I wrote my letter of complaint about yesterday and my opinions and had a serious reply within a few hours, I have a more senior person coming to see me next week.
I noticed he added 3 others to the email.
Sewing slowly but getting some work done. Surprised DS returned home this afternoon, but he has a friend over stthey are in the garden huddled round the fire pit up in nomans land as we call the top 30 foot. I am going to bed.
Tomorrow will be better.

I'm glad your letter of complaint got a prompt response Mooloo.

I hope that you slept well and that Gd is feeling better today. I also hope that your family wake up and stop taking you for granted but I'm told that miracles take a bit longer!

Glad you got the letter of complaint done.

Today we made Knickers. I did a step by step photo of the procedure and put the results on the Facebook page. Hopefully it will draw attention to others for the next lot of courses.
It's always nice to take time out from the alterations. But not for long as they keep on coming in. All good. Although as I am not sewing as much as I was the income has obviously reduced accordingly. So I need to keep tabs on that.
I have had peace for the last few nights as DS went out. Dgd is not saying much as she's still unwell and staying in her room mostly. Although she did surface for a Chinese last night.
Mum is going to get a lift to her friends funeral on Monday, so I don't have to take time off. Biggest went to see her yesterday and bought her flowers. My brothers partner is coming over to the uk today, so he's saying that he will be cleaning out his barn while she is away, along with a written list of to dos, he joked that they were written in stone and Moses has nothing on him!! Haha.
Perhaps I should write DS's list on the whiteboard and head it with Mums Commandments!

Apologies if you think I am out of line but writing out the list for your son of your commandments might not be such a bad idea. Its possible, if your son has dyslexia, that he cant take too many instructions that he has to do into and retain in his mind at the one time. My daughter cant so a list is easier for her to remind her of what needs to be done and gets crossed out once completed. To save embarrassment its put on the inside of a cupboard door. Make sure its one that your son will frequently open and is easy for him to see every day. I do know you were only joking when you said it but might help x

I bought a few new whiteboard pens. I will try a list.
I had a headache yesterday evening so I didn't do anything really after work.
This morning I woke around 5.30 decided to early and tried to get more sleep. I got up around 8.30 in the end.
After a little reading etc I started to do my work I had brought home. So I have managed to shorten 6 pairs of trousers and a skirt, in two hours. So I have cleared all away now waiting for DS to bring the boys back here for their time with us. Although I was expecting them half an hour ago!
So cup of tea and a bit more of the marathon on the tv. I may even do some paperwork that I keep putting off!

Still no DS or children so a little annoying as I could have continued sewing and been creative. DS is really going to have to be more considered of the rest of us than he is currently.

Isn't going to happen though is it Mooloo (apart from occasional one offs after remonstration) So you need to continue living your live on your terms as much as possible and not curtailing your money making opportunities or general life.
He should be falling over himself to fit into your life, doing jobs around the house etc.

I wonder if the answer is to keep doing what you want / need to do, and if DS is back with the boys before you're done, then HE needs to keep them out of your work until you've managed to clear away.
