West London (rest of) Sept 2007 thread

[mellow2]

For when the August thread runs out.

sfx = oh yes and you need to have sex too (handy hint No 3) Not as the same time as holding the newborn though or keeping your tummy warm, cme to think of it...

Paddle/Kew - I am a control freak and even when I leave DCs with DH feel neccessary o issue a comprehensive list of instructions to all and sundry:

hold Daddy's hand
Don't run into the road
Be good
etc

I can't imagine leaving the DCs with either of GPs for any length of time for various reasons - or with older sis' as she is very lax when it comes to keeping her children safe IMHO. When I went into hossie to have DS2 I worried the whole time about the DCs - despite the fact that my younger sister and a trusted friend had everyting in hand - anyone recall how stressed I was about who would look after them ?

Hence DH and I haven't been out without them for 7 years. I almost bought tickets for Christy Moore in couple of weeks but couldn't face leaving them all with a babysitter

Good point, foxie! Apparently, you need to 'enjoy' it if you want a boy.

aha! I found some paracetemol in my handbag and finally my headache has abated.

god it feels fabulous!

dd has just called from the GPs house. landline went and I picked it up a bit distractedly only to hear her gorgeous little voice say "ello mummeeee, I got a biskit. RABBIT RABBIT RABBIT"!!!

evidently a rabbit biscuit who became quite deaf once dd had munched off it's ears!

H just MSN'd, he's trying a different tack and now asking after dd. invited me to webcam

i am still ignoring him and experiencing a weirdly satisfying sense of power.

Glad you are feeling better paddle. How good it feels when you are better is tha only good thing about being ill. I hope to be experiencing it sometime soon.

Paddle - that's precisely how he feels when he is ignoring you - a sense of power!!!

Let him STEW girl

Sushi - oh its all coming back to me now - the orgasms factor!!

Hmm - not sure what to do about our mysteriouslodgr. He's left ithout saying anything and taken the keys - but owes this weeks rent. As far as I am concerned he will continue paying rent until he returns our keys ...

I don't see why I should have to track him down and ask for them back...

paddle - glad you feel better sounds like dd is having a great time.also pleased some mental image of me amused you

sushi - I shall beat a path to the local Mothercare and stand on look out for new born babies

Foxie wasn't Christy Moore under the penalty of death should he perform again due to dodgy heart? best go see him I say.

sex dh is issued with a schedule which was is supposed to enjoy it? He complains about timetable not romantic or something no idea what he means

KC at what people tell you. when I was pregnant I thought I would have to get back to work at 12 wks, eventually it turned out different but it is nobody's business!

took dd to Kew where she jumped in muddy puddles and shouted loudly without disturbing many people and even charming a few other, when she wasn't shouting

I have just fobbed the children off with a bowl of soup and french bread for supper and I expect dh and I will be having the same. Would you consider chicken and veg soup (homemade)to be a balanced meal?

home made chicken and veg soup is definately a balanced meal.

I know that silent treatment power trip thing too, only form the other end, as I am generally the ignoree.

absolutely balanced!

meant to so a slow cook casserole but went out to late and came back late so I guess it is chili for all

so is this the what's for dinner thread?

Well the kids here had spagetti and I had a carton of "super wholefood deli salad" from M&S - which was very nice I must say. withsome fake lebanese goats cheese yummy pastie things

sfx- oh I would be very, very sad if Christy Mooore died. We spent our honeymoon in his sister's hotel(DH lived in the same village as Christy Mooores sister so knew her). He really is wonderful. One of the few people who can sing unaccompanied and bring the house down. Declan Sinnott is supporting him who is also brilliant. Oh I wish I could see them, I think its sold out now...

What shall I do about our lodger then? I'm not chasing round after him - don't have time, but I need the keys back. His Mum paid his deposit so no doubt he's completely forgotten she paid me it!!!

well I am uber qualified to join in on a "what's for dinner" thread.

Having popped out to Tesco I am now armed with a ready meal, chocolate & wine.

I am about to pour some wine, run a bath and sit it for a long time!

Then I will lovingly, in the style of a michelin star chef, microwave my ready meal and sit on the lounge in my PJs.

all activity liberally interspersed with wine.

i apologise in advance for anything offensive, maudling or just plain ridiculous I might say this evening.

ps: you n me both ele!

pps: also bought more paracetemol

ppps: hope you're on the mend soon too CoV and your homemade soup sounds delish.

maudlin

it's started already and i haven't even poured the wine yet!

Foxie, just text him and ask him to pop the keys around so's you can return his bond.

If he has forgotten his Mum paid it then he'll be over like a shot!

Or text his Mum and tell her you'd like to return the bond but her ds still has his keys and you've got someone else moving in etc.

Talking of which did my friend get in touch?

Paddle - that sounds like luvverly dinner to me!!

Maudlin and all

I don't have lodgers Mum's number (never did). I don't have his either as it is on my old mobile which I lost!! This is the problem!!!

Hi guys,
Can I ask you to opine on THIS THREAD, please?

I am considering moving....

Foxie - D'oh, hope you manage to get in touch with lodger!

I'm about to make veggie shepherd's pie followed by some ice-cream, yum. I'm starving thinking about it.

KC - can't believe some people are so insensitive and would say something like that

I never knew piddle sticks existed - are they any good??!

DS still frazzled from excitemnet of grandparents last week, Oxford trip, Tumble Tots & science museum. Going to stay at home the next few days, apart from HV visit tom to get his eyes checked, I think he may have a squint...

helloooooo

yep, trying-to-get pregnant sex is nothing like enjoying-yourself-sex however many features you raed about 'just relax and it will happen." (which it may well do, of course)

foxie, i'm sure he'll get in touch - he seemed a decent chap. and, once his mum asks him about his - or rather
her - deposit he'll be round pronto.

paddle, PJs and wine - my favourite combination.
i'm hiding from my brood who are runnig round in a post-bath frenzy...yes, yes, i know they're meant to be calming down now..

i've been very mealy-mouthed this week with dh phoning me telling me abot his posh hotels and where he's going for dinner
tbh, he's working hard (says so himself so must be true..) but, as we all know, work stress or being at home with children? pah! no contest..

kew, can't go swimming this fri, but would be deffo up for it next fri/another fri if it all goes with a, er, splash. sorry..

Paddle - that sounds like the most perfect evening. Will there be some trashy TV too, or a pile of glossy mags to thumb through? Stepford, can you go with your dh next time - or go on a business trip yourself and leave him at home with the kids

well, my bath was lovely and my 2nd glass of wine is also lovely.

an MSN message from H just gave me a wobble but I have set myself to "appear offline" now. He is getting increasingly antsy. I wonder what my next move should be.....

readymeal is in the oven. i am deliberating over what TV to watch, will check movies on my cable channel I think.

whisper

of FFS, he's threatening to rent a room in teddington now.

if he does that then i guess it will preclude him from moving in here when i go.

altho at this rate it won't matter as the lease is up early jan and i won't be moving till mid dec so i guess it's only a few weeks overlap.

i'm rambling but he's bloody rattled me now.

but paddle isn't he the king or inaction and indecision? can you really credit that?

maybe not the best time to start an argument this is supposed to be a chill out time.

personally I find it hard to do silent treatment but in this case maybe for just one more day

ignore Paddle, Ignore...

soup is just runny stew isn;t it? very balanced.
