Awww Gill, you must have had a fright. Holly chokes all the time and we are so used to it that one day when she was properly choking, we hardly batted an eyelid! She is always choking on her water from her sippy cup. She is older than T though but what you are doing sounds fair enough. Not sure whether the raised mattress will make any difference unless he is congested, but it won't do any harm so worth a shot! Is the moses basket by your bed anyway because I'm sure you would hear him if he did start coughing.

If you are worried, you could always call NHS24 to see if they would suggest anything. Or maybe someone else here will have some good advice.

I think he may be congested as he has been snorting a lot, esp when he gets worked up or has been lying down a while.

His basket is near enough touching my side of the bed so as long as I'm not in too deep a sleep then I should hear him no problem.

I'm getting him weighed tomorrow at the nice quiet baby clinic so I'll ask for their advice as well

ok plans so far are that i can get the train from here at 6.30 on wed and get to manchester piccadilly at 10.50 althought im unsure how far away train is from the meet? so have also looked at train the night before and hotels.

I will have to get the train from liverpool (lime street? i used this as SB said it was the one?) to manchester, then manchester here. A bit of a carry on but a lot cheaper! train times would be 15.13 or 16.52 could do earlier or later as im not sure about your school runs etc? let me know whats best for you. As for hotels im lost lol!

If it's better for you to go home from Manchester, I can take you to Manchester rather than Liverpool. It doesn't really make a lot of difference to me, i'm in the middle.

Am I getting this right:
You're coming to Manchester Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning.....
You're staying Wednesday night in Merseyside;
We're having a day in Liverpool, with SB, on Thursday?

You (with or without Erin) are very welcome to Livs room on Wednesday night. If you're not comfortable with that, there are the travel lodge ones for £32 a night in Eastham or Bromborough which are near to me, or lots and lots in Liverpool city centre.

Thursday can be spent in Liverpool with SB. Then you can either get the train from Liverpool Lime street, or Manchester so long as i'm back from dropping you before 3.15. (I'm 45 min from manchester).

3 - please call SS tomorrow, preferably in tears because that seems to be the way to get things done, and tell them that you have had more help in 2 weeks whilst he was off than in 5 weeks from him and that your family desperately needs the support of someone who will try to help. What a t0sser.

Would J eat or drink something that he took to school himself?

5 Years we've had him - and he's done !!!!!! all to help. He comes out once a year and asks how we're doing, and me, being me, says yes thanks, we're fine.

He took his favorite cup for his cup of tea, and cartons of ribena today - he never turns down either.
He turned them both down.

He's been on packed lunch since September as the dinner hall is too noisy, but no, he won't eat.

Parents evening was last night, and his teacher (who's lovely) was concerned that the not eating/drinking is now becoming a power game with J. The try their best to get him to eat/drink, and J is laughing when he's not. With the weather being so hot, he must be absolutely gagging for a drink. I must say, he's a bl00dy stubborn bu66er! I don't know where he get's it from. Anyhows, i'm not too worried about the food as he doesn't stop eating when he gets home from school, but the drinking is a worry. He was holding his tinkle as if in pain this morning, if he's dehydrated he can get cystitis type feelings, can't he?

3, them that shout loudest gets!!! Make a real noise, and tell them you'll take it higher if you don't get a new one. To their inspection body.

That seems to be the rule. Mum moans at me because I manage too well and look ok. She say's i'll get nothing unless I phone crying and look like shoite with no make up when they visit. I just can't.

I'm off too. Fingers crossed for good sleeps for everyone!

Goodnight. x

No, D is 2 days older than H and still gummy :rotfl:although we are very close now - you can feel the sharpness beneath the gums IYSWIM . Thank you for searching for me on FB! :cool:

Right, people in/around/near Liverpool-ish - is anyone free for an impromptu meet on Monday? It needs to be somewhere with good public transport since I won't have the husband or the car.

I'm free - get me and my billions of meet ups next week!

City centre suits me, I can get the train from over here.

I'm halfway between Chester and Liverpool, pick a venue and we can be there.

Are you coming for the weekend in Liverpool and then staying for the week to do your interview?

Caz - hope you saw my edit

Quote -ETA Just seen your other post. Picadilly is aboput 30 mins ish from the meet but I could come for you and we'd just be a bit late? Or Jillie could hang on with SM for you? Would be cheaper than paying for another hotel for you...

if ya need anything else, just let me know.

Off to bed now, sleepy vibes to all xxx

Keely that's awful, no one should have to live like that :mad::mad: I get apprehensive everytime i walk down my street in case i see them but i don't have much reason to feel this way, so i can imagine how awful it is for you.

Sorry i was so wrapped up in all the crap from earlier that i forgot to say....

Yay for Amber #1's tooth :j :j Finally!! Are there any more looking like they'll come soon? My Amber got her 2nd within days of her 1st. She chomped on my toe earlier and she giggled when i squealed, cheeky monkey :rotfl:

Congratulations on getting an interview Sugar, i hope by east midlands you don't mean anywhere too close to my evil ex, cos you might smell him from there

Redstar - Freddie is a big boy for 11 weeks! I can't remember Amber's weight then but i do know it was nowhere near that!!

Congrats on passing, 3's OH - so does this passing out thing mean he's a fully fledged plod now?

SM i have to admire the way you take your frustrations out on the gym, i tend to take mine out on the biscuit drawer (see a tin just isn't big enough :rotfl:)

Glad the physio finally cracked a smile Elle, Rhys is such a big clever boy

Tara is Ben feeling ok? Bless him. How do LED balloons work? They sound amazing!

GISI i'd also quite like to do the peer support. The HV's asked me to do it when i had my DS as they wanted a younger BF'er (i was 18) to help encourage other teen mams, but i went back to work at 4m and stopped BF'ing before that.

I can't remember if i had anything else to say, now i'm off to the biscuit drawer :rotfl:

Yes, he's like a proper one with cuffs and spray! It's such a shame we're not in your area, i'm sure I could convince him to come and pepper spray your ar5reh0le neighbours. :rotfl:
