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!

Aw yeah they all had fun on the playstation I'm sitting here exhausted with a large glass of wine
How was your day ?

That sounds a great party, well done you! I'm ok thanks, bit quiet here this weekend as dh has taken ds to stay with his parents. I can't go as my leg aches really badly being in the car for longer than about an hour, and I seize up like an old lady They are back tomorrow so will be back to normal again! Saw a friend today and had lunch and tomorrow I'm having coffee with a friend so having nice 'me' time. last night I stayed up til gone 2am as I knew I could lie in this morning. It was utter bliss

OH i am very of the "me" time you lucky lucky lady i can barely stay up past 10pm these days , i usually go to bed at the same time as ds .
We are up early in the morning as ds has a special mass to attend in preparation for his confirmation in April so no lie on's for us this weekend .

Oh I remember getting ready to be confirmed - special times :)

I rarely get me time as dh works really long shifts and lots of weekends too - so I am savouring every minute, but at the same time will be delighted when they are home IYKWIM?

IKWYM my Dh works shifts too & only gets one weekend off each month so we tend to plan family days out for those weekends .

Awww so glad you had a good day Elmo with your lovely DS. Happy birthday DS

Why's you're day been so hectic Valium? of the "me" time too.

tea had to help a friend who had a BIG flood - took ages to clean up!

Thanks tea ds has just gone up to bed chuffed with himself being 12 lol

How is your weekend going so far tea ?

Oh no Valium , your poor friend

I'm off to bed now ladies but i'll leave the bottle of wine here for you to share

nite nite x

Nite x

Mmmm, pass the bottle this way. Oooh I love, love, love Poppy, Tiredmum! I think flower names are beautiful, and Poppy is a little more spunky-sounding than Rosie, Lily, etc.

Aww, happy birthday to Elmo's DS! Give him a hug for me :o

Poor Valium's friend, floods are such a nasty business.

Floods are indeed a nasty business, your poor friend. Lucky to have someone like you to help though.

All good here Elmo. It's Ex H's birthday today and he's coming by later to see the kids who have a present and card for him and a cake for us to sing to him whilst he blows out the candles with DD's help So it should be a nice day.

Morning! I am washing all the towels we used yesterday in the flood - PILES of them

Must think about what to cook later for when ds and dh come back - I am starting to get used to eating when I want and pleasing myself and it's only been a weekend

Awwwwwww that's so nice for the kids tea - when my parents divorced I rarely got to see my dad, I would've loved that .

Right, off to tackle ds's rugby kit......... I may be some time...................

Hi its elmos ds here thanks for the happy birthday wishes

Glad you had a good day Elmo's ds! :)

thanks

A boy of few words my son but he wanted to pop on here & say thanks himself .

So Valium are you enjoying the last few hours of peace & quiet ? Make the most of it while it lasts

Aw that sounds like a good day tea & i think its lovely that you can still enjoy time with EXH xx

Have you won the lotto yet cheerful we are still waiting on you to arrive

I am ready for them to come home now elmo

I wish I'd won the lottery! You will be the first to know. I'll come surprise you! :o

Well, I feel I well and truly belong on the Bench today because I got called an asshole on a thread last night! :o

Lol cheerful what thread was that

aww elmo your ds is so polite, it sounds like u had a lovely time

hope all u benchers are well

Cheerful, I can't believe it! Someone missed the boat as you are one of the nicest MNers I've "met" yet!

Elmo DS' birthday sounded great, well done you! How sweet of him to post his thanks!

How did XH's birthday go, Tea? May I just say once more...you are SO impressive.

I really like Poppy, Tiredmum. Cheerful hit the nail on the head perfectly with "spunky." I don't know any personally but the name makes me picture a very charming little girl for some reason.

So nice of you to help with the flood, Valium, water makes such a terrible mess. Hope the damage was no too great.

Well it is time for dinner/supper/whatever you call it, so must be off. Hope you've all had a great weekend! :)

Aww thats nice of you to say about the name gomummy and cheerful, and everyone actually

the kids have been a bit crazy and doing my head in this weekend gomummy, i have no idea why, thankfully they are now sleeping

Yesterday was a lovely day with the ex. The cake was lush and much silliness with balloons too.

Cheerful I'm shocked at you being called an asshole, what on earth warranted that? By the way what do you mean by "bangs" on your fb status

Morning everyone!

Aww Tiredmum, you're probably getting a bit tired and uncomfortable by now?

Tea that is so nice that it went well. Oh and what we call "bangs" you call a "fringe" from what I've figured out from MN.

Cheerful, I've had the bangs for a couple of years now for the same reason. I bet it looks good on you.
