Meet-ups: WEST LONDON MEET-UP THREAD - July 2007 - from Acton to Sunbury everybody welcome

[mellow2]

Brand new thread for July.

get away with you Cov - luring my potential school runner out to the country-side...

yes, yes , kew (soothingly) if that makes you feel better..

well, i'm jusy glad we bought this place 18 months ago because we wouldn't be able to afford it now. but who can actually afford the property they buy, eh? eh?

dunno Mellow - not sure what the difference is - Prima I think. My mum has decided to look at the article/photos before telling anyone

The reason I won't venture out of London is because I get "funny looks" by the locals when I do.

I certainly wouldn't be comfortable living outside London.

bought a great housewarming card once - "Traditioanlly people send gifts to owners of a new house.....

So I have sent your bank a pot-plant"

A but KC she makes Sushi and I love sushi.

I have been sitting here MNing for the last 1.5 hours as both the children are asleep , a busy weekend and the end of term have really taken it out of dd. Do you think it will last all holidays?

OOo KC is the magazine out yet?

I wouldn;t mind so much for myself (being an adult and making choices etc) but don't like the idea of gherkin-kun being an oddity. OF course when I find myself singing aloud "wheels on the bus" in the supermarket I do doubt my consitency in that approach

I quite like the look of that Thames Ditton one...

But we are not moving. I think I shall just have to throw some Stuff out instead.

LOL at that card Kew!

Sushi - it says under offer - is it on the market again?

I quite like this house But my husband says I have my aspirations set too high. Quite....

He's talking rubbish starry. Mind you, you could just tell him you'll need to get a new DH, who can afford to keep you in the manner you aspire to...

have just bought a tread mill so at least I can "get out" when its raining

Paddle I got the cheapie Argos one , as I can't be arsed bidding on e-bay then driving to deepest Basildon !

starry..we've just put an offer in on that house you like

So the freelance work has taken off then eh?

Steppy - just left a message on your moby

Good job that theres two nearly identical ones, we will be neighbours! LOL!

all these lovely places make mine look like the maid's quarters: www.findaproperty.com/displayprop.aspx?edid=00&salerent=0&pid=634508&agentid=04056
LOL

ps: foxie, i think you can officially be labelled a lazy-arse which is weird as you've just bought a treadmill!

ooops! Just realised it's under offer. Just walked past the house on the way back home and it looked a bit small from outside.

I'm deffo staying put here in Kew or London for the same reason as Mellow and QC described.

MrsR, apparently dd saw a clown today (whilst cm picked up her ds from a party) and threw a huge wobbly!

she was still quite subdued when i picked her up. poor thing!

note to self: no clown oriented birthday parties!

mrs r..that's sad, isn't it?

paddle - lots of kids, and indeed adults, are scared of clowns, aren't they? it's because the younger the child, the more they depend on facial expressions and visual cues to "read" a person as their verbals skills aren't fully developed. so, anyone obscuring their face - ie a clown or wearing any sort of mask scare the bejyasus out of them..

thought i'd share...
well I think it's interesting anyway

Paddle, I am terrified of clowns and scared of certain dolls, too. I used to have nightmares till late teens. Poor littlepaddle!

but starry that one is close to railway line

more my kinda thing

Hi all,

Our next move will definitely be out of London, we just can't agree on where atm!

I have posted on the Nanou thread but same as mellow, if it is at Cov's then I don't think I could make it.

Are there meet-ups happening this week? Am I & ds allowed to come?

Rosmerta, you coming to Cho San for sushi tomorrow evening 8 pm? (putney)

Oh I forgot about that, yes I am starry if that's ok?
