So what do you do?

[JonathanM]

fair play mate i have to admit working with sick kids is job thatd reduce me to jibbering wreck in mins itd just be why why why

Lots of people say that but 99% of the time it is well worth returning a kid home after sometimes quite serious or life threatening problems. I don't linger on the other 1% of the time.

Hi Jonathanm, wonder if we have ever crossed paths, our youngest was diagnosed type one approx 7yrs ago then the following year coeliac. Mainly Southport hospital but was in Alder hey for biopsy for coeliacs. Friend of ours runs the local Southport & Ormskirk children's club 'The Lancelots'

I am what is called a Plater/Welder that is someone who can make or build most things that are made of metal, i work for a company called Wordsworth Holdings, what i am doing at the moment is making gates,grilles and all the matal work for prisons. The company used to be called Aveling Barford which made heavy earth moving plant that is where i served my time.

I sit in front of a pc all day on the phone selling car parts to the motor trade. Been doing it for about 9 years but at 2 different companies and as rbrt said about customers they never show gratitude or appreciation the 99% of the time things go right but moan like mad over the odd slow delivery etc.
The one major perk of the job though is the excellent staff discount scheme -groovy- that makes it worth the aggro.

Maybe. I work from Whiston Hosp covering all of St Helens area, a major part of Halton/widnes, and some of Knowsley - mostly the Whiston/Prescot area. I know the paed diabetes nurses up at Ormskirk (June & Leanne), can't recall if they cover your area as well, or if you have your own team? I know that the parent colleague who runs the st helens & halton childrens group (Lynne) has had some contact with the group in your area - she is a volunteer at the Diabetes UK office in Warrington and helps assist voluntary group set up. I also know the nurses down at Alder hey as well.

How old is your youngest now?

I work for a local authority visiting primary schools maintaining and installing PC's, Servers and Networks and I love it. I wish that I had gone to teacher training college but that's another story all together.

Yep, the very same June. I find her an extremely likeable lady - knowledgeable too. I'd heard she was retiring, wasn't sure if it had occured yet.

Hi Jonathon. Small world hey? Was telling hubby about this and apparently the wife of a bloke he works with is the diabetic nurse at Ormskirk??? He's going to find out her name, going back to June she really was/is a godsend. Cheers Angie
