The OFFICIAL buddy bench/naughty bench thread No. 6

[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, tiredmum, Elmo, valiumredhead 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!

Gomummy its a weird feeling thats spooking me out, and no its not a good feeling

I shall look at your thread shortly.

Thanks elmo i'm really thinking about it.

Tea, thanks so much for taking the pics, i wish i could download them but i can only download stuff from fb. And yes thats the school drive, and the mansion is in the pic, if you go past the mansion that goes onto the main school grounds, but dont try it cos there will be a security man there i spent so many years in that mansion, thank you again x

Message me your e-mail and I'll forward them Tiredmum. I'll probably delete them off my profile in a day or so. For your privacy. I just wanted the buddies to see them x

Oh thank you tea, i have sent you a message, i know now the buddies can see part of my school

Hmm, sorry to hear that it's not good Tiredmum. Then I really do think you should go if you can, perhaps put it to rest? Did something happen to cause you to start feeling this way or did it just come from nowhere?

Looks kind of beautiful to me in Tea's photos, historic. I like older buildings. Wish I could visit you all someday and see some of the really old buildings you have there. :)

Morning folks :)

go I have pm'd you regarding your thread.

Hi everyone! :) It's Homecoming here today, do you have that?

Basically just a big (American) football game where all the alumni from the school are supposed to come home. There are bonfires and pep rallies, etc. Everyone wears the school colors. Ours are green and black so most of the kids at school had bright green hair today. :) The pep rally was tons of fun; the school band plays and the high schoolers come to play games with the little ones. Love it!

Oh great ! We have Guyfawkes

No no homecoming here Sounds great.

Has everyone seen the pictures of Tiredmums school on my profile? I want to delete them for privacy.

Bitter sweet day here, talked about it briefly on the prayer thread I'm on.

Remember, remember the 5th of November, the gunpowder, treason, and plot! :)

Or the Gunpowder Treason and Plot

:o

No Homecoming here, but sounds like fun Cheerful! :)

What is Guyfawkes Valium?

I did, Tea, thanks for sharing them. Found your other thread too. Think you are totally doing the right thing! I'm sure your mum has the best of intentions but she is of a different generation; I was raised the way your mum talks about and have sworn not to be that way with DS. Can't help but question myself sometimes, after those frustrating moments, so can imagine how you'd be feeling. But you are doing the right thing!

I'm having a Star Wars moment tonight after a funny conversation with a pal:

Yoda: "Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you; here, between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere, yes. Even between the land and the ship."

Loved the original trilogy.

Han Solo: Afraid I was gonna leave without giving you a goodbye kiss?
Princess Leia: I'd just as soon kiss a Wookiee.
Han Solo: I can arrange that. You could use a good kiss

I need help, don't I girls?

OK so I have no idea what any of those things are or what they mean, but yes Tea, I'm thinking some outside assistance is needed, LOL!

Tea aren't you pretty?! I just looked at your photos. :)

Can someone fill me in on the pics of the school please? I must've missed why you have them on your profile...

go we 'celebrate' Guyfawkes plotting to blow up parliament by lighting bonfires and having fireworks and sparklers on the 5th of November

Thanks Valium, I would never have guessed that!!!

tea why a bitter sweet day? Are you ok?

Ongoing difference of opinion on parenting my ds with my mum, Valium. That's all. Nice seeing her, I just find her comments hard sometimes.

Tiredmum went to school near my DD. She'd dreamed about her old school. So I took some pics for her.

GoMummy you have to watch the original Star Wars!

I love the original Star Wars!

"I love you!"
"I know..."

Fab. :o

Tea where is the other thread?

Oh yes I love that one too.

I watched Episode IV last night but it's the digitally remastered version and George has added some extra scenes of course with the new technology

Leave well enough alone, George!

Hahah there is a superstition thread and somebody mentioned something about having to say "ginger twins" after someone makes you tea or something, to avoid having them? Well I want to know what it is because I would love to have ginger twins! :)

Oooo I haven't heard about that. In shorts and spaghetti top here today It's about 28 degrees (approx 82.4F).
