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

[mellow2]

Brand new thread for a new month.

no don't look he's waiting for you to do that!

he's so funny, he looks at his poo and says "look its a crocodile!",or "look at my big sausage mum!"

Hi all sorry, I have been so busy haven't had a chance to check in. DO I believe there is a meet-up at Quokka's place tomorrow am? If so (and it isn't to late) could I cheekily sneak in?

Quokka,

Pesto pasta would be lovely. Thanks for offering.

Hi COV - was thinking about you today - dd2 said how she'd made a new friend in your dd. She really likes her and wants to meet up soon.

MrsR - how about next Friday (i.e. a week and a bit away)?

Sue - how cute Monti is making deep grunting noises that usually precede a "big sausage"

quokka - this is probably a bit late now but what is happening at yours tomorrow? I just got back from my hols so have been off-line for the past two weeks or so, but if you are around would love to come by! But if I am too late, no worries!

ok really sorry guys but ds2 has cut his hand and I can't stop it bleeding. dh was meant to be watching him, but he got in the lounge and smashed a bowl and wine wine glass. Then ds1 went up the stairs by himself to find me leaving a trail of blood up the stairs! Need to take him to docs if it hasn't clotted (its quite deep) in half an hour - so think I need to cancel .

quokka - hope the ds's are ok

Dont worry quoks. Sure ds2 will be okay.

good morning all

quokka chances are ds will be ok but understand the worry.

we are off to kew, dd woke up talking about C&C 'oh what a good idea' as she puts it.

hope everyone ok

he keeps bleeding through the plasters, the cut is deep but can't see how they would stitch it up its on the inside of his thumb

sorry to ask but i guess you have applied pressure?

its really hard to keep him still! I think its slowing down now. HE has 2 plasters on now and have been trying to hold his hand up, but its near impossible!

yes moving around in toddler fashion is not helpful i would say pressure through the plaster while holding him quiet, read? watch tv? easier said that done i know.

often looks worst than it is but it is worth having it checked to get it clean and rule out any clotting problems

Well he hasn't bleed through these plasters so looks like its clotted, but am not going to take the plasters off for a while. I think its hurting alot as he wont let me touch it now.

Looks like we are back on for today ladies, but I might just try and keep it smallish. Cov and t2bgood, do you mind if you come over another time?

how was the holiday t2bgood?

no probs Quokka, will go off to chiswick with dh and kids in tow!! Have a good day.

holiday was good although we actually had a better time in ramsgate than in spain! We were in spain for a week and it rained 6 days out of 7 and it was cold, and ironically you guys were enjoying unseasonal great weather! LOL, but my girls still didn't want to go home. Its amazing how children can have a great time no matter what!

No problem quokka. TBH after a horrendeous night with DS I was contemplating pulling out anyway. If it does need stitching they would probably either use butterfly stiches (small pieces of tape) or special glue. Hope he is ok.

quokka - hope ds2's hand is better now.

hi JUST POPPED IN WHILE WAITING FOR CABLE TV MAN!
qUOKKA: HOPE DS' HAND BETTER.
KIDS CLIMBING TEH WALLS WITH BOREDOM

just put him down for a nap, which he was happy to do. Dh was pathetic, could handle the blood at all - what a lightweight

sorry about the bad night cov, raining in spain t2bgood???????????

whoooops - sorry for shouting

been meaning to ask oxo how have the changes gone - that you were planning to make at work?
