[alliwannado]

hello again , so sorry for not being intouch for a while but you know what its like with jobs and kids........... even busier now with the schools finishing, got 6weeks to fill up.
Anyway anyone fancy a meet up, in Calderstones Park or even day out at Father Teds or something similar.............. Bebby you about? fancy speke hall some day soon? just let me know.
Anyone new out there fancy meeting up?

Just to say hello to you all, and hope you have a great weekend. Looking forward to meeting up next thursday. Mishi - sorry about Adam not being well, my little baby is really poorly, had to take him the walk in hospital in old swan last friday, he's now on antibiotics. he sounds a bit better now though. he has a chest infection in his left lung, and i too have had a no-sleep week! Bron 42 - look forward to finally meeting you next thursday. I checked my calender and thought I was going to have to cancel as its the baby's second lot of injections, but I'm not going to do it as he only finishes his antibiotics on Monday, and I think he needs a bit of time to recuperate. So I'm still on for it. mummytosteven, i might have to give the frontline thing a miss on monday due to the above. i will see how he is though, but not much point taking him if he is not well will you be going on thursday though? hope to see you there. alliwannadoo, give me a call if you fancy pushing a buggy up the road to the neighbourhood for a coffee sometime. I can't remember the days you work, but Mondays and Wednesdays are good for me. (or fridays). Bebby - what happened to you?? are you still up for coffee/park ??

Love to all x

Hi Gang,

I have had a very busy half term, sorry for not being in touch, I think I will be around a lot more after Christmas, here goes the complicated tale of my childcare....

Mon and Tuesday I do not work, but ds1 is in school and ds2 has a full time nursery place which I am keeping open until Christmas so that I can claim some of my sanity back after nearly six years of being a full time working mum, however the nursery costs alongside my reduced pay in the new job are killing us, so from Jan my ds2 will be with me at home on Mon and Tue, so will be looking for things to do/meet ups etc, and I am more than happy to host meets at my house, I live very close to Calderstones park so we can always go out if the weather is good enough.

Friday afternoons I am home, but everything seems to happen on Fri morning when I am in work, so Mon and Tue are going to be the best days for me.

I am really keen on a night out as since I have changed jobs (Oct 6), I feel like I have lost my social life with my old friends in the last organisation I worked for, so been feeling really depressed, and the new job is quite a challenge....however the big positive is that I only work 2.5 days per week, yipeee!

So I keep dipping into the site to see how things are going but will find it hard to do meets until after Christmas, a night out would give me a chance to meet some of you and then maybe meet regularly after Christmas.

Eyelash, how is it going? I am amazed that you even have time to look on the site , that first year is a killer!

I will catch up again soon, promise - take care, it is great to see that more people are joining the site, bye for now .

hi all..had a trip to old swan walk in myself this morning and turns out adam has tonsilitis..am a bit annoyed as apparently GP should have picked it up on tuesday so he could have been feeling a lot better..never mind hey we live and learn...so a now has antibs and nurofen and calpol to take....bit of a nightmare to get him to take them but will endevour...any ideas on getting meds into a tots mouth am using oral syringe but he is spitting it out....sigh
take care

just a quick post for mts - I can venture into town this Tuesdat and wondered if you wanted to meet for a coffee about 11am. Bebby, or anybody else free to join us?

Mishi - very quick one as I am running out - point the syringe towards the inside of left side of cheek as you put it in - not to back of throat - nothing comes out. don't ask me why but it works. hope it helps x

eyelash - don't think i can make tuesday as DS has a stinking cold, and even if he was better, wouldn't want to risk him passing it on to little Jacob. sorry to let you down. would you be around next week at all?

Hi Leglebegle, will not be going to Frontline tomorrow as DS has come down with a stinker of a cold, so even if he's better tomorrow, don't want to risk passing it on to the little uns there. Hope George is fighting fit for Granmas on Thursday.

Mishi - sorry to hear that A is still under the weather, and hope the antibiotics kick in

Hi Bebby - nice to hear from you again. New jobs can be a bit overwhelming at first, I guess. Look forward to seeing you on the night out in December!

Live out in the wilds of Warrington!! Can I sneak onto your thread?

Hey everyone! Haven't been around for a bit, sorry! Still hoping to come to Grandmas on Thursday... Got Theo's first hospital appointment since his kidney op today though so it sort of depends on that...

Mishi we've had to give Theo meds since birth and he still spits the damn stuff out!!! We have to sort of put him in a headlock and shove the syringe right down the side to above his molars and squirt it reeeally fast and then clamp his mouth shut....we're such torturers!

Hope everybody's sweethearts stay well or get better quickly!

Hoping to get to Sticky Fingers too, so see the usual people there? If anyone wants to meet up next week I'm free Mon/Tue all day and Wed afternoon!

Hi MWNN - if you are prepared to venture into the wilds of Liverpool or Hunts Cross to meet us, we'll let you onto this thread!

Hi Fastasleep - I should be around next week to meet up, and hopefully will be at Sticky Fingers on Friday. Look forward to meeting you soon.

Hello everyone, sorry not been around for a few days, sounds like theres a few bugs going round etc hope your little ones are all feeling a little better soon.
I've just been to the Lakes for half term, lovely just what i needed.
Must catch up with you all, i'll be at sticky fingers on friday....hope A is feeling better Mishi....

mts - hope Stenen is better. yes I am around nex week so we can try to arrange something closer to the time.

Can someone remind me about the arrangements for sticky fingers

Thanks!! Though if the're any meet ups I'll need a map!! Always get lost in Lpool!!No pre-schoolers though- just 2 teens(Groan) and a 6yr old (Double groan!)

julezboo (julie)

Hey, Theo's fine as far as we know, apart from a possible operation on his other kidney.. he needs more detailed testing at the end of January and beginning of February...grrr it takes so long because the Gamma scans of his kidneys are so expensive for the hospital... I wish I'd arranged more to do this week because having Tony at home yesterday's made me all bored, sniffly and I don't know what to do to amuse Theo! Lol...oh well.. definately coming to Grandmas!

Oooh and hey and welcome to Julezboo and mumwithnoname, hope you like it here!

Hello mumwithnoname..... all your children at school then, lucky you! do you work or stay at home? Whereabout in warrington are you? Only know mothercare/Ikea area.

Julie met you on babycentre site, hope to meet you in the flesh (so to speak) soon.

Eyelash, we meet around 10am on fridays.

Catch up - whos going to Sticky fingers at 10am on friday????

Hi thanks for the welcome!I live in Bewsey which is about 5 mins from mothercare.Not very posh but I like it!!!

Hi all - I've lost track of who is going to grandmas on thursday? how many people am I looking out for??? I'll be there about 10.30am and will be with a little blonde boy who should be wearing his glasses - he's 2 and a half and I'm 34 and also blonde, medium build, name is Janine!

Me! will probably be 10.30 if not a bit later!

take care

I'll be the one with Mishi,obviously! With a teeny 8 and half month old in a carseat....

not sure yet about Thursday yet, a chance my mum can take DD for a while so can't pass on that one considering shes off to Goa soon for a while so will be my last chance for a few hrs break til near xmas probably but will be at sticky fingers friday so hope to catch you all there.

Hi All - welcome to julezboo and mumwithnoname. Count me in for Grandma's on Thursday. I will look for Mishi and fastasleep as I have met them once at Sticky fingers. Alli - will be at sticky fingers on Friday if you don't make Grandma's. Hope you all had a good half term week.
Sorry to hear of everyone's little ones being ill. Glad to say that DS's weepy eyes did not turn into conjunctivitis and he's fighting fit again.
