Mooloo’s Managing it in 2018
Comments

Thinking of all your family today Mooloo - it's not going to be a happy day for any of the adults, but hopefully it will lead to the start of a better life for these two little boys who do not deserve the parents that they have at the moment.
Sadly, love alone is not enough - tough love is needed too - and that's what you, Biggest and her OH are showing now xxxx0 -
Tough being the operative word!
I have been lying awake since just before 6am trying to think positive thoughts, focused on the simple tasks of my day ahead. Because of the time shift I am unable to help Biggest and I unfortunately can't offer DS help either. He probably needs someone with him (and her) to compute what is going on. But I am tied to the Shop with a morning full of fittings.
I still have a very sad Dgd too. Her Mum sent pictures of the scan and the baby is due end of November. Then in the afternoon she had to take the little boy to the hospital, he has scarlet fever and is on antibiotics.
Biggest said that one of her boys was projectile vomiting yesterday afternoon. I hope it settled and she got some rest.
I brought some work home but really only sat for an hour and a half unpicking and preparation as I forgot to bring threads for the overlocker Home. But I did shorten two pairs of jeans.
I have managed to pay myself £100 drawings and the Mobile phone payments for the Shop phone, which comes out of my personal account because it's tied in with my Sky package at home.
I have even managed to get the business back in to the black. Not sure if I will have all I need for the rent by the end of the month, but at least I have half of it, and I know I have lots of jobs done and todo. So I am confident that this month we will turn it around.
Looking for the positive!When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.0 -

I do hope that the meeting this morning was productive, Mooloo - and that progress can be made in deciding the future of the two little boys - and that Biggest and her family can go back to happily awaiting new baby without feeling guilty. They don't deserve to feel guilty, any more than you do.0

Because DS and GF signed a safety agreement for Biggest to have the boys, they have to be approached and agree to them being placed in care (which I doubt they will do), and therefore there will need to be a court case to achieve this. So it looks like Biggest is still to have the boys for at least another few weeks. Which is not ideal.
DS and GF wouldn't allow social to come today and have agreed tomorrow. So I wonder what miracles they do with the house if any. My son is not talking to me but his gf has responded to my messages. Eventually. Apparently DS has some work at the Circuit today.
I had yet another visit from the artist when I came back from lunch this afternoon. I told him I was very sorry but I am too busy, that I won't be able to do any of his stuff until the weekend and that he needs to call for an appointment if he wants to chat ( and I will add it to the bill!)
I brought a few bits home to do, but I thought I better cut the lawn. Only to find the lawn mower really has died now. Wonder if I should borrow a few sheep? Or some goats!!
Dgd is an emotional wreck and every day this week she has hurt herself either at school, after school club and or out playing.
We have a friend around playing just now.
I have been waking very early so I am considering getting up to Sew in the morning rather than doing it tonight.
I will see in a bit if I get a second wind so to speak.When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.0
