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

[mellow2]

Brand new thread for a new month.

I'll email you now nanou.

thanks foxie! . you ok? can't wait to go home. not fun being here...... guys very stressed out and bullying... did i say the 2 big bosses did not pay themselves this month? how do you read this?! i really hope i am going to get lucky with 3rd interview...

ta quokka

foxie the tax has changed recently so not really sure although we have discussed the same possibilty.

i am currently holding on to the baby stuff just in case we mange to produce another one.

i am finding it hard to ditch the weight not much motivation but at least exercise is back on track and it should help with mood which always plummets in winter.

mrsR is quite right regarding Uxbridge shops, pretty good there and the surrounding area is nice too.

nanou best of luck with the job hunting, i think it is hard to find jobs before April because of financial year end new budget projections etc. but generally pick up around now

by the way nanou I did ask my friend at carphone, and they were trying to let people go so no vacancies

thanks guys! yes it is hard indeed. dh has had yet another rejection yesterday . so i'd better succeed at my third interview on tuesday.... the pressure is on!

I always thought you didn't have to pay capital gains tax on your first property. Only if you owned a 2nd home. Has it changed?

We have a 5 year plan to move down to East Sussex if they bring in road pricing as we couldn't afford to travel down there every weekend. I can get a 5 bed detached house with a 3rd of acre for the price of our house. Now if only I could get a job working from home.

We still want to move abroad somewhere but want to keep the house just in case

MrsR - I love east ssuusex too (would be my 1st choice for relocation) but it is still quite dear. where were you thinking of. I just think Brighton = high prices!!!

we're thinking of a village just outside bath 9fab local catholic school) where my mum , brother and sister are

nanou - would love to see you - when do you want to come over?

right, must go and pick up ds, see you all later

erm foxie, why d'you keep asking me if I've considered Ham?

d'you think I'm a yob chav?

quokka, am cooking yummy sausages which dd will have for her tea.

my head hurts!

was great to see her tho, she was having lunch and i walked in and she just waved and said "hi" like i'd just popped out for milk or something!

2cute's in or near whitton isn't she? feltham always seems cheap when i look but i heard bad things about it too.

btw, we moved outside teh m25 for just over a year. big mistake so careful what you wish for ladies!

am so glad to be back in London but actually would prefer to be in NZ!

paddle! psml or is it pmsl ?!

where you away paddle? what are yummy sausages?

it's pmsl nanou!

yummy sausages from Quokka's pet butcher in Turnham Green.

i ran away for the night last night and stayed in a hotel in chiswick. apart from my dodgy head it's done me the world of good.

also got some very good counselling

Foxie - Battle. I love it there and ils are closer for babysitting/gardening duties.

What a coincidence dh was in Bath yesterday and said it was lovely - I asked him if we should move there and he said it was too expensive.

pc - you'll have to tell me about your move when we next meet. I really am considering it but would like to hear other people's experiences. I met someone the other week who had moved from Isleworth to Littlehampton and absolutely loved it down there.

when I went there the other day (the butchers) I told them I was moving to s'pore and they were genuinely upset. Its things like that I will really miss because they are always up for a good banter and no matter how much I bought I was never charged over £20

Might buy those jeans PC, just looking at them online

the DotP jeans Quokka? I'm thinking about getting another pair, they're so cheap and very comfy.

they were really nice in the butchers, i got 3 bits of steak too and it was 14 quid. they clearly have a £20 ceiling LOL!

what are DotP jeans?

dorothy perkins, are they \lin{http://www.dorothyperkins.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=20552&storeId=12552&categoryId=49453&parent_category_rn=49449&productId=276940&langId=-1\these} ones?

dont know what to do.... have just been warned that monday and tuesday will be late nights workwise cos bosses cooking a big deal at the mo. considering that my company is doing really badly (bosses did not pay themselves yesterday) and that i have seen no deal being done since i have been here (10 months) i dont know what kind of excuse i could give that would make it ok for me to leave at 3.45 on tuesday afternoon for my job interview in hammersmith.... i think i am going to ask the agency to reschedule and explain why. that's what my conscience is telling me... i can't afford risking to lose my current job.... i really can't.... HELP !!!!! what would you do?

what happened there? Try again - these

call in sick - its not your company. Don't reschedule your interview, I think that will leave a bad impression

doctors appointment maybe?
