For when the other thread runs out today!

Heavenly it is indeed, although I do feel a tad at a loss knowing I am alone for the next 3 days.

Is parking ok around the place for friday?

CoV you can park virtually anywhere in Kew at anytime apart from 10am-noon Mon-Fri, so "yes"

Shoot, have missed you all again for today. had a horrible day today. Dh's youger brother died a week or so ago, and his funeral was today. he didn't want us there as he felt he needed to hold himself together properly, and apparntly, i make him feel his emotions... anyway, we were of course thinking about him all day. Felt so sad for him...

Ayway, would have loved to meet up tomorrow, but I fear too late now to arrange it with you guys as woudln't know exactly where to meet and what you look like etc etc!!!

Never mind, maybe next time!!! I can't do friday night either as no babysitter- he's actually burying his brother friday in Scotland. Plus mum is out too... again, next time, i'd love to, if I can as i never get out!

Thanks all for welcome. feels nice

Kewcumber, I'd really really like to know of any toddler groups, erm, play tumble things, erm, mother and baby groups etc I can take Izzy to in this area too. I've never been able to before, at all as my back has been too bad, but i'm just back to driving havig jiggled my medication around a bit. I feel so free and independent again! So I want to actually get izzy out to meet other children more now! she does have a few little friends, but would love to go out more. Any suggestions would be SO appreciated!

Well I'm planning to try the 1 oclock club at marble Hill on Friday which is over your way so would happily meet you there. Anyone else coming?

You won't be able to miss me - I'll be the tall large loud woman with the small cute Asian boy haring around like a loon.

Oh yes and there's a picture of me on my profile!

So sorry to hear about your BIL - how horrible for you DH - everyone handles grief in their own way and I imagine he feels that he will somehow have to look after you if you go to the funeral and wants to selfishly (and understandably) not have to think about anyone else today.

We try top arrange an evening meet about once a month though it does seem to fall apart a little over the summer.

good morning all

hi Susie sorry about BIL never easy
the link on previous post gives details of different clubs not just the one on Marble hill it is St Margs mainly but that is your way

to Kew crowd I might actually be able to make it within given time

cov enjoy freedom sounds divine

Not sure how we're going with Kew this morning, ds had a v restless night & is refusing to get dressed! Will ring if I make it!

I'm working

DH and me both have bruises from the dd's restless night, she slept with us after I gave up putting her back on her bed for the 4th time.
I am sure it is the heat.
have a greed on clothes to wear and will wrestle dd if I need to I must get out

slng are you working all day?

sfx - only working morning. Am intrigued by your greed on clothes to wear.

just a stray a slng it is there but has an independent streak

Morning all. Well I am stil in bed. I have been to the kitchen for a coffee and a croissant. I will get up shortly to shower and dress then will probably head to Kingston for a spot of lunch and retail therapy. Hope everyone is having a good day too.

Snot fair - I'm stuck in the office all day too

Sorry to rub your noses in it . However I have earnt this.

On Sunday I will drop dd off at my parents until Thursday. Then I have to pick her and my neice up to stay until the following Sunday. And sucker that I am I am looking after a friend's 2 boys (3 and 6) on Friday for the dayso will have 5 of them.

yeah I've erned it too... doens't mean I'll get it though. My mum did say she might take DS away for a few days next summer to see my Sis but tbh the way her arthritis is I'm not at all sure she'd be able to cope with the journey and DS on her own.

Sorry Kew didn't mean to sound smug. Of course as parents we all earn/deserve a bit of time off.

oh by all means feel smug I don;t begrudge you much just be prepared for a swift fork in the leg from an anonymous source on Friday.

Cov makes mental note not to sit anywhere near Kew tomorrow night.

hello lovely to see so many of you earlier today, quite a treat I don't get out much

and thanks Ros for taking decent pictures of me
we went looking to replace dd's cup but she managed to persuade me to get a doll's stroller, because miniSJ and mini mellow have one too and it's not fair
I am such a push over

have only cold stuff for dinner deli style no way am I cooking

Nice to see you all today as well, thought all the dcs played really well together, even if there were a few near misses with sticks

I'd love a deli style dinner but ds definitely prefers cooked food! Might do that for myself later instead.

Hello
I think a lot of you have children a bit older than mine (2 babies) but wondered if anyone has tried Musicbugs in Chiswick, Twickenham or surrounding areas?

I'm wondering if its any good, and any different to Gymboree really...

Hello all!

So exhausted ... but managed to persuade LOs that mozzarella in pitta is a better dinner than requested beef and mushroom noodles. They rejected ice cream sandwich though. Odd. It's not everyday I offer such decadent options.

We are having cold thai beef salad later.

MrsT - music activities don't go down well with DSs. Too much noise... So can't tell you anything! Sorry! I have seen Amanda Action Kids once though at a birthday party. Never heard such noise in all my born days!

Hello Mrs Tiddles!

Sorry can't offer advice on Musicbugs. Dd absolutely loves Gymboree Music in Chiswick. The teacher is very good.

We're having cold noodles Japanese style: halfway between deli and cooked food. I can't bear food eaten warm when we have scorching weather like this.

But the funny thing is I eat hot spicy food in Malaysia and it's 30 degrees every day!

Well Kingston was a dissappointment (ALTHOUGH A RELIEF IN DH'S EYES)- sorry didn't mean to shout. Didn't buy anything other than some hair clips for dd and some stuff at Boots, nothing else caught my eye. Have made a chilli to have with nachos, gaucamole, salsa, sour cream, grated cheese etc for dinner, the hot weather doen't bother me when it comes to food.

Thanks both. WIll do trial day and see.
