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!

Im having a quiet weekend, were hvaing enchiladas for tea, which DH is making. We are just watching CNBC - Hurricane Irene.

Are you over here Mona? Thought you were across the pond?

Glad you've survived Elmo. :)

How was everyone's weekend?

Hi all,

Hope you are ok gomummy and cheerful and the weather hasnt hit where you are, been thinking of you xx

Just been having a lazy weekend here which is nice.

What happened to the buddy bench?

Power and internet outages here. On phone now, service sporadic. Will be back soon! :)

Hello,

Gomummy i've been thinking of you & cheerful, been watching
the damage caused by that storm
How is everyone? I can't sleep at all tonight thanks to neighbours
new pet. Aggghhhhh
have to get up in 4.5 hours to drive dc's to school.

How are you tiredmum? xx

Sorry tiredmum I think now we're all friends on fb I'm getting a bit lazy at updating on here.

We are a long way from where the storm was Elmo, just got a few after-effects. Pretty wicked down south in the States though. Sorry to hear about the neighbour's new pet...count the days! I think you should have a calendar to X off the days until you get some peace.

Mmmm, thanks for the snack Tea! :) I rarely go on fb, love the bench, back now that I am reconnected to the outside world! :)

I know, I just noticed today the that Bench had dropped off my "threads I'm on" list. That will not do at all!

I'm far away from the hurricane thankfully. :( I hope it all blows over soon.

I haven't been doing much, just gearing up for the school/work year. We start on the 6th. Sigh...

Helllooooooooooo?

Bit echo-y in here! :)

Evening,

Woo hoo gomummy glad you are back to normality, the bench cant do without the wonderfully best bench cleaner ever

We will have to sort out that echo cheerful, can you tell where its coming from from from from from

Oh and how are you all?

I'm good, gearing up to start school/work again on the 6th. Sigh...

Tbh DS has been getting on my nerves lately, and I his I'm sure :o We've just been butting heads for awhile and need to get back to the school routine.

Good morning

I'm grand thanks tiredmum . Getting a bit of a mild flaming from some posters about neighbours NEW pet I started a thread about it in AIBU under my
RR name change and it seems it's not all that uncommon to have this sort of animal in a back garden .

OOh cheerful i was like that with dd before she started back at school last Wednesday , she was driving me up the wall . {hugs}

Gomummy - I'm glad the storm was not in yours or cheerful's areas , god help the poor people who were effected by it .
Yes counting down the days at this stage [sigh]

Helooooooooooooooooooooo!

I have missed you all! Have been super busy this summer with family and this is the first time I have had 5 mins to check in. Hope you are all well :)

Back later to read through properly x

Welcome back buddy

Thanks Tiredmum, good to be back. I can live without electricity for quite a while, but internet I need!

Elmo many years ago I had a screensaver thing that was a countdown, you should search one out, might be some comfort? I can't find your other thread, but is it about the same pet I am thinking?

Only a few more days to go Cheerful, then you'll be back in routine. Have you been out on the bike much?

Welcome back Valium!!! :)

Yes Gomummy it's the same pet i told you about . I name changed for the thread as one of my neighbours knows my regular name on here .
I'll PM anyone who wants to read the thread .

Anyone ?

Found your other thread lovely. Wasn't hard. Didn't expect the pet to be THAT though Much laughing at some of the comments though

I've been trying to get a short bike ride in every day. It's fun! :)

Just found Army Wives on Netflix instant play...I know what I'll be doing at night from now on! :o

Will search out the other thread Elmo .

Awake at 2am again Cheerful? I don't know how you do it

I beg DH to take care of DS in the morning. And lie in til an unholy hour. But I really must get out of that habit because work is coming and I will have to be up by 6 or so.

Right now, instead of sleeping, I am scouring the internet looking for the perfect outfits for us to wear in our Christmas card photo. again...
