West London chat into Autumn

[sfxmum]

let us see if anyone finds their way here

Thanks Dusty!

Just checking my list from this morning to see what else there is to do ...

Hello!

Supposed to be working but a bit bored ...

Where is everybody?

Hello all

hope plumbing problems are being resolved

pcW how have you enjoyed the lie in?

have finally sent the essay, just 2 minutes ago, will bake some banana muffins in a little while

first parents evening next Tuesday which coincidently is school photo day too

off to pick up DS2 and then DS1 and then to friend's house.

Well done on essay sfx!

Yay SFX - I bet that feels great|: essay done, muffins on and now you can enjoy your evening

hey dolphin all good except I want to cause dh serious injury, no idea why that man has a phone, what is the bleeding point if he never uses it when it counts

no dinner for him huff

SFX - LOL re: lie-in!! I had to get up at 6.30 as usual in order to get showered/ready/packed lunch/dd homework etc ... BUT yes, I DID enjoy the lie-in in the sense that the house was a LOT calmer ds is such a lovely, perfect boy (of course but boy is he full-on. dh is out tonight and so, sadly, I have had to break my "week off the booze" pledge and am now enjoying a small large glass of merlot. Just wish I had a banana muffin with which to wash it down Good luck with the parents' evening, we had ours (except it was in the afternoon on Monday and it was fine.

Sing - how are you doing this week? Have you some time off work over Christmas?

Oh dear, the bracket thing went slightly wrong there, lol!

To all studious types who have handed in essays - well done!

Dusty - so what's happening, what's the latest - any breaking news? Hope all is ok.

sfx - what's dh done?

Now to the washing up - breakfast, lunch, (no kids' tea thankfully) and tea and baking stuff to wash.

Posting link to BIL's band on FB!

KEWCUMBER look here
the Telegraph has opinions about you
''Is there any evidence that au pairs are more liable to kill your child than a nanny?? interjects Kewcumber (Kew is a haven of under-employed City wives). ?My CM has no childcare qualification. 18-year-olds in the lcoal nursery have but I know who I?d trust more with my child. Plenty of cleaners have degrees ? what?s relevant is how good they are at their job not whether they have any qualification.? LOL

slng just once again neglected to tell me when he would show up and had his phone off so no bloody dinner on the table

actually he is rather lovely but head off somewhere all the time horrible timekeeper
drives me nuts

he actually got up at 5.30 am did whatever he does and had a dentist appointment at 8am which he managed to be late for and would have been later or missed it if I had not pointed out to him that it was 2 minutes to 8.

• really how did that happen?-

yes how indeed

yes I saw it (and have responded) oh how I aspire to being an underemployed City wife!

Saw that now - wish I was underemployed. What a twat the so-called journalist is. Anyhow, must dash and mop the floor instead of being online. (In RL will not be caught dead mopping the floor. That's what cotton-wearing children are for.)

lol Slng!

good morning all

what are the chances of staying dry today?
much more relaxed day finally
looking forward to weekend

Hello all

Just about caught up on thread. LOl- Slng and KC, I saw your claim to fame last night, lol

Sfx - well done on essay

pCW - lie-in sign of things to come?

Have my parents here all week so it has been pretty hectic. Great having the extra help in the day time but ds2 is having teething/cold/cough nightmare and has been awake a few hrs every night, I'm so exhausted, can't rest in the day as he is not napping in cot or anywhere else for that matter But still, made it to the gym yesterday for 1st time in about 18mths, I enjoyed the steam room best And going out for posh dinner tonight with DH for our birthdays

Hope everyone well

SFX - chances are about -5%

Vbus - am of posh dinner tonight, enjoy!

PC - I think I have decided to take the job with more pay/perm-contract/closer/flexible working, but in my heart still wanting to do other job offer.

I rang the woman at the lower paid job today to tell her I have had an alternative offer. She got VERY heavy with me, implying I had been dishonest and generally made me feel like a piece of poo, to the point she had me in tears. She calmed down a bit after that and said she agreed I need to do what is best for my family, as well as what I want. Perhaps I have had a lucky escape after all

vbus - we are going out for posh meal tomorrow evening!

dusty - does sound like a lucky escape!

Now must try to book some christmassy play thingy.

vbus and slng hope both have a great time

am getting concerned about what this marketing means first the country lady catalogue now being bombarded with skiing related stuff

dear mrs sfx you will now be planning for your skiing season

dolphin meant to say sounds like lucky escape over emotional managers are never a good sign
good luck

sfx - at marketing stuff. Do you know how they got hold of your details? We used to know that Greenflag was giving out my details because my name was spelt wrong all the same way.

Did caramel popcorn for guests. Product a success but process a catastrophe. Popcorn everywhere ...

Good morning!

Have house all to myself and what do I do? Drink tea, MN, watch telly. Bliss.

hello all good morning

hope all had a good weekend, we did

today have poorly child at home, not much sleep last night, sofa pyjama day today which looking at the weather is just as well

me too sfx...
