Can those of you discussing laundry get a grip please.

sfxmum · 23/07/2008 12:32

am a tad overwhelmed KC, would you prefer talk of baking or maybe general house cleaning?

Friday might be an idea but am currently obsessed with 'heavy showers' on forecast

how about the 1o'clock club at Marble hill? is that not on?

Kewcumber · 23/07/2008 12:43

no idea - most of them seem to shut this week. Is there a website for it?

Hush with your domestic trivia, some of us are working...

Kewcumber · 23/07/2008 12:45

Susie and Bella - bit short notice but we're meeting up on Friday night ion Kew if either of you can come.

mellow2 · 23/07/2008 12:59

KC one o'clock info at the bottom of the page

rosmerta · 23/07/2008 13:34

hi susie & bella . If either of you are around tomorrow, a couple of us are meeting up at Kew Gardens.

Sfx, thanks for asking about ds, speech therapy went well, definite improvement. We'll have another review in 3 months & hopefully he'll be discharged then!

I made the mistake of mentioning the paddling pool and now ds is obsessed with the idea of it! Well, at least its nice enough to get it out today!

sfxmum · 23/07/2008 13:45

Ros glad to hear you are getting a good service.
what time for Kew tomorrow? might pop along too, need incentive to be out

slng · 23/07/2008 14:47

Afternoon all!

We got posh new black shoes for DS1 and stuck a school name sticker in for good measure. Can't really complain this time as his old shoes were seriously worn out...

What a headache I have though! More neurofen, you think? I blame it on all that cleaning this morning.

MrsR - emailed you again!

mellow2 · 23/07/2008 15:22

sfx,
We're meeting 10/10.30 am. I'll be coming via Lion gate.

sfxmum · 23/07/2008 16:01

thanks Mellow, might be early for us but we will show up at some point, probably to wave goodbye to everyone else

dd has been running around naked all day and refuses to put clothes on or go anywhere but I need to get out asap

Kewcumber · 23/07/2008 16:05

when is DD starting nursery sfx - how many sessions will she be doing. Have decided not ot even try getting DS in anywhere for september this year but to try for next year. If he is less clingy in Jan I may try him one or two mornings.

sfxmum · 23/07/2008 16:11

dd starts in September with settling in sessions at the end of August but it is only 2 mornings to start with probably Wed&Thu.

but we still don't have the confirmation letter this was from a conversation I had with the manager

I need to get more semi regular activities for autumn / winter more to get me out of the house and I am sure she would like that too

stepfordwife · 23/07/2008 16:59

yaaaaayyyyyyyyy!
school broke up today
free from the mental and emotional torture of the school run

laundry speak?!

welcome susie and bella
i live in mortlake, shirk work from home and have ds1, 8, ds2,7, and dd, 3.

went out last night and didn't get in until 1.30am . like buses, all my social engagements have come at once. being the old fart i am, would prefer them spread over several weeks on once a week basis.

dd is wailing in a very irritating manner...think she's got distemper from the muggy weather..

stepfordwife · 23/07/2008 17:03

kew and whatsyername...those kittens CM has are seriously cute, aren't they?
ds1 is lobbying for a pet rabbit
it ain't going to happen..

sfxmum · 23/07/2008 17:11

steppie bit of info please about kids club cinema, where and how much please?

dd has succumbed to advertising and wants to see Wall E or whatever is called
TIA

sfxmum · 23/07/2008 17:13

and hurrah for end of school run how do you plan on keeping them entertained now?

rosmerta · 23/07/2008 17:23

sfx, depending on how ds sleeps tonight we might be at Kew for a lunchtime picnic, but meeting sj & mellow at around 10-ish, I imagine at C&C?

Ds has had lots of fun this afternoon with his paddling pool. He's also been naked at times but then his bf came over and I thought it best that he got dressed!

sfxmum · 23/07/2008 17:26

oh please no C&C virtual sauna

will take picnic blanket and some stuff to eat in cool box

rosmerta · 23/07/2008 17:40

I know, I hate C&C as well and ds isn't very interested in it either, any other ideas? Queen Charlotte's maybe?

sfxmum · 23/07/2008 19:43

around Queen C is good plenty of space to run, badger set and cafe not too far for variety

C&C is fine in but I find it hard to be there on hot days very poor ventilation

topdolly · 23/07/2008 20:00

Well I sent a few hurs buried under laundry with my Blackberry multi-tasking from home, then had a barmy arvo with paddling pool, pizza and ice cream with one of DS1's friends -I sooo love the hot weather

Kew - DS1 and DD have been lobbying me for the last hou abour gettng a "pet". They don't seem to ggrasp that hving 3 DCs to look after is quite enough without having an extra (extra smelly) 4th small dependant thing to clean andfeed

The CM is a lot more patient that I am...

SFX/Ros IKWYM about C&C - gets boiling in there doesn't it?

Did I mention we visited the Eden project last week. Its kind of like Kew Gardens but with politics

Rght I can hear a glass of cava calling me from the fridge

ComeOVeneer · 23/07/2008 20:15

Hi all. It is child nd dh free in the COV house! Dropped dh and children off at ILs (as dh is feling better but stillsuffering with episodes of dizziness so didn't want to drive.) I went to IKEA in Wembley and spent way to much, then home had my nails done a long soak in the bath, pan fried scallops with bacon and rocket, with a balsamic reduction, fresh baked roll (not homemade rolls this time) and a mini pot of Gu.

Now in bed watching tv, mning and havin a glass of merlot (my second )

Life is good. Don't plan on getting out of bed before 11am tomrow apart from getting a cup of coffee. Then will hit Kingston for a spot of lunch and retal therapy.

Wha was the final decision of where and when for Friday night?

Kewcumber · 23/07/2008 20:21

8pm Inn at Kew Gardens on Sandycombe road

topdolly · 23/07/2008 20:21

CoV - sounds heavenly
