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 enter the Gazebo and sit on the bench, will have their sins erased and be given a warm welcome and cheerful chat from ApocalypseCheese, CheerfulYank, Anyfucker, HairExtensions, gomummy, tired mum 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 !

Sounds great Tiredmum. You & DH would get along well here, I am cooking obsessed...works well, I love feeding people, DH loves eating it!

AnyFucker · 14/06/2010 20:10

hiyaaa TM

I like to be fed, too

gomummygo · 14/06/2010 20:21

Hey there AF! You can have tonight's dinner with us virtually if you want to!

AnyFucker · 14/06/2010 20:29

ohhhh....gastronomic heaven !!

Errr, I already ate my dinner. Is it Ok to have another one ?

Tiredmumno1 · 14/06/2010 20:30

Lol AF, open wide here comes the aeroplane tee hee

blimey gomummy, so much food, i think i am gonna burst lol.

i will be having yet another relaxing bubble bath this evening, just waiting for the kids to go to sleep, and have a nice soak.

gomummygo · 14/06/2010 21:16

Oh certainly AF. We often have a second dinner! We eat (relatively) early with DS and then unhealthily late as a treat with DH once in a while. Usually can't manage breakfast the next day though, lol!

Tiredmum I am SO of your relaxing bubble bath! That was my daily indulgence pre-DS. Now if I try it results in toys flying into the whirlpool for a "bath like mummy!"

Tiredmumno1 · 14/06/2010 21:50

Haha gomummy, sounds like er fun , seriously i actually know what you mean though, thats what happens to me, so i try waiting to see if they will fall asleep first.

oh and btw i did have the nice hot bath and it was in peace

gomummygo · 14/06/2010 22:40

It is a good idea Tiredmum, but the tub motor wakes DS (who insists it is an airplane ), so late night doesn't work here. Soooo ! If I could have one perfect hour to myself to relax, it would be a bubble bath with good music, good book, and a large white wine! This, of course, is purely imagination though, lol!

Tiredmumno1 · 14/06/2010 23:16

Oh bless, i am sure the day will come, when you will be left in pure peace. til then i have my fingers crossed for ya

right i am afraid i am off to bed v.soon, so best say g'night gomummy. g'night bench buddies

teaandcakeplease · 15/06/2010 21:20

Thanks for the wine Elmo Mmmmmm yum!

I'm ok, been over to friends to drink tea, eat cake and let the DCs play together with friends kids in their gardens for the last 2 days whilst I chatted to their mum. Lovely stuff. H came by this afternoon after friends to see DCs. I was rather grumpy whilst he was here

How about everyone else?
