Hello all

I've got a letter re booster jabs, not done anything about it yet.

Gingeme - i'm still a maybe for london meeting. can't do mondays if that influences decision.

Have docs appt this afternoon for H's eyes, and of course they've cleared up today
will still go i think. friends coming round in a bit and they can stay here with T while H & I go. (hopefully won't take us too long) Will do pasta tea for all the kids when i get back as thankyou

Boys trashing the place, toys everywhere atm, grr.
Anyone got one of those food-themed play tables? H is currently standing there putting his face right into the 'bowl' and laughing at the lights.....weird kid.
T singing to himself as he puts puzzle pieces in the wrong place o purpose.

best go, friend here

Gingeme · 28/01/2009 14:54

Lactose in jabs who'd have known?
jks lol at H laughing to himself they are funny aren't they?
Meant to say your welcome to bring your other dc's to my place we have loads here when theres a party. Only trouble is we live in a flat so I'll have to clear a space in the shed to put buggys!!

Right Edward smells so better change him before picking David up. Still bloody raining though

Gingeme · 28/01/2009 14:56

Right Wednesday 11th Feb. My place. Whos Coming?

simpson · 28/01/2009 16:09

Gingeme count me in

Spoke to nurse and they are now doing DD's booster jab on 20th then MMR at a later date.

They had to check the lactose situation but apparently the batch they are using ATM doesn't have lactose in it and they will make sure DD has that one, just to be safe.

Gingeme · 28/01/2009 16:25

Thats good news on both accounts
I'll give my gp a ring tommorrow about Georges jabs.

mixedmamameansbusiness · 28/01/2009 18:31

I am up for a meet up Gingeme.... it seems i have missed the discussion as i normally work on wednesdays (am off tues and thurs in case anything changes) but might be able to change my days they are normally quite flexible.

And to all the Coverntry meet uppers... I have booked my ticket... have decided DS1 can have a nice day out with daddy and just DS2 and I will come.

Simpson - I have got the same train going up there so we can arrange a meeting point nearer the time but couldnt find the same train back so am on the 16.11 back to London. I just pray that DS2 behaves as he doesnt really want to just sit in my lap that much anymore.

Looking forward to all the imminent meet ups.

JustKeepSwimming · 28/01/2009 19:46

What time G on the 11th?
Thinking about co-ordinating with DH and 3 of us coming up then staying the night, depends on his diary.

right, off to find some wine and text dh to see what time he's coming home - whether to wait for dinner or not...

Gingeme · 28/01/2009 19:59

Jks I don't have the room for you to stay!
What time suits you realy. ds4 goes to plaaygroup till 12 then usualy has a sleep but he may not if there are people here George usualy has a sleep till about 12-1 so entirely up to you realy.
Mixedmamma would be lovely to see you again too
I will leave a message for Barristermum on FB too and hope she can make it. Ooh better think about what to get in to eat. Everyone alright with chocolate cake
Right off to watch Waterloo Road now. Will pop back in an hour

Lilyloo · 28/01/2009 20:00

Gingeme LOL at JKS staying!!!!!

Simps glad you sorted jabs. Wonder what would have happened ??

mixedmamameansbusiness · 28/01/2009 20:05

Love waterloo road

JustKeepSwimming · 28/01/2009 20:21

PMSL at inviting myself to stay - no you loons, DH may be staying in London that night anyway so we might stay with him
(as if i would just invite myself and 2 boys to stay over, really!)

chocolate cake sounds perfect
But we would bring stuff too anyway.
Was thinking afternoon too as ds1 has pre-school normally in the morning. 2ish?
waiting for dh to get home to check diaries generally anyway so will add to list to sort out.

Lilyloo · 28/01/2009 20:25

Guessed that JKS sounded like dh was going too

OP posts:
JustKeepSwimming · 28/01/2009 20:35

Oh well of course that's perfectly normal then, inviting myself, plus 2 boys + DH to stay

i dunno - G are you a good cook, how are you bacon butties for breakfast ?

Gingeme · 28/01/2009 21:08

Bakon butties I can do. Brown or red sauce? We have a ready bed and blow up bed too
2 sounds good. Like I say DH is on his holiday so he can do the school run etc. I'm sure he won't mind Realy looking forward to it now. Still not sure what to do about your buggies though. I guess if they fold down there should be enough room in our shed. Its either that or leaving them on the landing downstairs or carrying them up 6 flights to leave them outside my door. Safe enough to do that bot its a pain to do. I'll have a sort out in the shed. Give me an excuse to do some more spring cleaning
Lillyloo are you joining us too?
Youll have to message me on fb and I'll give you my address.
I am on the Picadilly line. Arnos Grove is the station you want to get off.
Right gonna have a bath before DH gets home.
Hope you have a good night xxx

simpson · 28/01/2009 21:10

Mixed mama - glad you have booked ticket. Sorry wasn't online earlier to reply to FB. Think my train back is on a few mins earlier than yours.

Is there anyway we can make it a bit before 2 as I have to travel quite a few stops on Piccadilly Line and don't want to get caught up in rush hour on way back?

Lilyloo · 28/01/2009 21:13

ooh Gingeme would love too but you are a little too far away for me!!
Am mustering up all my driving abilities to do 2 hrs for MM'S meet up!!

madmouse · 28/01/2009 22:34

very at Ginge's meetup before ours. Especially with bacon butties , enjoy gals, as long as you promise to come to Coventry!

On that note, I note that the transport museum was greeted with some enthusiasm. We could meet there instead if people want, there is a goo pay and display not far away and it is easy to get from the museum to MaccyD, Pizza Hut or Nandos. Opinions please

How's everyone else? LaT's big day today?? Hope Sabela has no temperature...

Nathan is still eating eating eating. Simpson he ate 1.5 weetabix again this morning. Two little fromage frais at the cm then dh gave him another one waiting for me to come home as he was not sure what to give him for lunch. never min, polished off a whole jar regardless . Posseted a bit of food so made him skip afternoon snack, ending in him being furious with hunger at 6pm. Ate a big homemade dinner (pasta brocolli cheese sauce) and a pot of yogurt plus milk before bed. He feels sooo heavy compared to normal lol. Huge tummy!

Lovely male friend here, talking about his new computer business idea with dh yawn. Bought nathan lovely outfit from Next (he is the type that runs by the store on the way here and buys something he likes), shame it is 9-12months with short sleeves and trousers. Very nice though. Luckily gift receipts in the bag, may swap for a bigger size. sweet though.

JustKeepSwimming · 28/01/2009 22:35

G - have sent you a message. Red sauce only for me please
not sure re travel options....

simpson - up to G but atm i am flexible, just trying to sort hows and whens with DH.

Lily - i am driving to Coventry too, hoping the satnav will do the hard work.....

struggling to keep up with a location programme. dh always comes home more awake than i can cope with. i try to stay awake so he can 'download' his work stuff and i can tell him what i may (or may not) have been up to....

LuckySalem · 28/01/2009 22:40

Ok I think I'm going to write a quick message to you all then I'm going to try to sleep tonight.

Last night I still didn't get to sleep till 1am, despite being in bed by 10:30 Ahh well, hopefully sleep better tonight.

MM - DD loves pizza so here's a vote for that from me and DD and prob A as well
Can you tell me what kind of figure I need to bring in terms of money as I'm assuming that the soft play will charge, as will transport museum and pay & display etc.

Today we got up at 9am and went almost straight to silly barts (soft play) where DD had a sausage, hash brown, slice of toast & about 6 chips.
Lunch - Another slice of birthday cake and half a pack of skips. Bottle
Dinner - 2/3 handfuls of pasta and meatballs & yogurt. Bottle.

I think she's starting to up her appetite!!

madmouse · 28/01/2009 22:53

wow Lucky full English for A, no beans??

re cost: soft play is £2.80, transport museum used to be free, sure it still is. Parking I would say about £4 for the afternoon, food depends on where we go.

hth

LuckySalem · 28/01/2009 22:55

Ok so £15 would be enough then plus fuel. I can cope with that. Shall have to save up... No, no beans cos I didn't have any on my plate. Was so shocked at how much she's been putting away lately, esp cos she normalyl doesn't really eat much - I should get her weighed really.
