The OFFICIAL buddy bench/naughty bench thread No. 2

[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 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 !

Cheerful that is tough! Their website has all their exec's profiles but no contact - even their current job postings are not direct contact. Here's what I can get elsewhere:

Perhaps you could phone and request an email? Paper letter sent via registered mail might have more impact?

Only email addresses I can find are of no use to you - [email protected] for website terms of use or [email protected] for privacy policy.

Parent company (E1) is in UK, London based. Easier to contact too.

Now, there is also some stuff that may or not be accurate, is over a year old:

No idea if any of it is accurate, but hth.

Oh, sorry so long, didn't realize until I posted it!

hey everyone, need a strong cuppa, work are 're-organising' the structure of posts, but have reassured me that when I return from mat leave I will have a desk and computer, lovely, thanks for that

Ugh Roo, sorry to hear that, that is not exactly encouraging is it?

Hi mumofthree!

thanks, I mean I'm grateful for my job but I'd like to know what I'm going to be doing!

No doubt! Especially hard to be leaving for mat leave, not like you'll have any control over what happens when you're gone. Not like you need to be worrying about what you'll return to either. Must be frustrating.

Its FRIDAYYYY,

hello buddies, how are you on this chilly day?

Counting dowwn to the weekend Tiredmum! And you?

wow gomummy thats what i am doing, counting down to the weekend.

i shall carry on after i've done the school run

Its better now i'm home tiredmum, fish and chips and football is on the agenda!

Hey roo, we have got chicken curry then footie and maybe a drinky

Hello all, just munchin' on some spanakopita. Got a lovely bottle of rose for later, would anyone like a drink? I have even chilled the glasses.

Yes please.

My DCs have had sausage and chips tonight for tea

would love one gomummy but i'll be on the orange juice again!

can I pinch one of your DCs chips please?

Well we are spoiled, chilled wine glasses, cheers gomummy, although i have no idea what that is your eating lol.

there's nowt wrong with sausage and chips, i enjoy it once in a while and its quick.

just got in after school run and work and getting ready for a nice chilled weekend. What are you all doing this weekend. waves at gomummygo

What are you all drinking.... am on the disaronno on the rocks again cheers

Hi loves- would love to join you for a drink but am watching the kids at my son's daycare (the carer left early with her family for a camping weekend) and it would probably not impress the parents overmuch if they came to p/u their LOs and found me tipsy

Busy morning-a friend of ours is deploying to Afghanistan this summer so we've been having their girls (6 and 4) over to play once a week to give him and his wife some time together. They're lovely girls but a bit...erm...sensitive, shall we say! And I was trying to make muffins for the bake sale benefitting our friend's unit (I'm anti-war but pro-friend, so there you have it)and burned half of them. Oh well, with enough glaze they'll be fine! And now I've got to watch the daycare for the next 4 hours, but the LOs are resting now, and there are only 4 of them (counting my DS) so it's pretty quiet. And...it's FRIIIDDDAAAY!

Stupid American question which could probably be solved by google but: Is it Father's Day on Sunday where you are too? Can't think what I'm going to get DH this year...

Thanks so much for the Summit info, gomummy! You rock my socks. I know that firing off an angry email isn't going to change anything, but it will make me feel better.

Have a lovely weekend, all!

Well I've bought a fathers day card for this Sunday for my Dad in the UK, so I'm now hoping I'm not confused. As I know Mothers days are different UK to US usually

Hello everyone!

Tiredmum it is mostly feta cheese, spinach, onion, egg and garlic in pastry, lol! DS is spinach-obsessed and loves "cooking" it.

Mmmm...disaronno will be terrible with wine I know but irresistible....

Cheerful it's Father's Day here on Sunday too. Glad the info helped, and I can totally see how a scathing email would make you feel better...though a formal letter copied to all the right places can also have some real influence sometimes. Whatever you do, good luck!

Tea how is the potty training going these days?

Well today she had a few accidents but most of the time she's doing good now

That's great Tea! We're hit and miss here but that's fine with me for now. I'm just pleased he's interested at all, tbh!
