Mooloo's struggle with babies and bills

Savvy_sewing

Well my ESA giro arrived, but when I went to the post office to cash it she said it wasn't their code. ! This morning I have been on to the powers that be at ESA to ask which post office I was supposed to cash it at? Marston in Oxford!! Wonderful. Lucky I do go their isnt it! I said how did they dicide on that as I havent lived their for 2 years? (Marston I mean, not just Oxford.)
We must have used a previous history he said.!! I said I had given them my bank details so why are they sending me a cheque anyway? So I have had to give him them again, for the future.
The Social Workers are due today, (they missed last week,) so I will chasing what they are upto and if they still do not have anything sorted, I will be asking for the address and the name of thier superiors.!
Does anyone know how to get biro/felt pen off of furniture? The twins let the babies loose on my Cream chairs and they have drawn all over the seats!!
Asked why did they have a pen, the reply was they got it out of the drawer!, Why were they in the drawer? Dont let them, Oh we didnt see as we were watching TV!!! Aaagghhhh!!!!

Hairspray gets ink of clothes not sure about furniure though i would spray some on a cotton ball and dab it to see ...................it works on leather!

might be worth asking on the old style board about this. usually lots of good ideas

Hi always blot the stain never rub as the ink will sink further into the fabric. You can use nail polish remover,milk or as people have said hairspray. Someone also said oxy clean. You can buy ink stain remover from high street shops. Id try places that sell cleaners for car seats.

Right, I will go and try the hairspray theory as there is a tin of it beside me now.
Have DS and two of his mates trying to work out how to get the extension for the stairgate on! Its just a mess!! And fighting between each other is about to break out.... Well not litterally but the frustrations are definitely showing!.

Never did get the hairspray out, the Social workers arrived.! We are apparantly a source of discussion between the |Health visitors and the Teen support workers. The health visitors are saying that I should NOT be leaving the girls with the babies unattended at all!! They are trying to say that I am not to go to my BF's. The teen support workers are happy for me to go, as there are people arround who can help if I am not here. However Biggest of Mooloo is around so I really do not see what the problem is. I thought that as I was due to go to see him I better, quick, before somebody gets into thier bonnets that I am no longer able to go... Smacks of the first few months when Twin2's baby was born and Social got involved in the very beginning.!!

By the way, the stairgate was never sorted out!! Perhaps I bought the wrong thing completely. The second car seat arrived today. That is supposed to last now until the age of 11!! Lets hope its an expense that was worth it.
I am still searching for a twin buggy to be able to take both the babies out for a walk myself.

Last night twin1 went out to stay with her friend and she two left me with her baby longer then expected today. She didnt come home until 2pm, which has kept me busy with BGP. So much so that I was exhausted by the time twin1 got home, and I had to go for a lie down. I really have got to stop lifting them, (and trying to push the walkers with them ontop!!).

Mooloo I wonder if something like This would be any good rather than a double buggy, obviously it depends on the wee ones already have re transport, might be cheaper elsewhere though.
Oh it's in Argos too which might be easier for you

Hi the cheek of the health worker. So now you cant have any life or free time. Id be tempted to tell them to get stuffed.
Have the twins been assessed by family services. . They should go through your needs as a carer. Problem with the ss services and health is that their fond of telling people what to do but are unwilling to help.

Keeping_Motivated

Don't foster carers get paid? Yet they expect you to stay in permanantly and look after 2 babies for free and do their job for them? How easy would that be for them!!!!

I have just about had enough of being told that I am needed, but I have become ill, I have given up/lost my job, and am now on a lower income then the twins are! I am not sure what I am expected to do next!. I feel I have already given up a lot of my life. My BF and I had wanted to be together, and were expecting that in a little while we would have our own life. Instead it looks like I am unable to have my life anymore. I feel as though I am living on a knife edge. What will happen if I explode and say No. Somedays I just want to pack my bags and walk away.! Then I feel guilty that that is how I feel.
Where I go seems to come up with dead ends.

Today I have already been for my Accupuncture, and spoken to the doctor, I have arranged for twin2 to see a doctor and get an implant for contraceptives, but I have to wait until the 3rd March as the doctor that does them is away!.
Social worker was supposed to sort this out last week, or the week before, but nothing was really done so I did it myself. Again.
Today is my Mums birthday. So I am going to go and see them, Need to get myself into a more positive frame of mind before I go!!
Cup of tea time me thinks!!
