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!

Sorry to hear that Valium. Hope you can get some R&R this weekend.

Tea this might be a dumb question, but can I send you some jam? I'd be happy to, but don't know if it would qualify as one of those things that can't go across the border, iykwim? If it is allowed, just let me know your preferred berry! :) Your day sounds absolutely lovely, and the lion cub image is so sweet, though I'm sure it must be a handful to manage at times. DS would be so envious of the sibling. I hope someday he understands that we would have given him one if we could have.

Cheerful are the wizard [hsmile] because of the end of the Harry Potter series?

I'm sorry for your loss, Valium .

Yes gomummy that's what kind of dip it was. My domestic goddess SIL asked me for the recipe, so it turned out rather well. :)

The parties were great! All the kids had fun at the bouncy place. The attendants were GREAT and very efficient. My nephew only drove me insane part of the time, which is a big step for both of us. :o The family party in the evening was really good too. It was so hot, though! It's supposed to get up to 37 tomorrow and the humidity is terrible. DS had gotten a slip n slide for his morning party so he and his cousins played on that.

Gomummy you could check here about the jam?

I'm melting...ugh it is so hot. We're the same Cheerful, supposed to be over 40 with humidity and stay this way until Wednesday. It is so humid that my laundry won't dry on the clothesline!

Thanks for the link also Cheerful. It is a well done site, but has convinced me that if I ever get to travel to the UK, I will bring NOTHING and just buy everything I need when I get there!

Glad your parties went well. Slip n slide will come in handy today I bet!

Wet and rainy here again. So can you ship me jam? Salivates and dreams about it. How much is a flight to Canada to visit you GoMummy? What airport would I need to land at?

Oops forgot the with my first comment

Tea you'd have to land at Pearson International, which is in Toronto. A ticket (from Heathrow?) is $2000.00 economy or $4200.00 first class....but that's Canadian dollars, I haven't a clue what it converts to in your money. (Knowledge of foreign currency other than US is limited to what I've garnered from Corrie, LOL!)

Will take me a day to get to the airport to pick you up, so just give me your arrival date!

And if you're up for a road trip we can drive to see Cheerful!

Seems to be about £455 per adult for a return if I come end of August

Seriously we always joke about meeting up, but I so wish we could

I agree, we'd have so much fun! Good food, great company, who could ask for more? (Well, ok, a lottery win might help it happen...)

What's that movie where the guy starts building the Ark? That'll be me in the backyard, building a boat big enough to cross the ocean.

Yes, a Bench Meetup would be so much fun! There must be some way we can make it happen...

Evan Almighty. I loved that film

We could canoe over Gomummy ! :o

Yes that was it Tea!

Excellent idea Cheerful! Tea I have an extra canoe, the plan is coming together...

We could attach them together and fill one with supplies...

no one wants to visit me then ?

Agghh this damn phone, thats it i am saving for a new one, i want the xperia damn phone, thats it i am saving for a new one, i want the xperia

LOl tiredmum your phone is very funny

Sorry your foot is still swollen , you really need to get it checked again at the hospital . [hugs]

I like your phone Tiredmum . Mine also has a personality of its own. It's really old; my friend had it and gave it to me as a replacement when I put mine through the wash. So its very old and cranky and doesn't charge unless it's positioned exactly right. :o

Of course we will come visit you when we're in the UK Elmo! Once we're over the ocean we'll come see everyone! :)

Just dropped DS off at Vacation Bible School, hope he's having fun. His counselor looked like she was about 11.

you will have to cross the Irish sea but seeing as i live beside the sea i could camp out there with lots of goodies awaiting your arrival . lol

Glad ds had a lovely party

Hello :)

tired Get to the fracture clinic NOW ( or asap!) you know, the big one attatched the the big hospital near you - you need to get it checked out. The swelling wouldn't be a concern, I have swelling 3 years on, but the pain needs to be checked.

LOL...I'm just picturing you waiting patiently on the beach Elmo :) With a bonfire and bottles of wine.

I might be very slightly tipsy by the time you arrive

Oh and if you take too long i might end up looking like this by the time you arrive www.imdb.com/media/rm545560832/tt0162222
only in female form of course

Hello everyone!

A bench meet up sounds fab. Maybe we could attach inflatables to the bench and see will it float? Mind you the resulting water marks might send gomummy over the edge

I'm actually having a luxury holiday to Canada (in my dreams) so you can all come. Except gomummy cos well, you're already there!

I'm in somewhat of a bad mood today and this rain is not helping. Mind you, bad mood + bad weather = productivity in the house. Have sorted out my cupboards and up to date with paperwork. My life is soooo glam!
