The OFFICIAL buddy bench/naughty bench thread No. 3

[teaandcakeplease]

Come hither all those who haven't found their place on mumsnet, have scrapped in Aibu or crossed words in chat. The buddy bench shalt not judge.

The buddy bench will hand out wine and cakes, it will join you on your scoffathons getting pissed

All those who enter the Gazebo and sit on the bench, will have their sins erased and be given a warm welcome and cheerful chat from CheerfulYank, gomummy, tired mum, Elmo, AF, HE, Cheesey and far, far too many more to mention.

Welcome to the buddy bench, we look forward to meeting you all

Oh and don't forget, last one to leave polishes bench and locks up !

Well I have decent hair and I will trade it to you for your arse in a New York minute. :)

It's unseasonably warm here, gomummy, and I'm hoping it holds out til the house is done. :) Sleet's the worst, though! I don't mind snow as long as it's proper snow, but just mush falling out of the sky...bleaurgh!

I like your hair color tea!

Sorry it's £259!

I got a new parka from Top Shop last winter

It was 80 quid

I felt very decadent !

Cripes almighty, in dollars that's...wow. Wow! I wear stuff from Target, the Gap if I'm feeling posh. :o Since I don't drive and it's million degrees below zero here in the winter I do usually have to splurge on outerwear though...I spend a lot of time walking around in the snow! :) Nothing like that much though. Is NF northface? I am going to get one of those this winter I hope, but I will haunt the outlet stores, not pay full price.

Question for the bench: Are silly bandz big with the kids there? Will look them up and add a link

They're these Huge with the kids here and I was going to send some in a package to someone with DDs in the UK. Think they'd like them?

Yes North Face

A nice coat does make a difference like hair to how you feel but by God that's a fortune! I have Christmas to save for for starters, let alone putting food in my DCs tummy and bills to pay! Top shop have some nice stuff.

Dare I confess I'm listening to DCs speech live right now. I want to hear for myself exactly what he said, the whole speech. The media spin everything and I struggle with the mumsnet threads on politics with the people who shout louder over everyone else on what they think and their opinion - you know?

I know, tea. I have an envelope labelled "vaccuum fund" that I put my spare money in. A flippin vaccuum! But I need a really good one to suck up the tumbleweeds of Golden Retreiver hair floating around my house, and the good ones are expensive.

I had a dating scan a while back tea, the normal scan will be the end of this month

well if it snowed for christmas day, and melted the next, then that would be fine in my books

the ice makes me

when i last had my hair cut it cost me £50, they did a good job though

I have a good friend who cuts hair at home, who does mine. She charges £22 but she's taken an IOU this time as I'm so broke

Be great to hear about your scan soooo long to wait though Love to see a pic of the baby.

my sis cuts mine, for nowt

its really nice that you have a friend like that, lucky you

AF you are even luckier

i might try and put piccy of scan up so you can see it, dont wanna be accused of being a nutter though

she gets favours back too

yeah ! scan pic ! scan pic !

It will be there in lots of time for Christmas, lol! :)

OK, my turn, what do you think my hair is, AF?

Oh yes we want to see the scan Tiredmum!!!

I'm with you on the outerwear Cheerful, worth spending the big bucks on things that fight off hypothermia, lol!

gomummy, I think your hair is conker brown and glossy and very, very straight

So...opinion on the silly bandz?

my kids are a bit too old for those, tbh

somebody mentioned these animal band thingies on a thread the other day, so they are already in the UK I think

I've seen ads for bendaroos which sound similar my DD has mentioned them after seeing the ad on tv but I've never bought them. Are they good fun then?

Helllooooo Gomummy! I think snow all the time in Winter would wear the novelty off somewhat But if I was there being fed and watered by you and our DCs playing together whilst we chatted, now that would be fab I'd do the washing up In my dreams.

So what is your hair colour Gomummy? Did AF guess right?

I should be studying instead of on here. Someone speak to me sternly!

In my dreams - being there in Canada. Not washing up.

I really need to use more punctuation in my posts

Ok, wait til i have my scan at the end of the month and i will put it up.

only because i was pushed into it

just kiddin'

Aww tiredmum it would be lovely to see a scan pic

tea your hair is fab, & dd is sooo cute in your profile picture.

Not sure those bands have hit Ireland yet cheerful but they look like fun

gomummy sleet already.

hiya elmo, okay settle down

i have been a good girl and figured out how to scan in my dating scan and put it in here, i am so proud of myself. right this was done at 10wks and a few days

She's at a yummy age, I kiss her cute little cheeks all the time and hug her. Must go to bed.

ohhh, scan pic !!!!

isn't it fab ?
