well, you lucky ones will be kicking up your heels at SJs......... altho by now you may all be slowly sliding under the table LOL!

hope you're feeling better MrsBigD.

FF, I'll CAT you about tomorrow if I figure out how to do a CAT! Still hoping to make Pembroke Lodge - what time?

did anybody see a mad woman trashing the high chairs in Mothercare World at Kew Retail Park today?

my first full day leaving DD with Grandma was a success but I became a brainless, unco-ordinated eedjit without my gorgeous girl!

oh how exciting! I'll have to get some stuff over to you before your potential travel date!

How was it last night?
Sorry i couldn't make it. Instead of yummy chillie I had 'wonderful' dry toast and some tea for dinner . Ah well .. there's always next time

I've got some chili left if you want to pop over for breakfast?

Twas a bit late wasn;t it Uwila? I didn't have to get up this morning (trying to make the most of that ) but could I sleep - no. Too much to think about.

Neighbours didn't ring the police at all and Oxo seems to take to her new name pretty well...

sj: on behalf of my hangover, thanks so much for organising last night's lovely dinner. The food was always stunning, the wine flowing and the repartee witty and eloquent.

Suggest meet up at Pembroke Lodge at 10.30 - 11am, for those who can make it? Wellie boots and kagools?

xoxoxox

xoxoxo · 01/09/2006 08:19

XOXOXO!!!!! [grin}

quokka · 01/09/2006 08:44

Thanks sj (and everybody else) for a lovely evening and hope the mess wasn't too bad! Left my salad bowl there, might be going to kew retail park this arvo, maybe I could come and pick it up.

Paddlechick666 · 01/09/2006 08:46

well we had a pretty rotten night so i probably feel like all you hungover ones without the pleasure of the party!

will try to make PL for 11ish. Oxo (blame SJ) I'll CAT you my mobile number.

how will I recognise you?!?!?

I'll be the one with the 10 month old and more bags than heathrow under my eyes LOL.

xoxoxo · 01/09/2006 09:01

pc666 - will cat you my mobile. I'll be the one with the 2 loud kids, probably killing each other. But I had a lie in til 7.45 so I love them today.

I'll be wearing a VERY fetching mac in a sac.

quokka · 01/09/2006 09:14

right will be at kew this morning now as dh needs car in arvo to have a "meeting" at the golf course . SJ I will cat you my mobile and if your around then buzz me, if not don't worry.

xoxoxo · 01/09/2006 09:20

sue (or indeed anyone)- we have the following if you think you would like/ need them:

nappy bin (plus liner)
baby walker (collapses for easy storage - we have a small house!)
small ride on car (with rod for pushing)
booster seats for chair (instead of high chairs)
winnie the pooh musical mobile for over cot/ somewhere little bugger can't reach

any takers?

oh so gutted... sounds like I missed a great party and all the raving conversations about kagools and the like!

SJ Thanks for the offer of chillie for breakfast but still can't stomach much plus trip to dentis today which is much needed just hope he won't make me gag ... wouldn't be pretty. Probably should move appointment but don't want to really as I need to get that root canal sorted before I'm off galavanting around Greece in a few weeks!

Nanou1, nice to know I've been missed . Trying not to think about how I feel and attempting distractive activities like creating a
separate thread for donations to SJ
