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 !

Oooo yum!

I'm ok been to visit a friend today, like ghost of Christmasthe past as I haven't seen them since H and I separated and they didn't really know anything, all my memories with this person were pre separation. I moved there for H's job and left without saying goodbye, when the affair came to light, was in shock really at the time. Lovely day though, nightmare on the M25 getting home though. So the DCs went to bed far too late.

How about everyone else?

Hi ,

Have had some very sad news

A family friends baby was born yesterday & died during the night
poor little angel & his poor parents . So so sad for them .

Elmo, so sorry to hear that, aweful news. My heart goes out to the poor family.

Oh elmo thats so sad, i hope they recover from it, that is devastating news.

and heres me about to complain that i really dont feel right myself,
now i am der

Sorry i posted out of shock earlier , didn't mean to upset anyone

Tiredmum - Are you OK ?

Are you ok Tiredmum?

I am not sure actually, i feel sick almost constantly, i felt like i had been on a huge piss up when i woke up this morning.

so i have to feel sorry for myself

Oh no you poor thing , Do you have any motilium Tablets ? they are great at settling a sick tummy . Hope you feel better soon .

I have never heard of them elmo, i will have a look tomorrow, ta.

i shall just cuddle up on the sofa when the kids are in bed and watch a bit of tv

Hope you're feeling better, tiredmum! I don't have a license either, btw. In America if you say you don't people stare at you like you've got three heads, everyone here drives. I've really got to get on it...

I'm so sorry for your friends, Elmo, I just can't imagine.

DS and I went to the zoo with a friend of mine and her DC yesterday-it was tons of fun and they had a lot of great animals. DS keeps going on about the "funny ring-a-teens!" (orangutangs, and they were funny; I liked them quite a bit myself! )

Hope everyone has a lovely day and again, Elmo, I'm so sorry for your sad news.

Hope you're feeling better soon Tiredmum! Flat ginger ale is all I can do when I feel like that, probably not much help to you. Cuddling up on the sofa always good too!

Opposite here on the driving, unless you live in one of the few real cities or the many towns, you have to drive for quite a while to get anywhere, literally. Much, much longer than anywhere else I've ever been anyway. Until MN, I had never "met" anyone (that I was aware of) who didn't have a license as it is pretty much a requirement for daily life where I am. I love the idea of being able to live without driving! Sooooo!

Oh Cheerful that is so much fun! We did a zoo a few weeks ago, and now that DS is old enough to enjoy it, it was great! I only took a zillion or so photos.

polishes, sorry

< oh yum muffins , thanks>

Hi babybarrister ,
mmm i haven't been on AIBU threads in ages ... are they still as rough much fun as ever ? lol ;

Hello Babybarrister! Welcome to the bench, have a muffin!

mmmmmm, muffins!

Hello, babybarrister, and welcome! AIBU's rough, have some sympathy and a muffin!

Today was DS' Toy Story birthday party...I am so in love with my boss at the theater for letting me have it! I was a little nervous because some of the kids and parents showed up a bit early and I didn't have games or anything; luckily they were content to run up and down the aisles screaming and waving balloons. It worked out perfectly as there were only nine little ones and assorted parents-nobody minded if the kids spilled popcorn, got up to dance or shouted during the film. So fun! I'm totally wiped out though, will definitely need a nap today. (Preferably in front of the air conditioner, it's toasty today! Is anyone else having a heat wave?)

Hope everyone's having a marvelous weekend! Thanks for polishing the bench, gomummy, tis very shiny.

Crap afternoon today at my parents. Posted in AIBU but people are being nice so far and not flaming me.

But hello

Yup Cheerful, heat wave here too. Your DS Toy Story birthday party sounds like a great success!!! Bet he had the time of his life. Hope you got lots of photos of the special day...and what a great boss you have!

Hello Tea, off to AIBU to see what's up, hope you are ok.

Back again, just wanted to send some support out to you Tea, sorry to hear about your tough day, but you are totally right.

I'm baaaaaaaaaccccckkkkkkkkk.

I ave just been accused of being JasonbloodyThunderPants of all people

'elo Cheesey! What's a flangepop?

Good grief I'm struggling today to stay awake and not climb under my duvet and leave the kids to fend for themselves, started a thread in chat

I'm sorry you had a rough time tea! I tried to find your AIBU thread but didn't see it...hope you're doing ok!

Are you feeling better tiredmum?
