MSE Parents Club Part 12

Caz When I win my new Stokke, you can have the old one.

I'm a bit rubbish with Manchester, but it's really easy to get to from anywhere North West.

I thought it was a long way for you to come for the meet, but if you're getting away for a few days on your own, it makes more sense.

Wherever you decide to stay, i'm sure it'll be near to one of us who can take you to the meet/meet you somewhere.

I wish I had a spare room so you could come here - but all I can offer is a bottom bunk or a blow up bed in the living room.


I've just been offered a lovely little break away, but it's Argyll and I don't know if I can manage to drive for 6+ hours.

what time is the meet? im looking at trains for that day but may come the day before and stay?

ETA train leaves Edionbutgh 7.42 arrives 10.56 and is only £19!

Think we said 11am meet at Heaton park, think SM's train from Sheffiled normally gets in at 10.20am.

That's cheap!

Gill - I find sometimes that T wants to go to sleep but just wont! On these occasions I try to make sure there isnt too much going on ie TV and washing machine at the same time as it seems to annoy her, also not too much visual stimulation. Once she's out I find I can put the noise back on and it doesnt bother her. Also I asked HV about her lack of sleep as some days she only has two (10/15min) naps and thats it. HV said some babies just doent need as much and even all those lil naps they have after feeding will add up. I dont know if that helps, but I do sympathise I find T sleeps much better with more daytime naps but its hard to fit them in some days with various activities and appointments.

EA - Yeay for Lily holding her bottle, hope the toy turns up soon. Oh any news on the flat?

MFD - Hope you get a god outcome today.

Fritha - yeay for C sleeping through

Becles - poor fur baby, Harvey had this in september and it caused me lots of sleep loss and heartache as he just wouldnt function with the collar, he would just stand in the living room and not sit, lie down, eat or drink. I had to call the vets in the end and she suggested hime wearing a T shirt over his back end , it looked tres funny but didnt bother him so way better as he could get on with everything including eating chews heres a pic.. I had to sew up the neck hole so it was only big enough for his tail and then tied it round his middle.

Well have a very rolly baby this morning, she keeps rolling on to her tummy and then lies there for 3/4 min and then starts shouting lol, she can nearly get back tho so maybe she's just practicing! I flip her back and she rolls back again *sigh* Had a hectic day yesterday with a ton of house work including emptying/cleaning out the fish tank as our last fish died. Also finally got around to opening T a savings acount

The budget has hit the family fund so that we no longer qualify. It's also hit other carers quite badly in that respite care and home help hours have been cut.

Caz, sorry, meant to say, well done on getting DLA for Charlie! Have you told tax credits? Make sure you do.

If you come to Merseyside i'd be happy to go out for dinner with you. (And take you to the meet)

My nearest is a Premier Inn, but it's quoting £60 for that night. (There is also a travel lodge for £32 but it's in the middle of nowhere)

Oooh, why, what's it done? Have you got a linky? I don't think we qualified for family fund anymore anyway.

Caz - If I knew I was definitely going and I had a spare care sat I'd offer to drive you.

When is this Manchester meet?

I am so rubbish at keeping up on this thread. Sorry!

Susan - Hope alice feels better soon, but you got to love the well timed coughs - Pick up your rubbish/tidy room - *COUGH COUGH IM SICK*
