West London chat into Winter

[sfxmum]

hello folks chat away

sfx - can't offeryou a lift on 19th as I'm cming from somewhere else but can offer a lift home.

Saw the irish one today (dunno what her current nickname is!?) she seems well and happy.

hello all

vbus thanks for the company, hope the journey home was quick and easy, for me after fretting about trains managed to catch the early one.
had a lovely time

kewC thanks, looking forward to it, sorry you can't join us lordcopper

dd seems to like this weather sang all the way to school, scooting along wind and rain lashing about, bless must be those Scottish genes

and kewc by irish one do you mean the one that moved to Ireland or the one that moved to the south coast? either way glad to know they are well

too many irish people! The one who moved to Ireland

Sfx - thanks a for a lovely evening, the perfect tonic after such a hectic few weeks would be keen to go again in March! trains were perfect, was home by 11.15pm although couldn't sleep til after 1am as buzzed up on caffiene, aarrrgh. Glad your journey home was good

Good to hear Irish one is doing well

I'll book HP tickets later today

Copper - Hope you're feeling a bit better now

Hello!

How can 12 doughnuts cost 1 pound? Why am I affronted by the fact? Is it really that cheap to make doughnuts? I have lost touch with reality.

Exhausted from supervising two sets of homework. School has new reading scheme - Oxford Reading Tree. We've only had a couple but they seem so educational. The old ones were bizarre and funny and exciting. Bring back Story Street and Jeremy Strong!

lordcopper what doughnuts are those?

we have had the Oxford Reading Tree since reception when they were only pictures to be described by the children, I find them tiresome but hey

hope your day/ week improves

am home alone but can't wait to have them all in asap
cooking a stew with dumplings seems fitting

vbus I only just found out that the John McCusker is married to Heidi Talbot, it did feel there was something between them, but last I hear he had divorced Kate Rusby
anyway gossip of the folk world it all seems very incestuous
It's a date for March to go and cheer Roddy along

sfx - it's particularly upsetting since our old reading books were actually fun. Even I enjoyed them, with characters pretending to be dead so they can avoid their mother's cooking, which included things like peanut butter omelette and such like. Makes everybody smile. Even the wordless picture ones were funny. Now it's just bloody educational. Make sure you put in all the words to describe buttons. FFS. Harrumph. But it's early days. Hopefully there are more exciting ones to come. Otherwise we might have to boycott them and read our own books.

Tesco doughnuts.

Also very stressful trying to be all enthusiastic about the bloody reading books with DSs. Can only be enthusiastic for that long and then need to go and break something.

sorry to disappoint but they are dire, dd reads then to get it over with but moves on to her proper books

We also have Oxford Reading Tree, ds1 also reads it but moves as quickly as possible onto own books

This is a new experience. We used to have interesting reading books. >

Oxford Reading Tree here too, so dull aren't they?

Sfx - there I was thinking she was yet to meet Enrique

Just back from swimming and our adjoining fence with neighbour behind us has blown down. Who's responsibility is it to fix? Shared costs?

vbus still I think she will dump baldie if Johnny comes calling

sorry about the fence can't help there probably some archaic law will come into play although sense should be shared costs but who knows

I've posted elsewhere too so hopefully someone will have an answer before I go and talk to neighbour tomorrow, so annoying as will now probably have to replace whole length of fence not just the parts that have collapsed

Well at least he'll have Jordan to fall back on if she does dump him

vbus - sorry don't know about fence. Hopefully someone will know.

Just made pesto with pestle and mortar. Does make one feel better, this bashing of things.

"Oxford Reading Tree here too, so dull aren't they?" glad its not just me then

Morning

Sfx/Kew - Harry potter tickets booked 19th 8pm Can't wait!

Yet to discuss fence with neighbour will propose to split costs, will probably cost us more if we contact solitor to find out who owns the fence (unless neighbour knows)

Stayed up late icing cakes to latest school theme

Off out tonight for birthday meal but I think it will be a subdued celebration as DH still not 100% and I'm sooooo tired. Still it is a night out, woo hoo

vbus thanks for booking
enjoy night out

am waiting for dh to show up so we can go running for a bit, feeling really lazy

am v & to be missing HP!

vbus, enjoy night out, have emailed you btw

Hello!

Have just seen HP trailer. It looks really exciting!

Takeaway tonight. Have been cooking too much. Must become real person and have takeaways and tv dinners. Nothing on telly though...

hope everyone is having a nice weekend

tilly hope you got some sleep

went to town yesterday for tutorial it was at the LSE so stumbled on the Lord Mayor's parade preparations, lots of soldiers, sailors, floats with steel drums and so on all very lively and jolly

went running in the rain today, refreshing

It was nice to see you and your gorgeous son Kew, thanks for the book, which was stuffed into my ridiculously heavy hand luggage (they never actually weigh hand luggage or even check it fits into the measurung slot thing anymore, so it doesn't matter )
