Wonderful Mnetters do you have any of these things spare and would be willing to post them to Trinity Rhino

[eandh]

Following on from the thread that started about shoes and escalated to nearly 500 posts and a boden coat Trinty has emailed me back and we have finalised the list of things needed, if people have these things/have sent them could you post on here so I can amend the list and ensure Trinity doesnt get 345 sippy cups but no tights for dd2

Trinity's wish list
Tights - ages 9-10, 4-5/5-6, 2-3/3-4
socks - sizes 6, 8 and 10
sippy cups -
sheets - single/double or kingsize
bedding - single/double/kingsize
clothes 12/14
adult shoes - size 6,
baby clothes for DSS2's May arrival,
towels
forks
asda vouchers,
chick lit
John Grisham
Toys for the dog to chew :-)
Large saucepans (lots of people to feed in that house!!)
Beautiful Boden COat - sorted by fab mumsnetters

If anyone would like to donate funds (we have enough to get Trinity her new coat and a little bit spare) the paypal address is [email protected] and anything we collect now will be sent to Trinity as Asda vouchers to help with Christmas food/bits shop (I asked Trinity how she would prefer the funds spent and this was one of the ideas and she would really appreciate this)

Thankyou all!!

Hear! Hear! well said

Post under your own name if you are uncumfortable with what is going on.

I know TR IRL. She came to my wedding 3 years ago.

Yes she did have a house, and plates, and bowles, and shoes, and clothes and duvets and all that stuff

And she had a husband who was earning money to replace that stuff.

Then her husband was on his way from work to look after kids so she could go to a parents evening and was hit by a big lorry, and he died. He was no longer earning money.

and Trin was upset and angry and broke some plates
her daughter was upset and pulled the stuffing out of some duvets

and the children kept growing, and their feet kept growing

and suddenly there is no money and no income and no shoes and no plates and no duvet and no bedding and no clothes

And there is someone saying "you are asking for too much" when all she ever asked for was new shoes for her children.

And I happen to be on the phone to her when you post that, and I know that you have made her feel shit.

So fuck off ButMiffedReally, because you have made one of my firend cry

If its that important to you, dont name change, yeah ok you will be flamed but hey ho, dont like it dont donate Or "contribute" to this thread

WELL SAID NORMA

If you don't want to read/help then don't but no need to upset Trinity, she has been through enough.

Knew there was something you weren't telling me before Trinity

So angry and upset for you

Trinty please don't feel down about this... We are all so happy to be doing something to try and help you however small. There is always some who buck the trend.. they are not important .... the ones that are are you and your children. We all know that.

It would help if I could spell! Oops

Sometimes I think it does some good to stop and think about whether your opinon really needs to be aired. Does anyone gain anything from hearing what you have to say? In this case no, you helped no-one. Does anyone lose anything from hearing what you have to say? In this case yes your post hurt someone who was already hurting.

Sometimes there is more value value in keeping things to yourself than in exerting your right to have your "say".

Please could someone send me Trinity's details as I would like to help - my email is etoilestar at googlemail dot com

I can't imagine what my life would be like without DH. If I can do anything to make someone who is suffering in the way TR is I am pleased to be able to help.

aJumpedUpPantryBoy give me 10 mins and the details will be with you x

Thank you

Stressed, could plse also email me TR address

missblackberry at hotmail dot co dot uk

Many thanks

And I would loke to point out again that she only ever asked for shoes for her DDs. Everything else has been because people wanted to help and asked for further suggestions.

I am quite angry that you have made someone who did not want to ask for help, who felt bad about it, who was humbled and embarassed and moved, feel worse

and you are cowardly for name changing

I, and others, spent a lot of time persuading Trinity to do a list.

Yes, you are a coward. And you have hurt someone who is going through one of the worst situations any of us could ever imagine.

Shame on you.

I have not posted on any of TR's thread but am so saddened that someone could post these hurtful, horrible comments...why??? isn't TR hurting enough.

I would very much like to send something I have three boys and always have boys clothes i have some newborn bits I could happily send if i knew what she needs the most?

what an evil bitch you are BitMiffedReally

trinty did not ASK for the things on this thread till we asked her what else she needed

we on mn want to help, and if that means sending something we dont want/cant use to a home that it can be used in then fab

i dont know trinty but was more than happy to contribute cash and sign the card when her dh died, and also more then happy to have send money/stuff now

i hope bitmiffedreally you never are in the devasted state that trinty and her family are in now

And from trinitys posts throughout both threads it is so so clear that she is so grateful, thats why we're here.

you going to keep hiding behind your new name?
maybe it should be bitcowardlyreally

posted address to ajumpeduppantryboy (brill name by the way) and to Brokenflipflop. Please post if you don't get in next 5 mins.

nicolamumof3: DSS baby is unknown gender for a few more weeks so people been sending unisex bits for baby or whatever they have with instructions to pass on if turns out to be wrong colour. cellular blankets, gro bags etc. Would you like address?

As eandh called a halt on parcels earlier today woud someone closer to Trinity then me opine on whether nicolamumof3 shoud send now or hold on until sex of baby determined? Thanks

bitmiffed - I can see your point but I have a house and all the bits but we break plates and cup, lose cutlery (mainly t-spoons) all the time. Every now and again we have to restock the cupboards - I am looking at doing it again in time for Christmas as we don't having 8 matching dinner plates right now If money was a big issue it would be a problem.

Why did you name change btw?

OK, just back from hols, and seen this (and am too lazy to read back all the posts ) . Do you know what colour DSS's baby is? I have given all my unisex baby clothes to a friend who has a little boy, but I have some divine little girl clothes that are begging for a new home.....

Ooops, x-posted with stressed - will wait and send them if appropriate (and still required).

trinity, do u still need single duvet sets? i have a couple of simpsons ones which would be nice for dd1 (was it dd1 who you said loves simpsons?) they are quite boyish ones, and they need a wash after being in the loft but i am happy to send them to you. much love xxxx

i think i might not have any neutral left i think i recently passed those bits on, i do have grobags also have hooded towels that are unisex so can happily sort through and send any unisex items i can find? then if any boys bits are needed i can happily send those later? Much rather they go to someone who needs then sit in boxes, have lightweight mamas & papas grobag that would be good for summer baby actually.

sparklycherrybomb eandh who is briliantly coordinating this called a halt ealier today on parcels to stop Trinity going under 1000 parcels being delivered. However DD1 loves simpsons apparently so I think an exception should be made - eandh blame me if you disagree.

Do you want me to send address? x

i have trinity's address already stressed. thanks anyway xx
