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 !

cant wait to have the next scan now

i have added a pic of me aswell, which i probably wont leave there forever lol

bloody hell, I am surrounded by young lovelies

will all you benchers adjust my travel rug when I get cold please, and put my false gnashers back in when I fall asleep...

Aww bless ya fucker, i bet you are lovely, but we cant judge as we havent seen a pic

Oooh that pictured is so clear tiredmum.

Aw tea she really is a cutie as is ds .
We found out today that ds will be making his confirmation next April so i am going to try make a big fuss of him & organise a party at the same hotel we held his christening at, he has had such a rough year & this will hopefully give him something to look forward to.

Lol Af, i think i am the oldest on the bench

The party sounds like a great idea elmo, its always nice to try and have a good time.

that was the clearest scan pic, they gave me 7 pics, its because they were having difficulties cos baby was being naughty that day and as they were doing measurements they had to try and get it right.

tea how is noah now, i always think of you when i go to the hosp, as i know he is there, hoping he is getting better now

Congrats TM (both on baby and good looks)

Why thank you very much spikey, not sure about the good looks though, are ya pissed? lol

Pissed off more like I'm only 3 years older than you and I'm getting my first wrinkles. Eye cream doesn't work just so ya know for the future

Oh damn i always thought i would be young forever, what with all of these miracle creams around. am quite disheartened to hear its a lie

Tiredmum you are lovely & its great to put a face to a name .
[yawn] im off to bed now, night x

Aww lovely pics tiredmum. Yeah Noah is still in hospital bless him. His mummy is trying to get him to learn to latch and fed from her now he's bigger. He's 5lbs something now. He's still got a few health worries though.

Half right AF - My hair is really straight and longish, but is quite blonde (natural, I am far too lazy to do anything with it, lol!) PMSL at "adjust my travel rug..."

Elmo the party sounds like a great idea, nice for your DS to have that to look forward to after a tough year. What a thoughtful mummy you are.

That is a good scan pic Tiredmum! So clear so early, too! Thanks for putting it up. :) Will await next one, but probably not patiently!

Tea that's great that Noah is over the 5lbs now! I hope they are successful establishing bf. Must be great just to be holding him more than they were able to. Will he be in for a while yet?

:)

He wasn't due until the end of Oct and he has a few issues at the moment still, so not sure about when he'll go home

That must be hard. :( When you think about it, he really is quite an amazing and strong little guy, not even meant to be born for a few more weeks yet. Hope his remaining challenges are the kind that can come along well with time and not too much intervention...

Poor little man! What a fighter he must be.

What are everyone's plans for the weekend?

Also, question for the bench: If you COULD have as many DC as you wanted, how many would that be?

Thanksgiving here, cooking up a storm! :)

As many as I wanted in an ideal world? Six. At least.

But I am indescribably grateful that we got our miracle baby after years of trying and medical intervention, so quite happy with one.

What is your number Cheerful?

Ooh Happy Thanksgiving gomummy

I only wanted two dc & i feel very blessed to have had a boy & a girl . After two emergency c-sections i was advised not to have any more dc after dd was born .
Plans of relaxation here over the weekend we have had a very busy week .

Tea - Baby Noah is still in our prayers x

I wanted 3 or 4 DCs but obviously being husbandless has kinda put the brakes on that.

I had some good news today about Noah, he is now 5lbs 8oz & his feeding tube has gone!!! He might might come home in the next few days - Noah & his mum are staying in a parents room at the hospital to see how they get on.

Yay for Noah!!! That's great news Tea! Wow, your family must be so excited, hope everything continues to come along well. :)

Oh tea thats fantastic news, you all must be so happy & excited about him coming home soon.

Has anyone seen the thread about old fashioned names you wouldn't call you child now? I posted about Gladys, do you remember that horrid picture Pheobe did from Friends? LOL

LOL tea, I do remember that! :) I love Friends.

YAY for Noah! I'm so happy for your family. Keep us updated!

I'm not sure what my number would be...I've always thought at least three and probably no more than seven. :o (We want to adopt from the foster care system sometime and will probably get a sibling set.) I was just thinking about it because DH and I are talking about TTC soon, and I'm so excited...and yet a part of me will be a bit sad because the three of us are such a close little unit as it is. There're pros and cons to every number I suppose! :)

AHHHH! Have just looked at scan! I love it tiredmum! Obviously a gorgeous, brilliant child. :)
