WEST LONDON MEET-UP THREAD - APRIL 2007 - from Acton to Sunbury everybody welcome

[mellow2]

Brand new thread for a new month.

x-post!

dd's fine. actually she hasn't been more well for a while. think those ABs she had week before last really nailed anythign she had hanging around.

i've had a filthy cold all week and the cough is crippling me. seems like i hurt from head to toe and now i've been on the loo half the night!

god knows why, i've barely eaten anything all week. which isn't helping with the energy levels i know.......

pc , sorry your under the weather. Let us know if your ma can't help out.

Wow artic monkeys, ds1 can sing the fireman sam opening over and over again. I think I would much prefer artic monkey's

Well we have been really busy clearing the loft, garage and de cluttering the house. Its quite liberating getting rid of so much stuff we really don't need!

it is obvious but stress does weaken the imune system and you have had a lot of that lately, but do try and look after yourself, i know easier said than done.

hi bunyan hope you ok too

paddle/quoakka - she also knows our christian names now and wants cousins to visit again today thats babysitting sorted

thanks quokka, she's on her way now. i feel rubbish for having to ask for her help - have always coped before.

never seems to be a way out of this mess.

sfx, yeah i know. i think i am just completely run down. really don't know what to do about it all tho.

littel paddle's favourite band is Snow Patrol but she likes a few P!nk tracks too! such trendy babies LOL!

Sorry you're feeling rough Paddle - your cough did sound horrible yesterday. Those of you around yesterday will know that DS's favorite song is Bob the BUilder - disappointed more of you didn;t join in though...

have a single (baby-less) friend coming - may talk her into going to Chiswick house again as it was so nice yesterday

MOrning all. Lovely day here again, think we will spend most of it in the garden. Sorry you are feeling rough paddls. We have recently come to the other side of a period of months where we all seemed to lurch from one bug/cold to another. Hopefully this warmer weather will help. Thank goodness dd is back at school tomorrow. It has been hard work keeping her entertained for 2 weeks. Heaven help me when we get to the summer holiday arrrgghh.

Paddle - you poor thing - you are right to ask your Mum to come over - you really do need to rest up in order to shift that bug

Sue - we may go to chiswick again - or may do paddling pool in garden - will text you if we get out of the house

bunyan - sorry i didn't respond to your last text - ended up rushing out of the house in the end as it was getting so late and I was desperate to get out. chiswick was lovely btw - good future venue for meets

quokka - i love that clearing out feeling - very good for the sould to get rid of loads of "stuff" you don't need

another fine day today

do I get brownie points for the Chiswick House suggestion?

you get three gold stars!!!

Ok now have just lugged all the clothes down from the loft - my god there is a lot! I also found

Avent Sterilizer
A moulded plastic baby bath seat
A sit up plastic bath seat

Any takers?

I feel like this is never going to end

Paddle, sorry to hear you're under the weather. Stress definitely lowers immune system and also according to my gp there are quite a few nasty bugs going around atm. We all have tonslitis! So know how you feel. Hope your mum could give you some rest. If you need a break why not come visit us for a weekend? You could chill whilst dd and ds entertain your ds in the garden

Quokka... it will end. I felt exactly the same when I started getting stuff ready for the move. Amazing what one accumulates!

hi everyone..oh dear, watched dr who last night and, er, quite fancied face of boe!?
can't be right, can it?

being a Dr WHo virgin I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about!

MrsBD - I'm probably available on 5th but need to be coordinated and check my diary.

Paddle, hope you're feeling better - can you take tomorrow off?

sue..that's one virginity you've definitely got to get rid of, m'dear..
paddle..you poor thing..hope you feel better soon
foxie...well done, that woman, for getting the brood out..all at the same time in the same place..

PMSL at stepford fancying the face of Boe !!!! you must like very mature men!

well we had a fine time in chiswick house - lovely to see you sue - very chilled arvo after mega stress getting kiddos out of the door. what a great venue

paddle - throw a sickie tomorrow - you deffo need to rest or you won't get better

mrsd - are you still enjoying it in marlow? met any nice mums there yet?

quokka - deffo interested in a bath seat for Monti - he lurves his baths

...err must get the children to bed now

Foxie, yup still enjoying it in Marlow. Met a few mums, not much happening during 1/2 term though . Well it took me a while to get the west london posse together so I'm sure I can do similar here

SJ, would be nice if you can make it

hi all, wondering where ur off 2 next just me and my ds 2 and half! was on here noths ago, but couldnt get back on! xx

morning all

paddle how are you doing this morning? hope you managed some rest/ day off

hi choc lost how?

stepford managed to catch repeat yesterday 'the face is wise'

foxie got the new sticker book does your ds want it? is he collecting the stickers?

we had a lovely time yesterday went to pools in the park, very pleasant, also love the fact that the library is open on sundays

Hi chocabloc

sfx Richmond libraries are great aren't they? the main one in richmond has such a fab kids scetion

Monti woke me every three hours last night 1am, 4am, 7am

morning all

Am now back and am free tomorrow if anyone wants to meet up?

MrsD - me and ds might possibly do the 5th, not sure if we've got anything planned. Will check with dh & let you know. I might drive if anyone would like a lift, can fit 1 adult & 1 car seat.

Hi chocobloc

Paddle - Hope you have done a sickie and are resting. Give me a shout if you need a hand.

Foxi - That's why I think summer's great, we get to hide our speep deprived eyes behind big sunglasses and look trendy at the same time!!

BigD - I'm not sure about the 5th yet because it's my cousin's birthday that wknd. Can I let you know in 1 / 2 wks time?

Can a have a bit of a moan please.... I had a sh*tter of a weekend. Me hormonal/tearful due to time of the month and DH being a typical man had to be even more hormonal and stroppy to top it off! I swear there's a male version of PMS or is it just Stoppy Old Git syndrome?

2cute - you didn't have a good weekend, men are useless aren't they!

puds, would be great if you can make it

2cute, no problem as long as know about 1 week before the 'event' so I can plan the shopping As for sog syndrome... that's an affirmative. My dh also defo suffers from the equivalent of pms. well either that or I'm just more indifferent to his manerisms when I'm not pmt'ing
