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!

How is the house coming along Cheerful? Awaiting the before-and-after shots!

Thanks Tiredmum, am looking forward to Jamie-fix! :)

Ugh Valium that sounds brutal. Hope the doc can give you some antibiotics to sort it quickly.

So, are you all ready for Christmas? Grin

CheerfulYank · 08/11/2011 05:20

Oh, it's coming along! I'm a bit crazed ATM because everything that is usually in the dining and living rooms has been shoved in another room so we can work on the floor.

Ah well. Off to bed!

CheerfulYank · 09/11/2011 00:41

Enough already!

valiumredhead · 09/11/2011 08:22

Oh I love their telly prgramme go - soooooo many kids and she is so smily all the time!

I went to the GP, could take weeks for my ear to clear properly but have some new meds which should help. I feel like I am under water all the time, hate it!

How is everyone? :)

gomummygo · 09/11/2011 22:00

I've never seen it, Valium, she must be amazing to have all those DCs and be smiling all the time or stark raving mad! Grin

Anecdotally, I was told that after a bad ear infection once but it was much better in 4-5 days. Hope yours is the same.

Ack Cheerful, that must be frustrating, having your stuff all out of place like that. I bet your floor will be lovely when it's done though!

Tiredmumno1 · 10/11/2011 09:00

Aww well I am glad you are still planning another cheerful. All that work must be so exhausting, are you nearly finished?

valium I am so glad to hear you got some meds, I have my fingers crossed that you feel better quickly!

How is the weather there now gomummy?

ElmoFan · 10/11/2011 09:16

Glad you're on the mend now Valium. Hopefully it all clears quickly.

Oh Elmo, poor you and DD. Hope this winter is less challenging than last, with all the infections. :(

It's not winter here Tiredmum, we're still having amazing weather. It's the warmest November anyone I know has ever seen, everyone is talking about it. I realize that is relative though, friend from UK is walking around in winter coat and gloves! Grin

Do you think you'll be done soon Cheerful?

Grin

Going to buy in my Christmas cards later , so if anyone would like a card from me this year could you please PM me your address xxxx Smile

CheerfulYank · 10/11/2011 18:47

Hey tea ! :)

Do you need my address again Elmo ? I'll PM in it to you just in case. I'm getting our photo taken in a few weeks and then I'll get ours out too. I think I still have everyone's address... 'cept you Valley ! If you want a Christmas card from the Cheerful Family you have to PM me. :o

Snow here! :( Just little flurries and it's mostly gone now. I got my new coat in the mail and hate it ( :( again) so I think I'm just going to send it back and keep my old one.

ElmoFan · 10/11/2011 19:17

I still have your address cheerful Smile sorry your not happy with your new coat x . Hope you find a lovely replacement one soon .

gomummygo · 10/11/2011 23:00

Great timing, doing cards this evening here!

Yes, pm me as well if you'd like a Canuck card, Valium! :)

Pm's coming atchya Elmo & Cheerful...

Sorry about the coat Cheerful, such a lottery buying online. Hope you don't have to pay the return shipping (or that it's a lot cheaper than here!).

CheerfulYank · 14/11/2011 21:18

Teaandcakeplease · 14/11/2011 23:12

Grin tea lol

Good morning . DD is very sick AGAIN . Had her at the doctors twice this week as she has croup Sad and both her ears are infected. Been battling her temp now for 4 days . Going stir crazy indoors at this stage .

How is everyone ?

valiumredhead · 15/11/2011 10:00

Yanky you are truly lovely but I will end up with 'Christmas Card' guilt as I KNOW I won't get around to sending one to you - so can we wish each other Happy Xmas on the bench instead? We could do E Xmas cards though - there's a thought! I'll PM you my email address :)

Tea Grin

elmo ouchy poor dd hope she gets better soon xxx

go it's not cold here either, 11 degrees here today - is that tropical compared to your weather atm?

ElmoFan · 15/11/2011 12:22
