WEST LONDON MEET-UP THREAD - AUGUST 2006 - EALING, ACTON, CHISWICK, KEW, RICHMOND, ISLEWORTH, KINGSTON ETC.

[MrsBigD]

I'm bored so here's a new thread to organise our August meet-up

Uwila suggested
10 August or
24 August

I can do 24th

Can't be doing with steak tartare - its just uncooked burger, innit?

sue, if you're talking about the tall youngish chap he is precisely the reason i'm off the glasshouse!!! long story but basically he refused to accept criticism of a dish - argued back at me, the tyke

yes, it's just uncooked burger, with some other fancy ingredients. Sounds so much better in french, but what doesn't.
Anyway, it's just how I like my meat - still mooing!
oh, and with lots of red wine to wash it all down.

good thing I had dinner at nando's before reading all this otherwise I'd be hungry too!

would you ladies cast a glance over My new website and let me have your constructive critisicm ... 'It's cr*p' does not count as such

hi mrsbigd- just had a gander at your website and first off i think it looks great - excellent look and feel. like the colours, typeface, layout etc.

one thing - your first para is a bit negative - why not open with something stronger and more positive?

such as? LOL

This better as a first para?

I always used to be a keen photographer and after attending a workshop at the London School of Photography have decided to take my passion to a new level... Our instructor pointed out that ... 'a photographer is always on a learning curve no matter how advanced, and 'practice makes perfect'

yes, much better i think

Thank you I've never been good at writing synopsis about myself despite my skill to waffle on for hours

STOP THE PRESS.... I have baby news. Just back from the hospital where I met the new and ever so lovely baby MrsRecycle. I have permission to broadcast the news, but must keep it brief so she can autor the full details when she gets home from the hospital -- hopefully Thursday.

Baby boy. Fab sleeper.
Born by planned section.
Mum had some blood loss, but is well looked after at Hillingdon and recovering nicely -- well enjoying the pain killers anyway.

YIPPEE I love good news.

We will have to plan a post natal girlie night out for her (and for Snowboo if she is lurking here).

congrats to MrsR !!!

I think it's great, MrsBigD. Needs more images. But that will come soon enough. I've just sent you an e-mail about maybe hiring you.

Oh, forgot to say your paragraph is missing an end quote. But, otherwise is fine.

Uwila more images will come in time as you said and also only quickly threw the website together in a couple of days

congrats to Mrsrecycle! have not been around for a while! So hope you guys are doing well. When is the next meet up? Will try to come along but with decorators in, being a rep etc, finding spare time tough, holidays are always a bit busier for me as hubby is off work (he is a teacher)!!!! You'd think I'd have more spare time!!! LOL

Also sorry to hijack the thread but if any of you are Ealing mums then please have a think about joining ealing135, we organise open houses, events and local mum nights out which are fun and a real life saver!

Congrats to MrsR!!!! Send her our best wishes Uwila and who knows, one day i might make a meet up!
Once we have a routine and daddy can dress/undress baby without any hiccups then we will be ready to rock and roll!!

xoxoxo, I saw your comment on the Christmas meet-up thread. MrsBigD, Nanou1, BrsRecycle and I are going and staying at the Mayfair Holiday Inn. Our rooms are booked. But, if you want to join us you might be able to get a room in the same hotel (£105/night I think?)

hi,
yes, am interesteed in going to christmas bash but I think it co-incides with a significant date so am hoping dh gets his act together (surely lesson learnt last year when I huffed for a week).

Am hoping to come next week though. Should I taxi it or are you all abstaining and brushing up on war and peace/ intricate details of foreign policy/ european issues or anything equally intellectual? Ohmygod, do I have to string a coherent sentence together? I don't think I've done that for 3 and a half years.

xoxoxo

I think it's best to take a taxi and keep your options open. I will PROBABLY drive myself, but only because I'd have to get my car all the way back to Sunbury and then take a train and a bus to get to Kew. Just depends on what time I leave work.

xoxoxoxo wash your mouth out... abstain?! me?!
Just so that Uwila can call me a lush again
Generally it's quite a tame occassion when we meet up.

I refuse to discuss Tolstoy till well after the 5th glass or so . If you want intellectual stick with Uwila, SJ and Yanks . Nanou and I shall hog the gin bottle

Who do you think you are? Labelling me as intellectual? You lush! If the gin is brown, I'll certainly let you guys have it.

YELLOW lemon anyone?????

Uwila - you could come here from work and stay - leave your DC's to the DH

I generally abstain but thats because I take notes...

in comparison to this MrsBigD Ignoramus you are intellectual Uwila

Hmm.. I only speak one language (unless American and English makes me bilingual).

Sue, that is a tempting offer. I just might do it. Oh, but wait. You have a cat, don't you? I'm allergic to them. So it might not work out as I'm rather dependant on my ability to breathe.
