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!

LOL at the Berlin Wall. Better than being exiled like my DH !!!!

Well, mine never nglected to respond to a text / phone call. In fact the last week before the section, I made him swear to sleep with his phone turned on in the hotel in Brum. Never tested it, but I assume he did.

I think it's funny that you threw his pager and broke it. The events leading up to it are not funny. But, hey, I think he deserves a broken pager.

The funniest thing is it was not a spontaneous act of anger, I had actually decided what I was going to do about an hour beforehand!

Its my red hair you see - can't control my own temper

Oh it was premeditated.... you scare me.

lol foxie!

Had a disasterous (sp?) attempt to get ds to print his hand and foot this morning. I tried a kit I'd bought but although he loved splashing his hands in the paint, he wasn't so keen to spread his hands out to print them! So we have some paper with splodges on them now!

pudding we do a lot of finger painting but for straight prints i just paint hand/foot with brush get paper press and it's done, it takes practice and needs speed

foxie is he scared or used to it? i think it's unforgivable not to answer at this time, or any other time for that matter

having quiet day and convinced i have the plague, these blooming boil type things keep spreading maybe i am just stressed

dd putting up with me just fine bless her

Sfx - Maybe its an allergy reaction to something? Have you eaten anything that you might be allergic to?

nah it's the plague i tell you...

not aware of having eaten unusual food i usually cook from scratch too so am going with insect/spider bite

oh my big news is dd can now say her name properly proud mum alert!

Well, ds is awake after a one hour nap so guess I'm going to have to go for a walk or something in the hope that he'll sleep again!

Well done to Sfx's dd

I ended up taking ds swimming today. Don't think I'll be taking him to Brentford again though, lousy changing facilities, pool was cold & just generally grotty. I did have to make a hasty exit when ds was a little bit sick in the pool but the lifeguard just shrugged his shoulders when I told him!

How's everyone else's day been?

Foxie, I was going to ring you to see if you were around but thought the number I have for you would be your old work mobile?

Hello
did someone say allergies - now you're singing MY song . grab a piriton and a glass of wine and prepare to be high as a kite

I think I'm getting the hang of this work lark. Although I'm knackered and have not yet got teh days off sussed yet so as to allow play rather than shopping etc. will get it sussed soon.

Have the day off tmrw but am re-arranging bedrooms (oh the joy) but will look to play next week.

Chinatown was fab, if very very busy. went to Hamleys the next day which was also brill.I think I'm cramming in teh kiddies enjoyment things in a guilty yummy mummy mode

I spent 3 hours today negotiating with solicitors over works contracts, and I swear they were easier to negotiate with than my 4 yr old. And I didn't have to wipe their bums. I still say that work is easier than sahm.

Foxy: sympathy - all men are crap. Their sole contribution to the world is merely millimeters in size, has no brains and runs on instinct, being lucky rather than accurate when it reaches it's target Rely on women.

I'm BACK.... did you miss me?

Oh bugger. Came home to spotty DD. Chicken pox is the current suspect. bugger. bugger. bugger.

Actually, I don't really mind because I am of the view that having the actual disease in early childhood is better than a vaccine. But, life is hectic right now, and I don't really feel like dealing with this. However, I would quite like an excuse to take a sudden unplanned holiday tomorrow.

Oh dear Eleusis, but as you say at least it will be out the way. DD had the vaccination in CHicago so she could go to nursery over there. I beleive it only last 5-10 years or so, so she will be vunerable to it when she is much older so not ideal.

COV, you could make a point of exposing her to the real disease when she is about 7 or 8 and that would boost her immunity (but you probably already know that).

Speaking of our DDs I do want to get them together again -- maybe whe the chickenpox and lice are cleared up.

Oxo LO Very L!!!!!! I love your analysis of men

Puds I was going to ring you too but by about 3pm I was exhausted. I'll check if I have your mobile number so I can text you - otherwise it will be my old number you have. Was in the swimming baths next to Kew Bridge you went to? I've always wondered what they're like..

Please don't anyone call my old number BTW - as the phone has gone back to work!!

elesus - keep me posted on the 'pox. i really want dd to have it young - may have to come visit..........

bought dd a toy buggy today - she is so cute with it!

no real plans for tomorrow kids, book me!

Well, you might be in luck since if it is the pox she was probably contageous on Sunday. Okay, we saw you Saturday. But, still there is a possibility.

If it is pox, I think I'll rub some scab on DS so we can get the whole thing over with.

Paddle - your DD may have caught it Saturday in Kew Gardens?

I'm around tomorrow Paddle. No idea what to do as not much energy but have my Kew pass back. We could go to the Badger Set maybe?

Foxie, it was the ones next to Kew Bridge I went to, it's probably fine for 2yrs plus, just not for babies.

Not free tomorrow .

Am just going to have the last biscuits I can have for the next 40 days - lent starts tomorrow and we're giving up all sweets, cakes, biscuits etc! How am I ever going to stay awake during the day?!

caffeine.

No one missed me

I was off line all day trying to sort out new shiny wireless network (and failing until this evening)

ele, i dont think your dd and mine got close enuff to spread the germ.

sue, i ain't been here much either. we're neither of us missed!

foxie, quick trip to tesco in the morning and i need to drop a request for a scan up to West Middx but that's it for my day tomorrow.

brent cross was good today - picked up some cheapo bits for dd from H&M. they're trews are roomy in the butt for cloth.....

going to bed i think - am exhausted but don't really know why

Well, you are welcome to come over and spread the good fortune if you like. But, I don't get home until 7:00 which probably conflict with your DD's bedtime.

Me too paddle - and I have to work tomorrow D is going to child minder most of the day for the first time - what time will I crack?

Have a humongous spreadsheet to build and just can't do it with him hanging on my ankle but not looking forward to it - he's been so out of sorts this week (has a cold) and I hate to send him off to a relative stranger however nice she might be.

And my mum is giving me grief about it "oh you're so hard on him"
