West London Chat Summer/Autumn

[vbus]

ooh the excitement of starting a new thread

here for the abbreviations and acronyms commonly used

dd is on big girl mode with new enormous desk, is lamenting the lack of homework poor child has been overcome with tiredness

take away today I think

:) sfxmum Thank you! Some i never heard of before. Funny :)
Take away over here too :)

Can anybody recommend good sushi restaurant in the area?

Island- Sorry, don't know any sushi places. Where in Denmark are you from? There are lots of activities for kids but you have to be quick as places get snapped up quickly. I booked dS1 for 3days with the Koosa camp, the 1st day was free, what a bargain

Sf x- well done on desk!

Bushy park was fab, but only just back and pretty much chucked kids straight into bed, they're exhausted. None of the kids wanted to leave they were having so much fun in sand pit and running around. We are having ready meal tonight, Dh isn't even back but I think I might have to open the

forgot to add we're having it with homegrown courgettes!

Hello!

tilly/Kew - am happy to wait till 28 August, but if you can't wait and can do earlier time go ahead!

We always chicken out of holiday activities and just end up doing random thing here and there and covering all the days with either me or DH taking time off, or kids go to our most fabulous childminder friend.

We had fish fingers and chips. With homegrown lambs lettuce.

Islandhaze - we are near Ealing. Fantastic Japanese places in Ealing. Kiraku, Momo or even Okawari. We went to Sen Nin which is OK too.

sfx - poor girl is delirious. Homework is the invention of the devil.

Yeah! No homework for weeks!

We are from Copenhagen, Frederiksberg, if that says anything.
DH got hired here, so we moved along.

UptoapointLordCopper thank you for the names, we will check them out ;) Although there is so many great places here in London, that we dont even know where to start :)
It is still hard to pick the summer camp place, as i just found school, wich was the priority thing to do...now will go for a camp :)
Have a great evening ladies !

hands are sore and have a few blisters, the joys of assembling furniture

dd finally in bed,must change bedtimes in readiness for festival, last year missed my most anticipated set because she was cream cracked

what on earth is going on in Norway? loonies got a bigger map?

Just saw the news.

Practically all the headlines are truly awful today, what a time

coppers are here again because they tried to steak our bikes AGAIN

yep depressing headlines all kinds of wasted lives

not steak steal

Sfx - that is terrible, hope they didn't get away with anything. Was anyone caught?

Yes lots of news

Hello!

Lovely weather. Should have gone camping this weekend!

Managed to hack away most of the weed in the garden. Looks like we might have more raspberries coming!

Watched Kung Fu Panda (first one) finally. So funny.

Hope everyone having a nice weekend.

vbus not from us they didn't but they tried, cut through a heavy duty lock but did not quite manage the second police were here yesterday and today
I despair will leave bikes in flat when away I think

copper I really hope they weather will hold for next weekend, at least in Dorset

went shopping with dd today, she has opinions on what I should wear

will attempt to run with dd riding along on her bike tomorrow, never tried it on the roads and towpath

Sfx- good idea keeping bikes indoors while you're away, peace of mind
I've just watched weather, looks good all week, hope it continues for wkend!
Have just worked out what food we're going to take, getting excited

Copper - DS2 loves Kung Fu panda despite never seeing it

Islandhaze - hope you found some good sushi!

Been to Blenheim palace today to meet some friends, had a lovely day out

Hope everyone having a nice weekend

vbus we have decided to only take food for the first day plus eggs and bacon for 1st breakfast and hope to find some fresh for the following days, also taking assorted snacks, fruit and drinks including the all important wine, otherwise we will eat on site and be done with it

had a look at map and hope to find a spot on my preferred camping area.
my goal is to leave here by 11 at latest but knowing my family if we leave by 12 it will be ok I really want to leave at 9

nerd that I am have been following the tweets from ComicCon for DrWho
press conference here is a link to the trailer for next part of current series

First morning of hols passing amicably.

sfx - I would put bikes in the flat when away!

Now off to extract 1.50 owed to me by the kids.

Copper - good luck with debt collection

Sfx - I think we'll try and have our meals at campsite apart from one meal at site. Alcoholic beverages all sorted. We'll probably end up leaving around the same time and deffo later than I would like too

Had a farewell playdate this morning with a family who'll be leaving the area soon May head to playground later

Visiting family, nice food. Yummy brownies.
Vbus marshalling the troops is half the stress

Copper dd let me sleep until 9.30. She said she was enjoying the peace and quiet doing puzzles and writing in her bedroom

Hi all,

Copper, I'm happy to wait until 28, Watermans is a nice cinema as well with quite a good Indian restaurant there

Sfx, glad you managed to get a course. Ds1 had his first lesson today & did quite well even though I forgot his goggles, am quite glad I booked with Richmond now!

Hope everyone's ok & not fed up with the holidays just yet

Hi!

Tilly - I forgot we are going to a festival on 28th. But it's a day thing, so should be back in time. Curry + HP then?
