MSE Parents Club Part 4

SM - is there anything in the city centre or on a bus route? There must be somewhere with some people on your wavelength?


Not sure I have met any proper 'friends' yet but I have met some nice people and Benjamin has some little friends...gotta be worth it!!

We went to the beach which was trickier with Maddy but nice to get out. Ben's off to Birmingham tomorrow for his birthday present, Walking with Dinosaurs show, OH is taking him and I so wish i was going! :rolleyes:

Thanks for nappy tip Mrs M, just done an online shop so will log in again in the morn to have a look. I trid to look at shoes Sami but link didn't work for me.

We are going to Walking With Dinosaurs on Saturday!!! I am SO excited already!! I really wish we could take Benjamin because I think he would love it (he is so nosy!!) but the tickets are a little bit too expensive for a littley!! Do you think I could sneak him in??

scruffy ... short nope ... even shorter .. no ... no one i know will go with me apart from philip and the kids i have a friend but shes far to self aware and complains shes to fat i feel the same way but i need to get out and do something 5 days a week in the house min is getting boring ... im meeting my work friend for lunch on monday and im looking forward to it as it gives me something different to do x

I agree with net mums too! I've been in touch with a few mums but haven't got round to meeting any yet. My group does a once a month meet with the children, and a once a month mums only meet to the pictures or something - but i only really joined just as the school holidays were starting, so i'm planning in joining in something in September.

Mel - i take it you have a Cheshire net mums? Mine is South Wirral and they do there kids meets at Eastham Country Park which is probably about 10 minutes away from you.

SM - my problem is that all my mummy friends, are mummy friends from when my older two were babies so they're now at the stage that they've got their lives back, are working again and have no interest in sick & poo! (And they think i'm a bit mad for going back to it!):rotfl:Theres a couple of girls in my road with similar aged babies, but they're about 18 so we have nothing in common!

trust is the issue with me .. anyone new i meet espically females i think they're going to back stab me (happened enough) but i think its time to leave the safety barrier ... none of friends apart from one has kids but shes either busy or at uni or something not only that and dont get me wrong i love her kids but her youngest (1 and a half) is a handful and when hes with us i cant speak as hes always doing smething he shouldnt also shes not very girlie i like the whole lave the kids at home for a couple of hours shop and a coffee shop chat ... she aint x

Elle are you there somewhere, How did Ryhs get on at his app? I hope all is well, no doubt you'll be on with an update soon. You were only a way one night were you? Someone correct me if I'm wrong which I'm sure you will!!!!

Hiya, I'm here Been catching up..

MFD, congrats on finishing your tender How long til you find out if you've got it?

Hurrah for all growing babies Rhys was 40g less today than Tuesday at the HVs but that's nothing to worry about apparently (nappy on on Tues but not today). He's 48cm long now.

Appointment went okay. Sometimes I wonder why they drag us all the way down there as they only want a chat and to do bloods which they could do over the phone and have Grimsby do the bloods, but hey.. Had extra bloods today so we don't have to go to the Unit tomorrow morning for the repeat - Notts will just phone through the results, so fingers crossed it was enough time for the calcium levels to drop otherwise we'll end up having more done on Saturday

Basically, the specialist is happy that Rhys' kidneys are working better and explained it as "buying us some more time" before further treatment (aka dialysis or transplant) is required. We did already know this, but obviously it wasn't nice to be reminded of it. We don't know how long his kidneys are going to "last" for - it may be that they get good enough to cope with processing the crap from a 3stone body, but not a 4stone one so that's when we have to start looking at other options. We just need him to be as big as possible if/when the need for a transplant comes up as then he's got a better chance of getting one - as horrid as it is to say, there is about a zero chance of him getting a transplant now (thankfully he doesn't need one now, obviously) because there are no donors of his size, iyswim For now, it's just more monitoring, meds and 3monthly apps at Notts.

After the hospital we went to Ikea. Got a few small bits and have decided on a table, chairs and sideboard - amazingly easily as OH was adamant he wasn't getting rid of the table his parents [STRIKE]offloaded onto[/STRIKE] gave him. Going to ask my parents to look after Rhys for the day sometime and go back to get them - I don't think Ikea deliver to our area.

I've been feeling really stressed and on edge all day Snapping at OH but then he has been incredibly stupid sometimes so I think it was justified :rolleyes: Having a cuddle with Rhys now.. he should be in bed, but I've missed out on our usual cuddles all day so I'm making the most of it
