Just to say..

[CheekyVimtoGal]

I am sorry if i offended anyone with my posts on the benefits party thread. It wasn't my intentions at all. If i did, please accept my most sincere apology.

I didn't set out to offend anyone at all.

Have we decided who is going to start the official buddy bench thread and where.

gomummy - loving the cup holders idea, and a new design would be fab, hows about a pink theme

Tiredmum good question, guess it is not an aibu, would it be chat? And the title...?

On the design, we should have tiny trays that swing out from the sides to hold our cheeseboards and chocolate?

Have a great bbq Cheesy!

Title: I'm bloody sweltering and can't think straight after a 4 boy under 10 sleepover and too much sun (zonks out)

The design sounds like its coming along great gomummy, i was wondering if we could adapt it to recline, i am sure junglist would love that right now

wellll i hope the buddy bench are having a fab day

Oh Junglist you poor thing!

What a great idea Tiredmum! A reclining bench that has a built in foot rest... It is all coming together now!

Went for a nap and having coffee now, much better. Loving the bench ideas! I want an ice cream where's the bloody fella hope he doesn't try driving round at 9 again. Once it was 930, surely the majority of kids are in bed by then? Fingers crossed for my mint choc chip with flake please

Are we having Buddy bench names for the world cup or Big Brother season!
wooooooooooooooo BIG BROTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love big bro

its so hot and i just had a slush puppy n it was lovely and cold

And we had another bbq, are we naughty?

Not at all Tiredmum, we BBQ something almost every night in the summer - saves heating up the house! Or, I am naughty too, as we are about to put kabobs on the grill and the only thing I'm making now is tzatziki!

Argh it is stifling hot, wish I lived somewhere ice cream trucks would drive by! Have an extra scoop for me Junglist. Mint choc chip would be soooo good right now!

Bloody ice cream man grr he always seems to call at dinner time, i always make sure i got some in the freezer just in case.

i better get some ice pops at one point, they are a great invention

and i am so glad i am not crazy gomummy and you have them all the time too. its actually a nice change

LOL, not crazy, it is almost an emergency here if we run out of propane for the grill in the summer! I do everything from corn on the cob to salmon on the grill! (Can you tell I really hate heating up the house, lol!)

We have loads of BBQs in summer and I use paper plates to save on washing up [shame] (not haha).

If we put the buddy bench in Chat it will be deleted after 30 days. I say stay in AIBU, it is to welcome those who have been BBQ@d flamed so maybe easier to find?

The last person to post on here can start the new one? Or shall we have a competition?

Lol i think its a good idea, i hate a hot house, i may have more than usual this year now, i think its fun, the kids were in the paddling pool and shooting us with their water guns its ok though i got my own back haha

Ooo what kinda competition HE?

the paper plates idea is great i may try that

you also have a good point by putting the new thread in aibu

Didn't know that about chat, thanks HE. Hmm...aibu to install cupholders on a reclining bench?

AIBU to upholster bench in pink velour and accessorise with leopard print?

If you're feeling sad and blue.
If you've also been "yabu" (yabooo!)
Please don't be downbeat.
Just come and take a seat.

Everyone is welcome.
Regardless of the outcome.
We will never judge.
We will even give you fudge. (oh ffs!)

Because this is the Buddy Bench.
So even if you're French.
Or you have a rotten stench.
Or you're a cheeky little wench. (not aimed at you CHEEKY!)

Just bring yourself along,
GoMummy will do a song,
TM will give you cake,
Junglist will say "for fucks sake",

Hairy, Cheesy and Cheeky too,
Will also welcome you,
If I've missed somebody out,
You can start a Thread about. (It!)
