West London chat into Spring

[sfxmum]

thought I would start a new one

it is rather dull but I saw many lovely birds outside while I plodded along by the river

regarding dirt there is a lot to be said for letting it where it is I suppose there is only so much that can accumulate, no?

Copper - that sort of stuff only gets cleaned once a yr in a Spring clean in our house Enough time spent cleaning the dirt that is visible!
you've reminded me that must call window cleaner

Have you tried tent yet?

Was hoping weather would be bit brighter to go to park after school but tis pretty dull, ho hum indoor activities it is. DS1 is v. excited as they have chicks about to hatch at school, cute!

Not tried tent yet. Plan for the weekend. Now thinking about getting a tiny table. Like this.

Dust behind desk/bookshelf/wardrobe will be cleaned out if and when we move out. Is that not good enough!?

I thought you were trying to use as few items as possible due to size of car?

Table looks cool, but then you'd need to buy chairs too, how will it all fit?

We have 2 foldaway stools you can borrow, mega light and easy to carry/store

We have chairs - they are a bit big though. DH bought them. If it had been me they would have been much smaller ones. I'm much much better at buying things. . Maybe we'll go for this one.

Oh those are the stools we have! But not seen with attached tray before, that's innovation for you

Tilly pre sale tickets for Biffy supporting the Foos in May go on sale today should you be interest in link let me know

I love the Foos and have seen them about 5 times!

I'm quite to learn that we'd been targetted as part of a scam . To cut a long stressful story short, a surveyor who'd previously been struck off (we only found this out today) misled us and said he was representing our neighbour tried to get £1100 in fees from us . My spidey senses were tingling and this man seemed quite dodgy, thankfully we uncovered the truth about him and no money changed hands. This building malarkey is complicated enough without such conmen around. Enough drama for me today.

Vbus that is awful but glad sorted before any damage is done
Re Foos I can imagine the combo show will be a riot they are all very energetic, crowd pleasing bands

There are a few things I would like to book but already have things for May maybe some last minute April and June would be nice then give it a rest until after the Summer

visited aunt today, local criminals refrained from shooting at stations which was a relief

hope everyone is well today

Hi, nearly Friday, it's been a long week! That said, every time I see the news I shudder, what horrors going on, words fail me . A few surreal interludes at home. We had a "comic" moment with a new table - realised perils of internet shopping. I checked width and length in online details but didn't pay too much attention to height... I mean all tables are fairly standard aren't they? But it's really tall. I mean really, really tall. DH is 6'4'' and it works for him, but the rest of us (especially girls) need cushions! Poor DS1 looks like she's eating off a high shelf. I fear it will become less funny as time goes on. Or do I use it as an excuse to get new chairs? Can't really justify it though...

Vbus - well done for spotting scam, glad you weren't stung.

Sfx - is that Biffy Clyro? if tickets going I'd be interested and hopefully around so just let me know if you still fancy it and when it is etc. Otherwise, we can just do another time when it's good for more people .

Copper - what's all this about tents? I think I've missed something. Hope it's for a nice holiday coming up.

Take care everyone.

sfx, am interested yes , when are they playing?

Hello!

I am going to hibernate. There are nutters out and about. Already had to do two emergency braking in two days - nutters deciding to step out in front of car. What is wrong with them? It's just not safe out there.

And DS1 went and fell and knocked his head. Bad graze, but hopefully nothing worse than that.

vbus - good spider sense!

Kora - get new table! Tent is for camping . Don't think we can get away with permanently borrowing sfx's tent after she lent us tent and various equipment when we tried out camping last year.

Hello, can I ask what this thread is about?

Ah OK I see its a Richmond local thing - sorry came up in most active and I just saw West London - until I posted and then the forum title came up.

As you were.

La fheile Padraig shona duit

Vbus that's horrible - glad you found out in time :)

The Small Print - well its west london (and um, west of Ireland )

small print, not just Richmond, a few of us are Brentford/Isleworth/Ealing as well, you're most welcome to join in

gig is June and sold out unless you lot would like to go over to the States their tickets for this joint venture are going on sale

hi all been last minute babysitting for a friend now to put feet up, all a bit late today but so glad it is the end of the week

I think Anais Mitchell still on sale for Bush Hall

Kora get another table don't they do returns?

copper there are indeed a lot of nutters out there of assorted varieties, I in fact may be consider one by some foolish people

Ah ha, my old stomping grounds! I'm from Ealing (and worked in Brentford for many moons in The Butts) but moved to the sticks a few years back.

So what is the thread about other than West London?

nothing in particular really just random chat we do sometimes meet up and drink too much, well some do

mostly its about cooking and camping with the odd gig thrown in for sfx who likes to pretend she is still hip and trendy and we are too scared to break the bad news to her

blar de blar blar to you too foxie

oops no not foxie

kora if you were my sister you'd just take a saw and chop 2inches (unevenly) off the legs.
