New West London Meet Thread

[Paddlechick666]

Wow! We filled a thread!

Hope you all find this new one!

Our evening was great, had a lovely time. kids were all very well behaved. dd sleeping in our bedroom is a nightmare tho - she's sooo noisy!

we need a 3rd bedroom

we're off for Sunday lunch at The Botanist later YUM!

2cute, we're scheduled to have skids that weekend but not confirmed yet. if we do, not sure if i could come and don't want to invite 2 extra kids and dh as that'd be rather cheeky! if we don't then we'll be there

it's far too early for a Sunday!

Playing with my new phone - I had a nokia 6820 stolen and it looks like I got a number dyslesic Insurance guy - I've got a a 6280 and it's way way better than the one stolen.

frazzled mother here - paddle, I'll be joining you with the wine tonight!

I'm waiting for dh to come home and open up the wine then I'll join you. Mind you, life is good at the moment so I won't be moaning!

life is generally good, just a bit of a tiring day!

I had one of those yesterday. Today I did lunch with a friend and it was so relaxing.

Well, my turn: I'm not pg, turns out I was just late. Feel so disheartened and I know I'm a prat for getting my hopes up I'd join in the drinking session if I could bl**dy move!

Oh sorry to hear that 2Cute .

sorry 2cute .

whats wrong with getting drunk on the sofa 2cute?

I've had a tiring day as well. My neighbours dd and my ds1 have started arguing and fighting over everything so I feel like UN peace embassador. To make matters worse she fell down the stairs while she was here - don't worry shes fine. They were playing ring ring rosie 10min later and falling down with great force!

sorry 2cute that was me last week, names lists and all, not trying this months and probably not next i think.

puds hope the night is ok shame you can't pop along to bookswap tomorrow

mrsD good thing you can scream i think here the police would be called, bloody flats, are you looking for work?

thanks sfx, me too! At least dh has offered to get up in the morning if it is a bad night!

Our nephew did really well in his 11+ so we're taking him to the science museum tomorrow & then going to buy him something from Hamley's which is why I can't come. I think that's a good enough reason

so nobody cared that my mother fed my child caffeine and raw sugar

shall have to start an "am I being unreasonable" thread

oh and the man who looks after the allotments in the triangle hung himself in the bar! . We speak quite often and he is lovely, he is also the barman for the sports club (where he hung himself). Anyway last week we talking about alottments and he said that I was next on the list followed by "I've got the biggest and best one, so you wont get that unless I die." I'm quite sad as he was lovely and we spoke often and maybe he was lonely and I should have been friendlier .

SJ my mum did the same thing when we were in Oz

sue - am by the sugar & coffee!

quokka - thats really sad

Having said that, my [senile] grandmother did try to feed ds a huge spoon of icecream when he was about 6m old!

must stop typing and find alcohol!

Hi guys - gosh, lots to catch up on

t2beg: I know the canaries quiet well. They are all fab: sunny, safe, very very child friendly, fab beaches, cheap food. I have lots of guide book sif you want to borrow them. We also have a (small) villa there available for rent (mumsnet discount ) from start of May onwards. Feel a bit dodgy admitting that and in fact plugging that, given the thread the other day threatening to line all capitalist gits against the wall come the revolution - but there is a long and sordid story of how we come to own a 'place ine the sun' which I will gladly tell over a bottle of wine, or two. (but the summary is we are not rich, unfortunately)

Foxy - wd love to meet up, and Monday 26th in the morning is fab. Here, yours, M&S coffees?? I still have a car seat for you (errrr, is it you or Paddle )

Sue et al - again apologies for blowing you out . when you meet dh you can kill him/ slightly maim him

Owl woman/ vase woman: dd came into our bed last night and rubbed her wet nappy on my head saying 'have done pee pee, see'. Wd have preferred it had she peed the bed. Especially as the shower this morning was fairly rushed.....

am off to babysit tonight for my friend - are we ever gonna get a babysitting circle up and running?? I'm happy to start it off by offering my services (ohh err misses) to see how that works ?

it is sad quokka and no it wasn't because you weren't friendlier. If it were that easy to help suicidal people then there would be a great deal fewer suicides. In my (very uninformed but with some family experience) opinion most people who commit (or attempt) suicide have mental health issues and don't understand anything except that everyone will be better off with them dead. Its not simple loneliness.

oh quokka that is sad

sj it is a well known method to keep them awakeback where i come from people give wine and sugar in a sort of dummy to knock them out, i think that explains a lot

sfx are you talking about the childrne or the parents (re the wine dummy and knocking them out)?

aha! quokka, you got your priorities wrong - i found wine before sitting at laptop!

the drinking has begun....... i will be asleep before long tho i fear!

2cute, sorry to hear about the arrival of AF.

quokka, very sad about the allotment guy but i suspect it would've gone a lot deeper than just being lonely........

sue, obviously we're all coffee & sugar addicts therefore prob best to start ds young. get him on the babycinos instead perhaps! grandma's they're licensed to do whatever they like huh!

dd has begun to prefer grandma to me no longer to i get an excited squeal when i walk in the door.

had blazing (text) row with dh thru-out today about his lack of parenting. his idea was to move closer to me and have dd alternate weeks.

unfeckinbelievable - he couldn't even commit to babysitting last week.

he's seeing his psychiatrist a week early - things are very very bad.

more wine i think...........

yes but whats weird is that we were talking about what we were going to plant and he was going to give me some tips if I needed help. So in otherwords we were talking about the future. He even invited the lo's to come and help him in the summer. The police are treating it as suspicious but that maybe neighbourhood gossip.

2cute: you CAN drink - that's why god invented straws. and if your back is very very sore and you ahve to lie flat on teh sofa, you must connect 4 or more straws in teh manner of alcoholic blue peter presenter and suck, suck, suck...
