stronger than I think. I once had the twins and two babies come home, so it's not the first time I have had to rearrange my life.

Thoughts are with you Mooloo x

Mooloo I know you have a lot on at the moment but have you seen this?

Looks like you are making the wrong things.

Mooloo, it sounds as if the excreta is going to hit the fan any moment now, so please make sure you have everything arranged as best you can. Think about what can/will go wrong and how it can be managed. At worst, you will be able to deal with problems without too much fuss. At best, you will never need to put the plan into action!

Yes, you are strong and you can do this. However, as Thorsoak says, you do need to look after yourself so that you are able to remain strong. Think of self-care as being essential, rather than a frivolous waste of time.

@Grumplestitskin - it is decades since i used nappies, I didn't even know there were different designs of re-usables! It does sound as if there is money to be made but probably only if one can catch the attention of one of the 'influencers'. It certainly wouldn't hurt Mooloo to check it out though.

Thinking of you, Mooloo and wishing you much luck - and love - I know that were I in your shoes, I would be doing exactly the same as you! xx

And so to bed.
The children went down quickly. DS and I watched light hearted tv and chatted in between interruptions from the gf.
Apparently her family who never helps or supports her have produced a moped for her to get to work. She walked home she said.
She also found money for electric as she was on her Xbox ( comes up on Dgds).yet they couldn't find money for the electric or milk for the kids?
I realise that my tiny house is not ideal and DS is sleeping on the sitting room floor and I will have to pass him at least twice to use the bathroom, as I have not had to use the camode for a long time. So it is under a pile of clothes.
Its very late. I need to sleep.
Ready to face the world tomorrow

Hope today goes as well as possible

My baby sitting duty starts this morning as DS is doing his HGV theory test today and I have my daughters children this afternoon. Luckily I don't have to do Mum as my sister is still here until tomorrow.
Babies slept until 6.45 so that was good. Although the lad did cry out in his sleep about 4.45 and I just popped in to sooth him. DS would not have heard him as he was not very loud but I didn't want him to wake up the baby etc.
My front door will be firmly closed if the GF turns up unannounced.
We will arrange for her to see them at some stage but we will need to make arrangements.
Priority today is to get DS some changes of clothes as he brought a few for the children but he didn't bring his own!!
Primarni this afternoon then!
