WEST LONDON MEET-UP THREAD - JANUARY 2007 DAY-TIME MEETS

[MrsBigD]

A new thread for the new year

Paddle - if you give her some cranberry to drink it'll take the sting out of her wee when it hits her skin.

Well it works for me anyway

Must go to bed now, back to work tomorrow and up at 6am

another good tip foxie, will get some tomorrow.

also back at work tomorrow so really should go to bed - maybe read some more of State of The Union.

Hope your return to work goes okay.

n'night

Night (hiccup)

PC let me know if your dd gets worse. I can have a look if I still have a tube of desitin around. DD used to get really bad nappy rash and reacts chronically to seudocream and my friend recommended desitin as her sister who lived in the US sent it to her. Funnily enough though it's a German product!

Otherwise, Aloe vera gel with a tiny dab of tee tree oil also helps though it might sting a little when applied

Hope she's better soon

thanks MrsB. actually she's a whole heap better this morning.

she slept till 6:30am and i managed to shower and dress before she woke up!

breakfast finished by 7:30am and i was ready to get out the door.

i just bloody knew things were going too smoothly..........

mrsD if still on see you just before 11.30 at mothercare

sfx see you 11:30 @ Mothercare. Assuming it's the Kew Retail Park one?

morning all! quokka nice to see you again! would love to come to your ds' party too! CPC sounds great. so 3pm on 21 Jan. Am already thinking of dd birthday in march too... had not thought of CPC and must say it's a great idea as I fear my place too small!!! all good here. paddle - thanks for your message/advice and sorry i did not reply! will ask xoxo when she comes back for the tel number of her IT guy. have a good day all. x

yes mrsB the retail park

sorry paddle about the mix up we started walking toward mine to get out of the rain and occupy the kids. next time.

mrsB nice to have you and ds around

thanks for having us sfx ds now fast asleep. Hoping I'll manage to put him into his buggy in 30mins when it's time to pick up dd

quokka - we should be able to make it, will probably bring both of mine along and my dh!
Can you email me your ds2's name so that I don't embarrass myself by putting the wrong name in the card!

fox-my dd1 is 3, going to be 4 next month, she has been going to tennis for 2 terms now.

T2BG - my DD is 3, but I can't imagine her being co-ordinated enough for tennis. DS is 6 and has being doing tennis for 1 year now.

Does your DD do ballet?

Hi quokka,

Dd and I can make it too. Just checked with sil and dh's nephew's birthday is coming weekend, not next. Thanks for inviting us. It'll be the 1st birthday party that dd is attending.

ok so far we have

Foxy's dd and ds

Forgive me if I've left anyone out!

Quokka - any ideas for pressies?

What does your LO like?

Is it too late for me & ds to come as well? I'm sure dh would like a couple of hours to himself!

Sorry I've not been around much - we've been diy-ing this weekend which meant we've not had the pc or the internet up! 3 whole day without MN, I'm surprised dh survived

Is anyone meeting up this week? I'm free today & Thursday atm...

hi all. just thinking... quokka re pressie maybe we can all team up to get something if you have an idea of a more expensive item? just a thought. have a good day all!

we would like to come if thats ok it would be dd's first party
and i second those present questions

i am planning on a quiet week not sure what we will do yet but i really need to sort out a few things around the flat first

I'm happy to chip in on a bigger pressie. Othewise, any ideas for pressies would be great. Racking my brains here.

quokka - I gave one little boy aged 1 his first thomas the tank engine, he was very chuffed but beware as this will start an obsession!

Fox - the teacher is very patient & dedicated to the sport. To be honest it is more about them learning to listen to instructions and concentrating. They do get to practise hitting the ball, back and fore hand but they are certainly no where near a game of tennis. It is also lovely in the summer watching and chit chatting with the other mums! There are not many of us so each child gets quite a bit of attention.

t2bgood ds1 got a thomas for chrissy and ds1 likes it better than him!

meant ds2 likes it better than ds1!

still beware of the Thomas obsession ds at the tender age of 2.3 is a fanatic and won't leave the house without something 'Thomas'... the tears we've had because his Thomas slippers had to dry out and he couldn't put them on for a day...
