    Thanks MDW, I'm actually in quite angry at the lack of response to SM's efforts. I know some have given their reasons and that's lovely of them to explain but I can't believe with so many on this thread and looking at the time and effort some are putting in, train from London is amazing, that this is all that are coming?

    Ahhhh just had to pick William up from nursery with possible CPox! :mad:

    I dont think it is as he has about half a dozen spots that are pin head size...sure they should be bigger than this? another trip to the doctors I guess.. meant to be taking Henry to the theatre in a couple of hours....just what I need.
    Mum to 2 lovely boys who keep me busy.
  • Tara it is a little unfair to be angry at people because they can't make it or don't want to come to a meet. Birmingham is a long way for a lot of people, in the middle of the school holidays when people have a lot of other expense at the moment. Other people simply don't want to meet or don't fancy coming to Birmingham or have other commitments.

    I appreciate it is disappointing but nobody is obligated to attend and nobody should feel that they are in the wrong because they choose not to.

    I'm not angry because they can't come, I totally understand finances, commitments, travel etc MFD, I'm cross at how SM has been so ignored by some.

    Tara, I would really like to be able to come and I think SM has done a fab job of organising everything.
    Unfortunately, as I think I've mentioned before, I don't think it will be possible at the moment as my husband really doesn't understand me getting involved with an online group - he doesn't mind me reading and posting, but he would be really angry if I went to Birmingham to meet up with everyone and I wouldn't feel comfortable doing it without his knowledge, so until I can persuade him to change his mind about online communities in general, I can't join in :(.
    ;) Working hard in the hopes of being 'lucky' ;)
  • I don't think that not being able to come or not wanting to come is ignoring SM and her efforts.

    To be fair, there aren't even that many more people within travelling distance and even if they are then they should feel no obligation to come and no obligation to respond if they don't want to come.

    I hope nobody feels that they have done wrong because of your comments.

    Maz, is there no way you can get him into the Dr/nurse and get them to say it isn't and take him back to nursery?
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.
