Ht, Hot, Hot

The car is in having a valet (to get rid of vom smells

We are swimming, then sunbathing working from home

Mellow - no unfortunately

hello all

We had a quiet and pretty lonely weekend. Actually, thats not quite true we spent a very hot sunday afternoon in my mum's garden. set the paddling pool up ( nearly fainted inflating it Izzy was not too sure about the 'big garden bath' as she called it!! bless her.

We went for a walk in the graveyard of mum's church. ( she is a vicar) It was lovely actually. Then sat inside for a bit, and had a think, in the cool. I can't describe how much I enjoyed that cool church, its wonderful. You can quote me on this after the christmas service when i'll be complaining about how bloody cold that church is! Anyway, it did the job & Izzy fell asleep in the vestry. I had a long think about how uhappy i've been with DH being a pillock for too long really. Sent him looooong text as he's not answering my calls. He replied last night, briefly. Seems sorry and wants us to talk properly on holiday and sort things out.

SO, someone asked where we're going o holiday.... Sennen-Cove which is about 1mile from Lands End. We stay i a cottage on the see front. It is gorgeous. IF you don't know what its like there, i think there are pics on my profile. Truly golden/white sands, turquoise sea, which ytou can still see your feet in if your upto your chest! Its gorgeous. Sadly, everyone else seems to have discovered it it the last 3 years or so. I've been going there for ever. Want to live there really... >

IS anyone upto anything this week that maybe we could join you for? Even just a coffee? would be lovely to have
some adult ( and other childen of course) company.

Lastly, apologies for a) lack of personals b) very long post. trying to get it all down before Izzy sees the laptop out! Sorry!!!

I'm generally around at some point on Fridays and am often available at some point sat Sun too so don't hesitate to call and arrange something. I try to go swimming with DS either Sat afternoon or Sun morning or both but am oftne free other than that even if we are only in the garden - I have a very very scruffy garden but it does have a sandpit and a paddling pool.

I'll resend contact list with Susie's number around now...

Hi all, had a busy weekend so not been able to get on MN, have suffered withdrawal symptoms . Had friends over for bbq on Sat which involved me having to do a massive clean & tidy! Then over to Duke's Meadow yesterday & the swimming pool as well.

Sounds like everyone had a nice time on Friday night!

Party girl, I've emailed you!

Susie, sorry things don't seem to be going well for you atm, hope you can work it all out. I'm around this week if you want to meet up.

I'm happy to have people over, have sandpit & paddling pool in the garden, & a small slide!

How about this Fri pm?

I keep meaning to try Dukes meadows - does it have any shade at all?

afternoon ladies! KC thank you so much for the loan of your spare room on Friday night and our chat in the morning.

Really enjoyed myself - I thought the food was wonderful, would definitely go back there again. it was really nice to catch up with you all.

Spent most of the weekend on the phone to my mum about my sis and neices. My sis went on hols to Spain with a "friend" who ended up attacking her/kicking her head in and assaulting my niece. The police were wonderful and escorted by sis/neices to the airport and she managed to get a flight home Saturday night. Her exh paid for them (bless him he has been wonderful throughout this, for a change). She is really shaken up (and bruised and battered) and can't believe how psyco this bitch was. Poor thing. How can a 37yr old woman attack a friend with no motive whatsoever eh? She is currently blaming my sis saying it is all her fault and that she is a crap mum who doesn't deserver her kids.

Anyway good news - only 3 days left at work!!

it was a pleasure to have you MrsR and very polite of you not to comment on state of spare room! (though its a pretty good bed though I say so myself). Can't beleive we chatted until 11am on the upside DS was uncontrollably excited to see me which was lovely (after only a 15 hour gap) though he spent all day yesterady and first thing this morning syaing "go nanny house, go nanny house, go nanny house" (repeat ad nauseum for proper effect).

hello everyone, finally recovered from my hangover! still felt a bit dicky yesterday

went to (it gets convoluted) my best friends' father's girlfriend's house yesterday to help them reconstruct a famous Renoir. it was bakingly hot and we had an enormous amount of fun.

was a mixed day emotionally tho, missed my best friend and his family but lovely to see his dad and sister and her family and all their oldest friends and families. on the downside made me realise how isolated dd is in the lack of seeing her cousins/siblings etc. the family envy is not as strong as it was but it does make me a little sad and wistful still.

susie, sorry H is being rubbish. you can borrow my custom acronym of DHH (dickhead husband) if you like

i've been thru the mill a bit with his outstanding DHH abilities so if I can lend an empathetic ear anytime let me know.

i'm around pretty much same as Kew and always happy to hook up with others as it makes for a much more fun weekend for me and dd.

Sennen is utterly gorgeous. I am so so so close to just packing up and taking off for Cornwall right now!

ASBO boy is smoking on stairs and blasting music again. Various other assorted neighbours are being moderately annoying but my tolerance levels are at ZERO for any sort of noise now.

dd's bedroom was 28 degrees all night she slept okay but I didn't.

i want to move to leafy oxfordshire and have a garden i can use with a paddling pool in it!!

or I want to win the lottery and move to Cornwall!

Kew, if you get there early you can appropriate a table & umbrella, but otherwise there's some small trees which provide the tiniest amount of shade! Its the only problem with it, we could only stay for about 2hrs yesterday as it was just too hot!

oooh MrsR, I am trying to call you. can you get emails?

I'll email you....

grrr, tesco just called. my delivery will be up to 45mins late. it has to be an hour for them to refund delivery charge.

shoulda just gone myself at 8am this morning.

on the upside, new agents have a viewing for flat on saturday and National Housing Federation are predicting prices will recover from 2010 and then soar thru 2015.

Must sell now so I can buy at rock bottom prices out in the country.

hi susie I should be around should you fancy a meet up maybe Wednesday, but I don't drive so tend to stay local if that suits
sorry about the other stuff, best sort it out and not let it fester, best of luck

mrsR that is shocking

did you all hear about the crazy drunken loons on plane trying to open the doors
no package holidays or charter planes ever

ros might take you up on offer thanks

prices went up in richmond borough last month by 1.6% (mind you didn;t say how many places actaully sold)

mrsR, sorry was over-excited about seeing you post as was about to put a call out for you.

am totally by what's happened to your sister. is she going to press charges? how scary for your DN too.

any ideas for August night out?

Camber?

I could do a night out 6th August.

good to speak to you MrsR.

it's way too hot to WFH today, wanna fall asleep!

August probably not much good as I'm skint however how about an early evening BBQ with kids at someone house? Any good? Or evening picnic at kew/some other field.

talk about shock we stayed in this hotel a few years back when my df got married there. Definitely stay at home sfx.

I like travelling and have done but have never been on package deals etc.

besides too skint to go anywhere
might accept inlaws offer to go to Portugal despite hating the Algarve

how about early eveing picnioc on Kew green - pub on green to provide drinks and those without babysitting can bring DC's.

At a push I might persuade my mum to babysit week of 18th August bt no other week really in August for me.
