EALING, ISLEWORTH, WEST LONDON ... SHALL WE MEET UP AGAIN?

[MrsBigD]

o.k. I'm bored at work so thought I'll start another threat trying to organise gettogethers :)

With or without kids... I'm game

The latest Ealing thread was considering a zoo visit of some sort when it gets a bit warmer... and now it's gone and gotten colder!

Sometimes my ds is 3.5 going on 35, but fortunately other times he's just a 3 yr old.
In his monologues a while ago, Bill Cosby said his dad passed along The Curse, which every parent gets whether they want it or not. The Curse is, "may you have children that are just like you were." So far it's working on me! Ds gets plenty of Clever Ideas, which he generally keeps pretty quiet about, as he's clearly already operating under the same rule I always did: it's easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission...

my favourite is 'insanity is hereditary... you get it from your children'

Argh... nanny is off sick again... oh how I hate 'pass the bug'. Anybody of you Ealingites who's lo has had chickenpox would like to come round with their lo's for a chat, coffee so kids can play? dd is totally bored as still too ill to go to nursery but well enough to drive me bonkers!

Morning all!

20weeks today....Feeling a bit more relaxed. Will feel better at 38weeks!

Would love ds to catch chicken 'spots' but i can't get it....ANd had it twice previously so it would be sods law that i caught it again....

Ds is still in bed asleep. In shock. First time ever....

6th April is fine wiht me. And i managed to fit thru doors to a restaurant last night so i should be ok.

Boopert I fully understand. I'm still waiting to break out in hives myself

My mother says, "Grandchildren are your reward for not killing your children."

Same idea obviously. The reward is watching us suffer as she did.

Well little un slept til 9:45am y'day. Still in shock. Where are you all?

Still here, but not posting much.....dh has been moaning and hovering about all week, with an unusually tedious case of the flu. Ds & I already had gotten over either a less tedious coughing virus, or it was the same thing and we just didn't moan about it so much . But anyway, been kept busy all day every day fetching food, tea, medicine, etc. etc., listening to him moan and snork and take his temperature every 20 minutes or so and whine about the fever not being all gone yet. He admits he's not the best patient in the world....(naturally I don't like for him to suffer, but he does make rather heavy sledding of it all)

Knock wood, though, I should still be able to get to MrsBigD's on Thursday. If anyone has any chicken pox pustules to spread around, it will be interesting to see if ds's vaccine works. They've recently started vaccinating for it in the U.S. -- which I thought incredibly lame given that it's not exactly a dangerous disease or anything, but apparently a small number of people can have weird & tedious virus outbreaks much later in life ("shingles" etc.), so I guess they've decided to try to cut it down. Whatever.

Same here ... not much time to post... dh is in grumpy mode (which I have decided to decidedly ignore), but at least dd seems to be over her cp bar the odd little spot. Ds hasn't started yet but last night was a nightmare screaming festival... teeth I think. So what's sleep? Boopert I envy you so!

Looking forward to seeing whoever can make it on Thursday :) and defo looking forward to 6 april. I NEED A DRINK and time out from family life

Oh no, MrsBig, i couldn't slepep. Sods law. Was laying there waiting for him to wake up fgs! My one any only chance of sleep and i let it pass me by......

oh how I know that one... we usually go to bed at 2200 then usually ds wakes at 2300... except for of course when we think 'well we'll wait till 2300 so he won't wake us after 1h sleep' because then he doesn't... sods law indeed

Boo - can we swap? DD2 was up and dressed ready to go to Grandmas by 6am Saturday and bed companion dd1 woke me up at 6.30am this morning. Maybe they think I need some practice at early mornings.

Don't worry, ds and dh were both up at 6am. Waiting for the Grand Prix. So i was up.
(Didn't mind thou as secretly like it...)

But the consolation is...he fell asleep at 6pm so i can now reeeeelaxxxx. Ahhhhh

6:30? LUXURY that's a lie in for us

hehehe I got woken by dd this morning when she came in face beaming saying... I'm watching racing cars with papa... I have to add that she is an avid scalectric player

Maybe she'll be the first female F1 driver? I can only wish it were me...

well when we're driving anywhere she keeps yelling... mama go faster you have to catch up with those cars!

Having that Monday feeling........we are all getting over a cr6ppy cold apart from dh who seems to be in perfect health! Typical and he is at work so of course can not help me at all! Roll on good weather!! Where is it? Hope you had good weekends. I took my dd1 to see don't let the pigeon drive the bus at the lyric, hammersmith, their kiddies programme is really good although it is a bit expensive!

Its never going tobe warm. Fly south is what i say. Bloody weather. And we have colds too.

ah wouldn't it be nice to have a winter home somewhere warm :)

Cape Town....ahhh lovely.
My mum & dad are off to Barbados next week. Gutted. Last time they went was on our honeymoon (built in babysitters... NOT FAIR!

snow - also feel gutted and they are not even my parents! Have been to barbados, lovely country, lovely people and just lovely...........

Yeah not fair. AND the only hol we had booked for this year is being canx as i can't fly. (But dh wanted hol, i wanted baby, opps, looks like i won that round!)

Snow you wanted baby you won so quite your moaning about not being able to go on hols (only kidding of course). I know the feeling though, dh had booked a birthday suprise diving holiday in Egyp 5 years ago but we had to can it because I fell preggers. Haven't had a chance to diving since!

Hahaha will do.
Besides, he has promised me once he gets refund he will book Cape Town for me. The other hol was to Kuala Lumpar....
