West London chat into Autumn

[sfxmum]

let us see if anyone finds their way here

AAAARRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH.

And I have a sore throat and I have to lecture tomorrow.

AAAARRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH.

That's better.

slng I seldom answer the phone only talk with reasonably sane people life is too short and I am too old to care about being seen as odd and rude

hope you feel better

I TOLD her about a million times that "I am not interested about things like this", "can you stop telling me now because I hate this kind of things", "you are jumping to conclusions while accusing other people of doing so". Which ones of those statements is f**king ambiguous? Oh my God. Luckily I have a few novels and Asterix to calm me down before I go to bed. OH MY GOD. Lucky for DH he's out or he'll get an earful ...

husbands are actually quite useful in such situations particularly the more skilful and experienced ones, they can look as if they listen and even care as we vent
of course in such times our best judgement is somewhat clouded by red mist and we just sort of get along with the pantomime

go read and eat something nice
I have to go write about the changes in business over the past 40 years

Hello!

So so so tired ...

Having table ace squash pancakes for tea. Have already experimented on kids and they ate them and are now running about, so should be safe.

Friend phoned again and we are now planning night out .

Friend is nice, really. A far better person than I am. Obviously. But there are certain topics of discussions to be avoided ...

Morning

Slng - sounds like a tricky phone call, glad you've patched things up with friend.

I'm annoyed with my parents. They said they wanted to arrange a family party for DS2 1st b'day which was is fine apart from now it is turning into a circus and an evening event, not what we discussed or wanted. They already sent out invites before telling us the time and place I'm tempted not to go which will obviously go down like a lead balloon.

Sorry for rant. Anyway at least have night out to look fwd too.

Hoep everyone is well

good morning all

tilly from post on other thread I can see sleep still a problem ouch

slng I suppose best let it go can't really like everything about everybody all the time them not being us and all

vbus does it require evening dress? I've heard of weddings like that.
hope it gets resolved reasonably

I stayed in bed until 10am needed the rest dh looks frazzled as he has been up since 5 and dd got up at 7.30 and has been very 'lively' since

Good morning!

Was a bit frazzled too in the morning - a bit fed up of procrastinating youngsters... But went for music lessons (for kids) and feel a bit rested after 1.5hr of enforced doing-nothing.

vbus - at birthday party escalation. Hope it gets sorted! I hate hijackings too.

sfx - we must be thankful there's not more than one me. I am quite insufferable, most of the time, but sometimes I do put on good behaviour. Promise to do so this evening.

thanks everyone for a lovely evening sorry I did not get to talk to all

auntie will let you know when likely to go running tomorrow, see if mutually convenient

night night

morning all, had a lovely evening, nice to catch up with you. And I think I managed to speak to everyone

vbus, hope the party issue is sorted out soon for you.

Not sure what to do today, dh has offered to take the boys out for most of the day. I know I should take him up on it but I also feel like we should spend the day together...

Hello all!

Had very nice evening!

Not in the best of mood today though - DS1 woke up coughing about 5.30am and I didn't sleep much after that ... Am going to go out and hack some vegetation in the garden to vent.

Lovely to see those of you who were out last night Let's do it again soon!

Tilly - hope you have a nice whatever you decide to do

Sfx - well done on going for run after night out

Slng - do you feel better now?

PCW - nice to bump into this morning, pity you couldn't stay longer at Jolly tots, it was brill. Both DC loved it and I confess to having a go on the trampoline once all the DC were off, so much fun and great exercise Just chilling out this afternoon

vbus yep went running auntie dragged me out but I did feel the alcohol

have now more or less caught up with new course work this one takes it up a notch far more intensive with 3hr exam in 8 months

tilly hope you ended up having a nice restful time

dh took dd to the science and natural history museum nice for all, maybe proper family time next weekend.

KC how are you and your feet today?

hope everyone is well

off to cook dinner

We are having a Thai dinner.

cannelloni for us takes ages stuffing the tubes but well worth making from scratch

not making the past cause that would be mad really

Never tried making pasta, but will try to make noodles one day, when I have gone mad. Which won't be long.

chilli & tacos for us tonight, am not making the tacos

Compromised in the end, we all went to the park this morning & dh has taken the ds's off to a soft play this afternoon, so I've cleaned up & got tea ready

good morning all

I feel so virtuous have already been doing course work

think will go to Kew this pm looks lovely out

how about we start planning the half term meet up?
and maybe the Christmas dinner?
yes I know it is only October

SFX my thighs and hips ache!!!

Lovely to see you all BTW - 'twas great fun!

Hello

Gorgeous weather

Sfx - well done on course work, always a good feeling

auntie - didn't know you ran?

DH arrived in US yesterday. I'm going to try and get a few jobs and things done while he's away. Well that's the theory. No doubt will end up vegging on sofa in the evenings

Hello all! Hope you're enjoying the lovely sunshine. I'm sorry that I missed Saturday night and hope that it was a good evening.

Can anyone recommend somewhere that I can have a dress altered? The alterations are quite straightforward but it's a bridesmaid dress (although acutally just from Coast) so it needs to be someone who will do a very neat job. We're in St Margarets.

Thank you!
