Hi Mooloo

i have just read your thread from the start and really don't know what to say !!! You are a truely wonderful and inspirational person

I really hope things start to get easier for you and your family. Also in the future, once all your family have grown up, you no they will always appriciate what you have done - you are giving those precious babies a great start in life by being there for them.

Sending you all my love

Thank you for those kind words. I dont really think I am that wonderful., just an ordinary mum really. I would think all of us would do what I have done, if they were in the same situation. It would be a hard person to turn away their family when they are in need. I must admit it can be hard, but I dont suppose I would have been able to live with myself if I had turned my back on them. (even when I am most angry with them, I dont think I could).:D
The meetings and the help from outsiders sometimes I feel its necessary and othertimes I think that it is just way over the top.
Yesterday twin2 and BBJ went to the fathers family for the day, I was at work, and then I have come to my BF's for a little light recouperation!. I think coming to his house lets me reguvinate my batteries and have a bit of a life away from the bedlam that is home.
Tomorrow my eldest daughter is coming from Towcester to see me, and to help me to turn the junk room (all those boxes etc that have not been unpacked yet, ) and all the toys that my DS has stashed away,) into a baby friendly room. :T
I plan to have just bean bags and baby boxes of toys etc. No adult TVs and computers, and just things to stimulate the babies, (and get the mums out of the front room and doing things with the babies. ), I have decided that there are too many distractions with Sky Tv, Xboxes and DVD/s etc. So the girls will have to start to incorporate more play times for the babies. Well thats the theory anyway.
I would have done it myself, but I cant move any of the stuff, and every time I try to get the girls to do it, the babies need them, (or so they say), so its not done. DS is disappearing every time I ask, so he has been warned he must be at home on Monday, and everyone is going to do that room.!!
I actually came on the computer to see where I can get some bean bags, and of course I have ended up on here.
Twin2 has just phoned me to say they have run out of nappies!! Great, now I have to go shopping and get Nappies as they dont have any of thier money left.
I had not planned on spending today!!. :mad:

Do the babies have the same size nappies - could one twin borrow some from the other? They're going to have to learn to watch how many they have left sooner or later?

Bean bags for you to look at and decide what style you'd like:

And possibly try to get the money back from them too? That way they know how much they cost (rather than just knowing IYSWIM)

There is not a lot of difference between them, so today I bought 2 packets of Sainsburys own size 4 nappies. £13.00. Multi buy saved 94p apparantly. They now have 62 nappies each!. I resisted looking around the shop for anything else. But DBF saw some plants on 3 for 2 offer, so we got those as well. We have been doing his garden most of the weekend. Well he has, I cant do much, pass a few tools, fill a few pots with compost and keep him supplied with cold drinks!.
Thanks for the links for the bean bags, I am going to have another look now. While he is cooking the evening meal.
I have been back home to check that they are both doing oK, and have decided to risk taking the rest of the day away as well. Tomorrow we will be blitzing, so todays my day of relaxation!. A girl just has to have a day with little to do sometimes. I cant do that at home!.

Well yesterday didnt go to plan. This time it was not the girls faults, the assistant manager at work, called in sick, (well text actually) and so I had to go and open up the shop instead. So I worked the bank holiday. Today I have to go in early, as the centre is testing the alarm systems.!!. My eldest daughter decided not to bother to come up as I wasnt going to be home. Pity as perhaps she could have motivated the rest of them to attack that room. So no baby room ready yet.
I did start cracking the whip so to speak when I got in from work, but I was trying to organise the evening meal, and look after both babies. Luckily my BF came around, he brought my Tomato plants and grow bag around for me, and he helped with the grandchildren, while I tried to organise things. I felt a bit guilty that he was here and I was busy doing something else. I know its crazy. I should not worry. Pity he didnts stay a bit longer, as the kids stopped doing as soon as he had gone. When dinner was over I continued to sort through bags and boxes for an hour or so. But I had to give in by 8.30 I was exhausted. I must be firmer with them, as once they had the babies in bed they did nothing but watch the TV.!! (Where is that knife to cut off the plug!!).
I had to make do with bought in Sandwiches yesterday as I hadnt any defrosted stuff for making my own, so I spent £1.30. The only sandwhich in the co-op left as it was gone 3 before I got my lunch.
Today I have taken bread and ham out of the freezer and I hope to make my lunch before I go. Not sure if I am going to do a full day today or not. My arm is telling me, you must be joking today, but I dont know if the assistant will be better today or not.
I would have gone to see the physio today if I could, but I cant find out until later if she has any free appointments, and with assistant off yesterday I am presuming she has not had a miraclulous recovery?
Time for a shower and see if I can get moving. I am struggling this morning.

I know it's more money, but would something like this be of any use?

Thanks Js_other_half, I have had a quick look, but I think tht they would just pull it out and re plug the tv in. They are 19, and although they have problems they are good with gadgets. (unfortunately).
:rolleyes:

According to the blurb it says the plug is locked into the gadget?
