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 Smile

Oh and don't forget, last one to leave polishes bench and locks up!

Do you feel better getting it out a bit Fearful?

I'm the wrong one to give any advice (I have no contact with a close family member, it all started with similar behaviour and went rapidly downhill from there), but hope you get yourself free of it. Sounds like he's definitely taking advantage, hope you can put a stop to it.

Sorry Tea . Anything specific?

Missed you!

valiumredhead · 01/11/2011 15:11

Oh yanky - difficult one but I would be thinking along the lines of telling him it was time to go - and sooner rather than later. You have a little one and he just can't be around that sort of behaviour. Very very hard though ...

Tired waves!!!!!!! Grin

waves at everyone else too! Grin

TiredMUMMYno1 · 01/11/2011 18:35

On the run here, just wanted to drop a quick message to say I hope this is a wonderful new start for you Elmo, you deserve peace in your own home. Thinking of you.

Hope you feel better soon, Valium!

ElmoFan · 05/11/2011 17:25

Thank you gomummy xx. I have mixed feelings of guilt , relief & worry Confused
Soooo tired i cant think straight today though . Hope you are having a lovely weekend . Ds went for a bike ride today , It's the first time he has left the house on his own since August 2nd .

ElmoFan · 06/11/2011 10:52

A friend of mine sent me an email with a link to these songs on youtube and i just had to share with you as they had me crying with laughter this morning Grin

Saw this one linked on here earlier

enjoy x

gomummygo · 06/11/2011 15:31

Oh Elmo, you should absolutely not have any guilt, you have nothing to feel badly about after all you and your family were put through. I can imagine how you'd be worried though. It will all be over with soon, hopefully without incident, and you can just enjoy the relief! :) Much deserved peace at last. So pleased for your DS getting out for a bike ride. Hope he is feeling relief too.

Clocks back here today for Daylight Savings. Unfortunately DS did not agree and we were up an hour earlier than usual, which is sort of like two hours early by the time bedtime rolls around!

Aww Valium I hope you feel better with your ear soon, ear pain is horrible.

Elmo that's great news like Gomummy says the peace for you would be great, you deserve it. Did your DS enjoy his bike ride, it's lovely to hear that he has the confidence to go out.

Gomummy we are ok thanks, just feels busy round here, we are always on the go, I just love spending time with Jamie during the day his lovely mood can be so infectious, he is such a happy baby always smiling and blowing raspberries, and giving kisses with his mouth open lol, he is in the process of biting DH's finger at the moment Grin which is quite comical. So
how are you Gomummy?

Hope all is ok Cheerful.

And Tea I hope you are ok?

gomummygo · 06/11/2011 16:46

We are all well, thanks Tiredmum. So lovely to hear how you are enjoying Jamie. Envy @ those baby days! :) You must post an updated piccy for us when you can.

valiumredhead · 06/11/2011 17:25

elmo a bike ride? Wooooooooooooooop woooooooooooooop Grin great news xxx

Doctors again for me tomorrow - ear hurts like a B!!

:)

CheerfulYank · 06/11/2011 17:28

I just realized the Bench had fallen off my active convos! Shock, horror!

Oh, little Jamie! I am so Envy Tiredmum ! I have been literally dreaming of babies lately, I can't believe how broody I am.

That's so nice for DS Elmo! You shouldn't feel guilty at all, they made their choices by themselves and as gomummy says, you deserve peace in your own home! Those songs made me laugh too :o

Hope you feel better soon Valium ! Ear pain = no fun.

Tea ! Where are youuuuuuu? :)

Oh and I want to see Tin Tin! DS and I went to see Puss in Boots with one of this friends from school and the friend's mom, and there was a Tin Tin trailer beforehand. Looks good!

Tiredmumno1 · 06/11/2011 21:31

valium I hope the doc can help you out, let us know how you get on.

Ok gomummy I shall sort out another piccy, just for you Smile

So are you still planning on having another still?

CheerfulYank · 06/11/2011 21:44
