Central London and City MN-ers PLEASE CHECK IN HERE

[Blu]

A thread just for a 'register'. Check in here to say you're ok - or flag up manes of others to check on.
Discussion etc on other thread.

Im ok, as is DP who works in Aldgate.

Kayleigh is ok - working from home today thank god

GoN - I think you are right - looking out the window onto City Road there are no cabs to be seen. Will just sit tight for now and hope that DH whereever he is, is nearer a mainline station and can get home.

Have spoken to childrens nanny and she will pick up from school as usual and stay with them as long as needs be. So know that children will be okay.

Marina - do your children need picking up from school? My nanny would be more than happy to do that and keep them with her until we get back.

Horrible vision of everyone having to sleep in office!

Soapbox, we have some lovely neighbours/after-school playleaders who may be able to do that for us. I will send my number to your yahoo account imminently though.
Dh has just left Baker Street for an 11 mile walk home, assuming he can get across London at all...

I just spoke to Kayleigh, she is indeed safe at home.

What a good idea Blu.

I am here (office), I am fine. Convoluted journey in, though.

Anyone going west (towards Paddington or beyond) this afternoon? Want to share a cab, or walk together?

THEY HAVE SWITCHED OFF THE MOBILE NETWORK SO THEY CAN'T BE USED TO DETENATE BOMBS

Have been watching the news stunned. Am working from home because I had to get ds1s new school uniform from the school he starts in sept, and uniform sale is today.

Am thinking of all of you and hoping you all get home ok, and that all the city mumsnetters are safe.

Thinking of you all down there. Take care! xxx

If there is anyone desperate about picking up children in East London, I've got a nanny and partner around...

Hester...and all the London mums from the October board, would be good to see that you're ok cos we're all hormonal like!!

Swiperfox - I'm here and OK. 1/2 mile from Aldgate, instructed to stay put and not to leave the office. DH work in Reading and will be picking up dd from nursery today.
