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!

Well I'm sure she's not any better after waiting five bloody hours in the lobby.

Prayers coming your way. Thinking of your DD!

Lots of prayers coming at you Elmo. Poor DD. :( I hope she can keep the fluids down, but if she does need the IV it is absolutely amazing how quickly it makes a difference. It is so scary how ill they get when dehydrated, you must be beside yourself. Sending DD (and you as well!) lots and lots of good thoughts.

So far so good , have gotten 100mls of 7up into her (thats what the doctor gave her to give her some energy )
Thank you all , hugs much appreciated xxxxx

Oh that's good Elmo, hope things keep looking up. About to have dinner, will continue to pray for her and check back later.

I'm sure it's the last thing you'll be thinking of but try to get yourself a tea and a snack at some point, she needs you to have your strength.

Oh good, sounds positive elmo. Wonder why they don't just hook her up to an IV and be done with it? After something similar with ds a few years ago, we always keep rehydration sachets in the cupboard, they are magic!

Gosh, you must be shattered, hope you get a good night's sleep once you are all home x

Oh and gomummy is right - drink and eat!

Going to bed but will check back in the morning :)

((hugs)) lovely Elmo. Hope your DD keeps the 7up down. Poor love. Sending a prayer up to the big man x

We can go home .
DD hasnt been sick since 5pm so the doctor
has put a wrist band on her & if she starts to vomit again
during the weekend we can go straight back in .
Sooooo tired and have a headache . poor dd is exhausted.
Have to measure all her intake of fluids & output of wee
over next 48 hours .
Thank you all xxxx

SO glad you can go home Elmo. Great news that she is keeping her fluids down. Both of you must be absolutely shattered, hope you can get some rest. Will keep her in our prayers tonight.

Glad you're home! Poor little thing.

Glad you are home elmo! Get those rehydration sachets for the cupboard - you can get them from Tesco's.

You must be exhausted! Afternoon naps all round :) xxx

DD was asking about my birthday on Monday and if I'd have lots of presents. I said probably not being a lone parent and no husband to buy me a gift and she ran off to start making me a birthday card She's soooo sweet. Love her.

So glad you're home Elmo with DD x

Awwww Tea , she is Sooooo cute xx I hope you do end up getting pampered on your birthday , god knows you deserve it x
Are you planning anything nice to do with the dc's on Monday ?

DD seems a little brighter in herself this morning , she is talking at least . The last two days she has been mostly sleeping .
Valium dh is popping into tesco's on his way home from work later to get the rehydration sachets for dd , don't suppose you could tell me the name of them(or are they just labelled rehydration ) please as dh is hopeless at finding anything that is not flashing in neon letters and jumping of the shelf in front of him

I buy dioralyte but most supermarkets/ chemist have their own cheaper version usually called rehydration sachets Just ask the Pharmacist if unsure x

New to this thread - uh hum uhh -hello

Im failing miserably with potty training
Friday -- DD was in lounge happy enough [barebum, and potty on floor], while I prepared dinner, came into living room to a smell [shocked] could not for the life of me find the poo, eventually found it, she had hitten it in the toy box [their is not a vomit smiley,else is be typing that] 5 malteasers size lumps

Carried on with potty training Saturday, which end up a flop, between shopping[having to put nappy on]she was barely barebum for 2hours, so decided to leave it until DH has a weeks holiday from work in August so if shopping needed/pop out then someone would stay at house with her to keep the nappies off

Fast forward until yesterday. DH took older 2 up to see a monster truck show, fab, id have the beauts in bed at 7 and peace, the house and tv to myself.
7pm she was still awake
So I chucked the hoover about before she went, hmph came across 2 lumps of hard poo, which have must have been there since friday of last week [embarrassed] so my house has been stinking of poo for a week, and nobody noticed? well we never noticed, perhaps guests have left my house thinking ...??

I shouldn't be laughing but I confess I am Welsh. As a lone parent with 2 toddlers my flat can be interesting at time when I find half eaten apples under sofas etc.

I'm delaying potty training my boy at the moment as I cannot face it, so I feel your pain. I'd leave it a few weeks and try again if it was me

Oh and welcome to the buddy bench

Oh elmo i have only just seen what happened, so glad you were allowed home, thinking of you and dd,

@ welsh, typical kids eh, you wait til you have to scrub it off the toilet lol, just kidding, i hope you start making progress soon

Oooo tea, its nearly your birthday, are ya excited

Hello gomummy, yanky, n valium, hope my buddies are ok today

Welcome Welsh!

Tiredmum I can't believe your ankle is still swollen and they haven't given you the second xray yet, that is just wrong. :( Hope you are not in too much pain.

Tea that is just so sweet of your DD. What a thoughtful and sensitive little girl she sounds.

Elmo, so glad DD continues to improve. I doubt it's the same name but here the rehydration stuff is called PediaLyte.

What is everyone planning for the weekend?

I know gomummy, it's daft, its still a bit painful, yeah thats what they said just keep taking painkillers like that's really going help the overall problem, i must have been unfortunate and got the doctor who couldnt be bothered, he looked at my like i was wasting his time, even though my ankle is huge, and painful, and i am still on the crutches, i cant even go out as i cant get my trainer on i had to go to hosp in a bloody ankle sock, i must have looked like a right wally

I will be watching dh do diy this weekend, and no doubt they will all be on the kinect later hmmpff i have my jigsaws on the computer, sod the kinect

i know there's a couple of mistakes in that last post, no i am not drunk, honest

Oh dear, oh dearie me....I have actually just ended a post with "go f%ck yourself, because you don't know sh#t." Never in my life have I written or said that to anyone.

Ha haaaa! Love you Cheerful x
