The OFFICIAL buddy bench/naughty bench thread No. 4

[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 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!

Welcome Reinitinear, we're a friendly bunch on the bench! :)

Hello Tea! How are you these days?

That would be fun Elmo. I could have gone over to Ireland a couple of years ago but missed the trip due to work commitments at the time. Circs have changed though, so hopefully Cheerful's heist pans out...

I didn't read all the way through

Hello :)

Good afternoon all

Ooh between your bank heist & me doing the lottery we are bound some day to all meet up & the green Guinness will be on me

I got my hair cut short yesterday , i asked for a good trim & my hairdresser went a bit mad with the scissors not sure if i like it tbh , never had my hair above my shoulders before .

How is everyone ?

Ooh just noticed we have a cup of tea

Oh how lovely!!!!!

Pictures, elmo, pictures!

Hmm a dont mind if i do mumsnet just gets better lol

Elmo i want to see your hair, the last time i had mine done it was shorter than normal, i need to get it cut again, but i did actually like it, it felt so much lighter

I don't have a web cam sorry cheerful , so ill try get ds to upload a photo soon & ill put it on my profile then you can give me your honest opinion .

Is it shorter than mine

Evening!

Just checked out your pics Tiredmum your hair is gorgeous & really suits you , no mine is longer its just that I've always had long hair (mid back) length . I'll try upload a photo in the morning , but i reckon i will let it grow down a bit .

Thanks elmo, i used to have mid length too, for years and years lol, its easier and quicker to dry

Evening purple, how are you

or

Evening ! I LOVE the new tea emoticon!

Nice hair tired!

Ooh now see the being quicker to dry /style might win me over

Hi purple:-)

Haha elmo you will love it in a week (i bet you secretley love it already)

Aw ta valium, it cost enough to get it done
So what are we all doin tonight

Hiya valium the is great isn't it,

Hows your weekend going so far?

secretly - whoops

Lol. Lets just say i hope it grows on me. ....... Literally.

not too bad, the same old problems lurking about, far too trivial but troublesome all the same!

Do you want to talk about it purple? maybe we can help?

Trivial problems can be the worst, because sometimes there's no way forward and they just nag at you. Spill! We can help :)

Yup we are good listeners

Just the joys of having a stroppy teenager!

Poor old valium was getting lots of texts the other night, just going round in circles with her, harder to deal with when I didn't behave like this myself

Has she got a telly in her room purple? Can you make her room a bit 'bedsitty'? I remember having a telly in my room at that age - I felt SO independent, and looking back I am sure it was so mum and me didn't have to spend so much time glaring at each other together

Oh you have my sympathy. Ds is 12 & we call him kevin [from harry enfields program] the mood swings are dreadful & everything we ask him to do turns into an arguement.

How old is your dc?
