West London Thread August continued...

[Kewcumber]

shiny new thread to sully.

sfx, with tumbletots I just turned up to a session and paid for one to see what it was like before we joined up. Might be worth doing before forking out in case dd doesn't like it!

paddle - ouch! re Syon I thought there was a general entry fee for both adults and kids

ros might do that last time I looked they were offering free taster sessions

saw lots of kids on way to school this morning, guess it is adding to travel chaos

Paddle - legal but skint eh? Know the feeling...

Sushi - middle aged people doing funny dance routines at weddings? That was me last week at my friend's wedding !!

Good luck to all those braving travel to/from City.

Talking of cars, just had ours serviced £875 and need to get brake pads replaced soon aswell, that'll be another stupid amount of money.

Not going to make it to Syon park today paddle, DS has a temp, when are you free next this week? Would love to catch up.

No my cousin hasn't heard from her at all and to be honest she doesn't want to at the moment, she's too hurt and angry. It's a bit of a Jerry Springer affair (can't believe I'm posting about this). My cousin and her husband have just found out that their daughter has been sleeping around. Can you imagine a dad reading really sick stuff (made me feel ill)in his daughter's diary about things she did with numerous men under his roof while everyone was sleeping! The worst bit is she's run off with her mum's sister's husband (who she called uncle) turns out they'd been sleeping together for years since she was 14! She written about how she seduced him etc. He's 31 yrs old, sick b*stard. This is the kind of stuff you hear happening in broken families which fights, drugs etc going on NOT a normal loving family. I think the poor girl needs help. Shocking? I know!

lol foxi! You'll have to show us your dancing skills

2cute I am sorry your family are going through this, it is terribly upsetting.

please feel free to ignore me and I don't wish to upset you in any way but over sexualized behaviour in children often is a sign of some sort of abuse has been going on.

I understand they are a loving family but it happens even when it is the furthest from peoples minds precisely because they are not 'that' the sort of people.

being used since she 14 is not a good sign this kid needs help.
I am very sorry if I spoke out of turn. I do hope this gets resolved it is awful for the family

Morning all. Children are still fast asleep. I tried several times to get them up but to no avail, I think it is going to take a few days to get back into the swing of things. DD was supposed to be at schol today but I had to phone them to say she wouldn't make it. What has been decided re Nanou's leaving do, and where is Ele?

2cute, how awful for you and your cousin. Don't have any practical advice but I'm thinking of you {{{hugs}}}

2cute, so sorry to hear about your family problems. Hope the girl gets help soon.

2cute, a quick question re your car. Where did you have yours serviced, dealer or independent? I think we have the same manufacturer (ours is the smallest version, tho) and we need to do the MOT/service soon. TIA.

sfx - you didn't speak out of turn at all. But these things can happen to normal families, the whole over active sexual behaviour can happen when hormones kick in. Cousin & her husband took their daughter to see numerous docs to get help because she used to display violent behaviour etc not the right balance of oestrogen to control testosterone something or other. She's a twin so her sister was with her throughout. They are both very different. The "uncle" she turned to could have helped her but instead he took advantage I really hope that they manage to find her and get her the help she needs for all their sakes.

Sushi - we always go to the dealer because car came with lifetime breakdown cover which would become void if it was to be touched by someone other than a dealer. Buying the car's not the biggest cost its maintaining the flippin thing that costs a fortune!

2cute, really hope the girl gets in touch with the family asap. This is a terrible situation.

Thanks for the info re car. We are taking the car to the nearest independent one (but specialises this manufacturer) for MOT this weekend. It's still very low in milleage so we don't need the service for a bit. Sooo true about the high maintenance cost. Sigh.

once my car is out of manufacturers warranty I don't do annual servicing. I think its a rip off and most modern cars don't need it. My annual service mileage in this car is 20,000 or "annually" - given I do about 5,000 miles a year thats mean I could be conned into 4 times as much servicing as it needs.

Once its out of warranty I will get serviced based on the mileage not annually

Yeah me too - I go by mileague not annualisms. I've hardly driven mine for the past 6 months - well, actually its been broken down a lot of that time

2cute - what a nightmare for your family. Trying to control their daughter - do you think they will get the police to prosecute the uncle? He could end up on the sex offenders register if they did. Your poor sister - very hard to know how to handle it isn't it? Must be awful for "Uncle's" wife . Makes my family seem almost normal well maybe not

Paddle not sure if I have energy to get three kids round Syon Pk but will try and get out there later on. I'll text you if I manage it

Steppy - so you're two boys had haircuts this monring a little bird tells me

am i the only person going to syon this arvo then?

humph!

2cute, hope things get resolved soon mate.

anyone got a children (or adults come to that) pirate hat I can borrow fast?!

Foxi - My cousin not sister. I'd be freaking out if it was within my family!! Her daughter's 16 so police can't do anything. Kids are growing up far too quickly now, I was so innocent at that age (or atleast I think I was )

No pirates hat sorry QC.

oh crap, just realised I need a new swimsuit before Friday, guess I'm off to Hounslow this afternoon [boooo]

can you get to Woolies QC?

Hey PC - DS still sleeping but are you going to Syon still? When are you getting there? Will come if he wakes soon....he's having long nap, maybe singing wiped him out...

2cute - shocking stuff, hope it all gets sorted soon xx

DS still hasn't woken up

sj, we're heading out now. will prob be there for an hour or so then intend to head to the library and finally get joined up so i can stop spending a fortune on books for dd!

you've got my number if you're around.

I know, he's been asleep since 12.30. The past 2wks I don't know what's got into him he's sleeping 12-14hr/night and 2-3hr naps . If I wake him he's right sleepyhead grump so I just leave him to it, he must need his sleep. I think with all the weekends away weddings etc he maybe using the week to catch up on his sleep deficit. Who ever knows? Anyway means I'm on top of all my housework for once
