The Mumsnet bonding thread - all welcome, bring your sense of fun and dig out your best team-building sandals

Today we're building a raft and then making a parachute for an egg.

If you can get yourselves into teams...

No, I don't think you should go with her. She's a bad influence on you.

Can one member of each team come and collect an egg from me, please? There'll be points deducted at the end of the day for any broken ones.

How lovely, breakfast.

Thank you Rhubarb.

I think we'll start with "tell us a little about yourself" as an icebreaker. I came up with the names for these activities myself, you know!

Make a point of remembering these facts - there'll be a test on your fellow MNers later if I can be arsed.

So, three things about yourself.

Get over it secur! Here, have a fried egg!

Ill have some fried beaver please, it'll go with the squirrel I just killed

I can't go first

Im Welsh
Im blonde
Im allergic to caterpillars

Who just fecking farted? Was that you Welshy leek thing?

If you don't let me join a team I will sabotage all rafts whilst you are all sleeping in the tents that I put up for you in 10 seconds because you were all so useless and couldn't do it by yourselves. And as for the bacon rhubarb, well it sucks - you dropped most of it in the fire and what you managed to salvage was just a fatty, greasy mess. And as for you Welshy - just because you ahve been walking for ages it does not automatically give you the right to eat the crap food rhubarb made - where have you been for the past few hours, eh? Coz it wasn't helping the others in a team!

Oh yes I can...

I knit Fab lentil rafts
My lentil boxing gloves don't work
and Rhubarb cooked my beaver....

erm, my house wouldn't pass MN standards
I spend too much time on MN
I have 'whore blonde' hair

Ah, so the minging farting smell came from secur's beaver!

thanks trinityrhino can chloe55 be with us too she cant do the tent or rock thing but she can lie to the other teams and make them think we are better than we are !
three things about me :
i am nail tech goddess ( our team will have prettiest hands )
i am black belt in karate ( will scare all other teams into losing )
i hate losing lol !

oooo can I have onions on my beaver please?

Well Rhubabr, if it makes you feel better to take out your angst on me then that is fine... I don't mind sacrifice for the sake of the group....

welcome pepper and of course chloe can join us

I don't lie
I am gorgeous
I am a size 10

I'm getting a bit stressed now

no-one seems to have achieved anything

I think that everyone who broke anything should be sent home

unfortunately i am useless with lentils hope that isnt one of the tasks !

Anyone want a bit of Secur's beaver? It's a bit smelly and hairy but we'll just have to make do I'm afraid!

I broke all the eggs for cooking, so do I get sent home then!

Do i get a welcome

No, you are not welcome yet - like I said, where were you when it was pouring it down and we were struggling to put up tents? Well, everyone else was struggling and I managed to do it with my little finger. You need to make the next 3 fires and tie a knot in a rope with just your tongue to qualify a welcome.

I'm sure you do Welsh

I'm sure there's some welcome song we have to learn

I just got here! I cooked everyone breakfast!

That Welsh one smells anyway! Wouldn't touch her beaver!

I'm a size 10 too
I have freckles
I'm plotting to take over the worl... no, I mean
I'm a real team player!
