West London chat into Autumn

[sfxmum]

let us see if anyone finds their way here

sfx - DS has been the sameall week (much recovered today) - eating virtually nothing, high temps. It ran its course in about 3 days.

sfx, hope dd gets better soon. Ds2 also poorly, think he has a cold but also teething

slng, hope ds1 gets better soon too. Enjoy trip to Ealing!

We're staying close as well, been to toy library this morning & then maybe just to the library this afternoon.

Finally back ... Had lunch at Okawari after going to library. DS2 spent most of the time under the table.

Exhausted. Don't know what kids are doing but there is an awful lot of noise from upstairs. Best go and have a look I suppose ...

Also bought tiny pumpkin. What to do with it?

Hmm love Okawari

SFX if you fabcy joining us on the day, give us a tinkle. Prob heading out between 5-6pm, there is always a great atmosphere with little groups of kids dressed as various spooks, very friendly

Hope DD gets better

Hope everyone else OK

We carved a pumpkin! There is a first time for everything ...

seems like ice cream and meds perked dd up a bit

KC&auntie will let you know thanks

hope poorly ones feel better soon

thankfully dh will be taking the day off tomorrow, or at least that is the plan, current crisis permitting

Kew not trying to lead you astray, but if you fancy popping down here with DS to join us for T&T you would be welcome. We won't come down there 'cos its so lucrative here

thanks auntie - we have changed our mind and will just go to pub in sheen for halloween party. DS still very off colour and behaving like a monster (though mostly tiredness I think)

Saw "Going on a bear hunt" today it was fab.

hello all

super chilled out day today as dh took the day off, did not get up before 10 despite dd's best efforts but to be fair I spent a fair bit of the night up checking on her, my girl talks a lot in her sleep, but at least is feeling better although still on hanger strike it seems

did manage a short run and some shopping

KC where was that? heard they had a nice new production
speaking of which panto tickets should be up for sale soon

that should be hunger

have film to watch tonight have been looking forward to it
'let the right one in'

it was at richmond sfx

Hello all!

What's everybody up to?

We hare just lurking about, listening to the kids moan about this or that.

hello

not much happening here, debating whether to join auntie in trick or treating later

went running muddy and warm, rather slow

dh has gone all domestic and cooked soup for lunch apparently will do pumpkin pie later

am quite bored

Hi all, been busy so far. Went to Kew this morning, back for lunch, then out for a Halloween party later!

Boys are lasting well, dh & I otoh are shattered

Mine are all watching Close Encounters of the Third Kind on Sky. Really not feeling up to T or T but don't suppose I have an option not to take the beasties out

can't wait to start dd on all the horror sci fi movies and telly I like

not going T&T dh and dd baking pie and carving pumpkin

SFX we didn't go either I just couldn not be arsed was feeling too tired. Want to go for a walk tho and am awaiting DH's return

The Amnesty Film Fest opened last night and DH was main speaker. Interviewed by David Cox from Guardian, not sure when its appearing...

Baking sounds nice

I feel quick sick actually, just handed my notice in at work and my tum is a tight lil' ball of "OMG am I doing the right thing-ness"

My best friend at school came over for dinner last night and I haven't sdeen her 30 years, was fabulous

Hi folks - missed you all while I was away (waves)

auntie - huge decision, I expect some nervousness is to be expected, good luck with future plans

dh did take dd T or T in the end spur of the moment type of thing

dolphin Hi are you the one who left me a voicemail this weekend? if so sorry forgot to get back to you but glad you are around

if not you then am lost, clues please

Auntie - good luck!

No T or T this end! Good.

Dolphin - know who you are.

SFX sent you an e-mail -

Sng Hi (waves)

I'd be grateful if no one "outs" me on here - thanks - have done this for a reason

avoided going T&T by going to local pub which provided the worst & slowest face painter in the world but who was so sweet (and free) that you couldn;t really object. Amusingly you couldn;t really tell her different faces apart - cat/pumpkin/witch all really interchangable except colour. However DS wanting to be a green cat sort of threw a spanner into the works! Couldn;t tell what he was form the colour (witches hat and cloak didn;t provide any clues either!)

Can anyone believe that it was three years ago today that I left for Kazakhstan? Any of you who were around - do you remember the thread...

"All my bags are packed I'm, ready to go..."

most exciting time/thread of my life.

you lot from MN were so fab when we got stuck out there, I'll never forget it.

are you getting sentimental?

very - just reread the original thread with tears in my eyes - it bought it all back.

I have been so lucky.
