The OFFICIAL AIBU buddy bench/naughty bench thread NO 7

[ElmoFan]

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, teaandcake, 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 said on e-mail she wasn't going to be on here for a while Cheerful.

I think this thread is pretty much redundant now isn't it?

I think for DD we'll have a few of her favourite girls over and go to the local park/ paddling pool and they can have fun and have a princess picnic with tiaras. Cannot stretch to a big party.

We did lots of parties in the park when ds was little - no crumbs to worry about

Is go ok? CAn someone PM me if it is something major? x

I refuse to believe it's redundant. :o Even if it's just me here twirling around and talking to myself, I'll keep at it! We always kind of ease off in the summer IRRC.

Princess party sounds fun! She will love that.

DS has his heart set on going to the trampoline place, and it will be great but the management is proving to be very hard to work with.

I'll twirl along side ya cheerful x

Well my excuse is my son is treating me like his personal TAXI grrrrrrrrr
dd gets her summer hols in 2 weeks so i'll have more time to go on mn then :)

So has anyone got any holidays planned ?
It's my dads 70th birthday at the end of this month so we are all taking him & my mum away to a 5* hotel & spa for a few days (17 of us going) Can not wait for it .

Trampoline party sounds fab cheerful , just think of how tired out ds will be after that

That sounds nice elmo!

We aren't going away until Sept as dh has to work through the bastard olympics, it's going to be a looooooooong summer, so am booking ds into lots of holiday sports camps.

No holiday this year. ExH isn't working full time and money is tight So I'm getting very little off him at the moment, until he finds another full time job!

We never do much in the way of holidays...maybe someday!

Our trip to Michigan was lovely though, and we're going to go stay in my grandmother's cabin over the fourth of July, which will be lots of fun. :)

Raining here today...and we were supposed to go on a Father's Day picnic. Oh well, hopefully it will pass.

Not rained her today - a miracle!

Ds has been a holy terror, I am pulling my hair out arghhhhhhhhhhhh! And breathe......

Mine too! We were just in the car and he was making this atrocious whistling noise with a bottle top. And I asked him to stop and he grinned at me and continued...I took it and threw it out the window.

Yanky I would've done the same! Dear God, ds has woken up in the same bad mood! I am trying to ignore...

ooooooh Sending you both Calming vibes lol and if that doesn't work then or something a little stronger

My ds is away for a few days with my parents , so it's just dh , me & dd at home until ds comes back tomorrow . So the house has been eerily quiet without the dc fighting .

It's raining here today

Hows everyone ?

This thread is almost full - who is going to volunteer to start up the new bench ? I will help with the carrying of the bench

I'll do it.

Thanks Tea x

Do you not think off the beaten track is better as tbh nobody posts but us and if it wasn't in AIBU I'd probably share far more on how I felt and chat more but obviously there are lots of lurkers and I do not want the world and his wife to see the nitty gritty of my life

I know that's not the original spirit of this thread but we are a quiche aren't we? Although a welcoming quiche of course...

I've chucked one in off the beaten track and you can all ignore me if you don't agree, we've all known each other long enough now

Yep, OTBT is better for me :)

Sounds good to me :) I must admit there's been loads of things i would have loved to chat to you all about over the last few months that i haven't because I'm very aware of being on a huge forum etc .
So it's a YES vote from me :) x

I will send links to tiredmum & gomummy so they can find us when they get back

Marvellous
