Fuck off with your fucking balloons

Alright, hands up, I’m hungover to fuck from a big party last night (free bar and free food which no one was bloody well eating Hmm) and I have to go to a two year old’s party later (I might eat a very rare burger for lunch to try and get out of that, as last time I did that the world fell out of my bottom Blush)

But I’ve just seen on Facebook that they’re currently in the process of blowing up 500 FIVE HUNDRED balloons to fill the restaurant (yes, the two year old is having their party at 7pm in a restaurant Confused)

WHY? WHY??? Why would you just willy nilly leave 500 balloons floating around to just remain in a horrid wrinkly plastic shape for the next 1000 years, or blow away and just hang on a tree, or smother a bloody I don’t know, marlin in the sea? Why????????? And why would you spend your day blowing up 500 balloons???

Arghhhhhh it’s going to be such a long day.

I hope you throw up in the Special Fried Rice, like anyone would notice

I can feel my eyes rolling out the back of my head. Still hope the Chinese food is nice.

Who the f**k has a party at 7pm with FUVE HUNDRED BALLOONS for a TWO year old ? Ludicrous.
Just make an excuse.

CheggarsPlaysPlop · 16/12/2018 18:16

I suffer from Globophobia (fear of balloons) and anything else that's turgid and might go off in your face. I think the OP was having a delusional hungover moment. She hasn't returned.

NannyKasey · 16/12/2018 18:17

I hate balloons, 500 balloons are my idea of a living hell, I couldn't go in case someone did something with them that made a screeching noise or made them go static. I would be in the corner crying. I hate polystyrene as well, I know I'm strange, I just can't deal with it

Fowles94 · 16/12/2018 18:19

I'm not bothered about the rest of the post I'm too pissed off that you are all slagging off no bedtime. I never had a bed time and it never killed me. Different familes different rules 🤷‍♀️

Calledyoulastnightfromglasgow · 16/12/2018 18:21

Can’t stand this kind of wanton extravagant waste. Such a crap message to send to your kids too

WendyWoofer · 16/12/2018 18:25

This thread is a wind up isn't it?

Boulty · 16/12/2018 18:25

500 balloons! Why, and what a waste and poor environment. Thankfully most parents have more sense.

2 year old party at 7 pm... at a restaurant …. lol

Just who are they trying so hard to impress because it cannot be the child.

RedLife · 16/12/2018 18:26

Macbeth? Their kid is called Macbeth?
Fuck right off 😂😂😂😂

This comment cracked me up Grin

Evilspiritgin · 16/12/2018 18:30

I was able to take my son out at 7pm at the age of 2 why not! My son slotted into our lives not the other way around, the name is nothing and the mum exaggerated the amount of balllons she was blowing up plus they were probably biogradable

TheBigFatMermaid · 16/12/2018 18:33

I would have declined any party invitation that was from someone called Macbeth at 7 pm, as that was my DCs bedtime at that age! What madness is this?
Why did you even accept?

Moonflower12 · 16/12/2018 18:39

@Ynci
Whereabouts were you when you met Horatio?

olivertwistwantsmore · 16/12/2018 18:40

Macbeth is a great name! Loving this. Free sleeping my arse...

linsey2581 · 16/12/2018 18:46

I honestly can't believe you people! What a bunch of bullies you all are. Mocking a child's name for starters and so what if they have hired a Chinese place for their child's birthday and using 500 balloons. I hope she sees this and uninvites you!

Tomorrowillbeachicken · 16/12/2018 18:53

Does that make the mum Lady Macbeth?

ResistanceIsNecessary · 16/12/2018 18:54

Bit late in the day Linsey seeing as the party was last night Hmm

QuilliamCakespeare · 16/12/2018 18:59

He probably has 'rage' because he's sleep deprived to fuck!

Mumshotel · 16/12/2018 19:02

How did it go

BabySharkDooDooDooDoo · 16/12/2018 19:04

What a poor wain being called macbeth 🙈😂

GreenDinosaur · 16/12/2018 19:07

OP was probably lynched at the party by the balloon-obsessed weirdos for dissing their parenting choices on Mumsnet.

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 16/12/2018 19:10

OP's just a walking shadow, a poor player, who struts and frets her hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more. Grin

Canary123 · 16/12/2018 19:13

Why does it matter when he sleeps, he obviously doesnt have to wake up early as he doesnt go to school yet, he' ll just get up a little later.

linsey2581 · 16/12/2018 19:17

I only got the email about this thread today
