The OFFICIAL buddy bench/naughty bench thread No. 5

[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 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!

Sounds great Cheerful

I'm really tired and off to bed in a mo. Just showing my face. My cold has mostly gone now but I'm left with this exhausted feeling. Couldn't find the energy today to do more than a few household necessities nor yesterday for that matter But hello.

Hi campers
How are you all, the weather is pretty bleak here so we have been indoors sorting out bits,

When it occured to me, that we may have missed peoples birthdays, so hands up if we missed any

Although i could be going completley mad and it may have been a dream

completely

And dont worry tea we all feel like that at times

Cheerful that sounded like a lovely relaxing day

Btw jamie is doing well he is getting bigger, he wasnt well for a few days but getting better now

i am debating whether i can be bothered to get up and make some scones. as being on a diet I dont have anything yummy to eat. the rain outside doesn't help Oh and the boiler has broken down again.LOL Oh just remembered I've ditched the hand held mixer thingy so shall make scones in the all in one and see how they turn out. couldn't be flatter than they normally are.!!! have fun everyone time for a glass or 4 of wine now well in about 55 mins! I like this thread.

Ooo scones dont forget to do a few extra for the bench latootle

Hi everyone

Scones would be lovely latootle , actually someone has just started a thread in AIBU wanting to know why you are bumping old threads today

It's been a very busy weekend here , the garden is half done so we are getting there .
Hows everyone doing ?
Cheerful your new Rug is fab and should go lovely with your decor

Hi everyone! :) Just popping in to say hello.

DS is staying with my parents for three days. It was lovely for DH and I to sleep in late this morning together (that never happens) but the house is very quiet! :(

DH is just working on the floor and I'm going to get off mumsnet possibly and do some painting. You know, I really can't imagine what it will be like when the floor is done and all the walls are painted, etc. What will I do with myself?! :)

Oooh, scones! :)

Cheerful just enjoy the peace and quiet and relax

Elmo you must be happy that you are half way there

And i saw that thread in aibu about latootle

Ooo rug pics how'd i miss them.............

Lovely rug cheerful

Hello campers!

In and out quickly as not got long as it's half term here - how's everyone doing?

I have chicken in the slow cooker if anyone's interested?..................

Aggggghhhhhh

The dog has eaten the on/off switch for the cement
mixer

On/ off switch Elmo? LOL oh dear

Cement mixer? Like a huge piece of machinery?

Slow cooker chicken, divine! I am doing some sort of meaty beany potatoey barbecued thing. I am a bit as to its edibility.

Good morning to all of you lovely ladies!!! :)

Oh dear Elmo, can you replace the switch? Hope you didn't end up with ruined cement.

So winter is over, we've had our five minutes of spring and it is now summer apparently, +30 here today, not including the humidity. I never know what to wear in the morning, argh!

Hello

well after 22 phone calls i have located a new switch
So therefore i have earned lots of brownie points from DH as he couldn't get one anywhere . < shines halo>

Cement mixer is back up & running . (and the dog is not rotating well no more than usual )

cheerful mixer is one of these types www.donedeal.ie/donedeal/classifieds/viewFullPhoto.jsp?cid=6311279&ad=2138695 Dh bought it two years ago when he built a playroom for the dc's . Its very expensive over here to rent this type of equipment .

Hows everyone doing today ?

Yeahhhhh gomummy glad you finally have sunshine to enjoy

Hi all,

Elmo surely dh must owe you a favour well done for finding another

Tea i hope you are no where near the town??

Good job on sourcing the switch! at having your own cement mixer though!

Am I too late for the slow-cooked chicken Valium?

Hiya Tiredmum, we'll be needing an updated Jamie-fix soon!

How did the barbecue meal turn out Cheerful?

Are you feeling a bit better Tea?

So nosy I am with all the questions, lol!

It actually turned out ok! I had really thinly sliced fried potatoes, and I put them on top of a barbecue sauce-corn-ground turkey-black bean mixture, topped it with cheese, and let it all kind of melt together. DH and I have decided we're calling it Cowboy Potato Pie. :o

I have a feeling I'm about to get a bollocksing on this thread. I will need the Bench to retire to and lick my wounds, if so. :)

Good job finding the switch, Elmo !

What town do you hope Tea isn't near?

Nope. Was at home with the kids. Cheerful the news story I linkd on fb will explain why Tiredmum asked

• linked

Phew so glad you were safe tea, i couldnt believe it til i saw the news, i usually use nat west, so glad i wasnt down there today

Lol gomummy i shall put more pics up soon

We tried sprucing up the living room with some canvass pics and other bits looks lovely if ya dont mind me sayin, although we may move the lizard downstairs its quite spacious down there not sure what to do with it as we have the lounge on the 2nd floor
Any ideas would be great

canvas

Lounge on the second floor? It all sounds lush Tiredmum.

I don't use the Co op bank. I'm a HSBC girl but I generally avoid Watford unless I absolutely have to. Just because life with 2 toddlers is hard work at the best of times Without adding anything else into the equation!
