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!

pc I'm sure they could find their own meaning !

Ok a hungry bum is when your undies (or knickers) start disappearing up your bum! Or the opposite of a "camel toe"! I laughed out loud when I read it as I heavn't heard that saying for yonks!

lol foxy!

You mean when your Bum eats your pants?

Ah a wedgie?

WTF is a camel toe?

When ones willy hangs out of one's pants?

Can't beleive that Oxo posted without mentioning bumping into the Great Flirt and I in M&S cafe!

2cute - one advantage to being single - no MIL

I have no bloody phone - very bizarre no phone but internet (which shares the same broadband line) is fine. Foxie rang me to test it and someone else answered!

I feel very exposed wihtout a phone and can't find my bloody mobile.

My mum is on a mercy dash around later with an old mobile of mine that I can charge. You feel so vulnerable with a little one and no phone - 2cute, one of the disadvantages of being single!

I can sympahise over MIL issues , part of the reason I moved. I end to screen calls as she will phone at least once a day if not 2, and if I don't answer she will phone dh at work to find out where I am or what I'm doing.

well yeah its just a term people use when your knickers start to disappear up your bum, then you have to yank them out. Sorry foxy. have I lowered the tone too much (again) .

Sue - have you got someone to report it yet? If not and you have the number I'll report it (I mean the BT/telewest number)

Thanks Foxie my nrother has reported it - the phone number I gave you was the right one. No idea where it went or who answered!

pmsl foxy! I have just tried to find you a picture of a camel toe and a hungry bum and all the sites are pretty hard core, so I resisted doing a link!

Quoks - Hard core pics of bums eating pants LOL!!! Close ups and everything??

Sue - a woman answered and said "I'm not Sue, but we're getting all her phone calls" so I obviously wasn't the first..

Glad to know its not my imagination! I thought I'd done something to the phones in my current incompetant state.

Took D around to see Brenda this morning. Am taking him for 1.5 hrs on Wednesday after shcol drop-off. Don't want to leave him, think I may hover behind her hedge for the whole time.

Hi there, I'm one of these people looking for a good cleaner. Any suggestions, please?

Where in W London are you?

Bloody cat keeps wandering across the keyboard and deleting my messages.

Sue - how was DS with Brenda? She said you are bringing him on Weds and leaving him for an hour..do you think he's ready - I mean do you think he is used to Brenda enough to leave him?

I suppose you can stay a while with him, then pop and and pop back, just so he gets used to the idea that you will come back.

She loved him BTW - besotted by his charms like all of us

I'm near Hammersmith.

Just had a really funny incident with DH. I showed him the naming votes and we started arguing about names (as you do..).

Dheran is out of the running, as it sounds like Darren which we both hate.

So I kept saying "how about Monti then?"

But DH said he wanted a bird name as DS1's name means a type of Australian bird. He handed me a list of bird names in a book of his...guess which name I found??

"Monti" ...means "A Stork" ! LOL!

Looks like Monti it is...

Just as I suggested the name Monti again, DH had his hand on my tum to feel the baby kick, and Monti started kicking furiously.

"There, he recognises his name" I said sweetly...

Ok, I guess I'm too late then.

I was going to go for Tarwin and Berrigan. I'm not so keen on the others.

I've been really knackered with dd's illness but the lo slept through last night (hurrah!!) and I'm slowly recovering.

no, not at all sure he is ready Foxie - hate the hought of leaving him but am going to hang around in Kew so I can go back if he is upset. I guess most children don't know their childminder well before they get left for the first time.

My mum has been doing my head in this evening - "oh you're never going to see him, its so horrible that you're leaving him with a child minder". Thanks for rubbing it in, mum.

Of course she has known that he was going to a childminder for ages but that was before he was a real person to her. She's also piling on the advice... are you sure you're feeding him enough, why aren't you giving him more bread (?!), perhaps he's not sleepong enough (8pm - 8am) - she's driving me bloody nuts!!!

I know its because she was so involved when we were in Kaz and is finding it hard to let go and let me do things my way. Ah well, tell me your mothers are like this...

Sue - that sounds just about right. Mums (bless 'em) hearts are in the right place but they don't realise we know what we're doing. Grit your teeth like this and let advice you don't want go in one ear and out the other. Pretty soon you won't even hear it! Not that you asked but I'm going to advise you anyways . I reckon, you should stay there on the first day, out of sight (catch up on some reading or sumfink) so that if/when he gets upset, you're there. That way he won't see being with CM as a bad thing (not associate being with CM with you leaving him). Soon enough he'll realise that you're coming back. I know alot of people don't have the option of staging it like this but it worked so well for my DS that he waves me off when I drop him at play group with a huge smile on his face. (You'd better not be gritting your teeth at me right now!)

Foxi - awwww that's so sweet.

Mellow - poor DD & poor you .

Thanks for the hugs and words, it really picked me up COV - Not being cruel but I'm kinda glad I'm not the only one...sorry! Lemonaid - think I will screen calls from now on, ta for the tip.

No offence taken 2cute. I agree it is "nice" to know I'm not the only one, reassures me that I am not just being awkward.

Oh oh, an Australian bird name. You could name him Quokka.

morning all

good one Uwila!

Sue, I visited my CM with dd when I interviewd her. We were there an hour or so. Then my mum took her over there a few days later for a couple of hours, two days later she had a full day.

I did the same with the nanny, interview with child then 2 hour session. Maybe you could stay for an hour or so today then leave him next time?

Of course, MN advice is much more acceptable than mother advice!

Mellow, glad your dd is getting back to normal sleep for you.

I'm having another bout of bedtime paranoia. dd is fine, it's me! i still worry about her!!!!!!

Foxie, I guess it's welcome to Monti then!
