Mooloo's Joining up the dots in 2017

I didn't sew a single stitch.
I spent time writing in my diary when I first arrived at work, and continued to write while popping down stairs to serve customers, we had plenty of collections, and I am pleased to say that I got about 7/8 new jobs in.
After I had written my thoughts and reiterated my dreams on the page, I got out the computer and started to update the accounts.
Which I worked on through the day.
I had two fittings just after the shop closed. One wedding dress and several skirts.
BF collected dgd from after school club and she went out to play until dinner was ready.
I used up the chicken burgers with sweet chilli sauce and basmati rice with the last of the salad leaves etc. It was yummy!
The evening was spent watching tv and chilling.
This morning I have a wedding dress fittings at 9.30 and a Back to Basic sewing workshop from 10-1 and children's lesson 2-3pm
Although the shop shuts at 2.
DS has said he will send me over £250 for the rent, and the same next week. I just hope he does.

Message from DS he's having problems sorting out using his banking at the post office so I have told him that I will go and collect the money on Wednesday when I go to my Mums as I pass his village. I am in Oxford at BF's house so too far away to just pop back. Warned DS to put the money away and not dip into it!
I didn't get the call from post adoption team I was expecting so it will probably be this coming week.
I thought the sewing class basics went well. I felt good about the information I was able to pass on, and at the end I remembered to tell them about the Sewing Club. One lady paid the £10 to join and got her 10% off of her unpicker, (seam ripper), and now she will be coming back for her supplies to get her discount. ( the hook I think that's called).
The children brought back the bunting they were making and we finished that. In our chat about the holidays etc, and discussing DGDs swimming with the dolphins, the eldest one said that she would be putting that on her bucket list. At 12 she has a bucket list! It lead to talking about dreams, visualisation techniques and time lines for goal setting!! Cricks!
The bunting was finished and next time they come we are going to make pj shorts.
I have a few part made pairs from a demonstration before so I will use them to demonstrate and possibly cut out some more for the earlier stages. Then finish a pair that dgd can have.
I walked too and from work and it was a lovely day, so we drove over here to Oxford on the back road with the roof down!
I have brought the laptop, the business journal and the diary etc with the aim of working on them today if BF doesn't have any plans for us. I know that we are having a roast lamb dinner as I got the meat from the butcher for him yesterday. God what a price at £18 that's so expensive it better be good!
Better finish my tea and get started on something else.

Morning.
I interviewed a new seamstress yesterday to help me with the alterations. I am going to trial her on Friday. Presuming that she will turn up. Ironically I am not very busy this week so far, so I am not sure what work she will be doing yet. However I have a few personal things that can be done to test her. She is a lady from Brazil and so speaks Portuguese, I may yet learn the language better.!
I became a little ill yesterday, I have a UTI, and then a sore throat, and by 6.30 I was in bed with shivering and a headache.!
Due to the UTI I was up and down to the loo all night.
But in between I did sleep mostly.
Dgd made me a cup of tea before she went to bed at 8pm bless her. Although this morning she is telling me she doesn't feel very well. I was supposed to be going to watch her school assembly today and then have a delivery here at home before I went back to work. So I have given her calpol and sent her back to bed. I will see how she is, and if I think she's just trying to get a day off I will take her in when I am going to work.
If she is ill, I will have to cancel my plans and stay home, which as I don't feel brilliant is inviting. However now staff works elsewhere after 2.30 I need to do the shop until 4.30 as I have fittings booked in.
For now it means I can take it slowly and get ready for later at a slower pace.

I managed to get £250 from DS although my transactions pending tells me that his DD has gone up to £418. And something pence, so I will have to hope that he also continues to give me back the rest each week. I will just have enough to cover it when it goes out tomorrow and I will need to find out how to pay the cash into my First Direct account as there is no physical bank. I am hoping that I can pay in over the post office counter.but at the moment I will be ok.
My glasses are ready for collection today so staff is going to open up while I pop to the optician.
The hamster has yet again gone missing! He can move the water bottle and get out through that. Dgd had a heavy book on top of the cage but he dislodged that around 12.30 last night as I heard the thud as it hit the floor! I went to check the cage and he was gone.
Hopefully we will find him together today in her room.
I am going to have to buy another cage if we do find him because I don't know how to hamster proof that one!!
I better get moving I need a hair wash before work today.
I had wet fabric hanging up in the bathroom yesterday so didn't do it last night. Hopefully the fabric will be dry now.
