I always SWORE I wouldn't do the bloody things, I don't approve of them, I think they are a symptom of the whole "gimme gimme" culture I so heartily despise, and the bloody party ought to bloody well be enough, and they should all say "thank you for having me" and be bloody grateful to be buggering off with a slice of squished cake wrapped in a tissue.

So WHY THE FUCK am I sat here trawling ebay for job lots of novelty finger monsters and little pots of silly putty?

my comment now sadly marooned and mad-looking, orphaned from Fennel's below, to which it was a reply.

I got some knit-yoghurt friendly ethical little wooden books for a pound each. Was feeling rather pleased with myself, but one mum complained that the pictures in the books depicted circus animals and it wasn't very natural for elephants to have to stand on their heads and monkeys to wear clothes. Sigh.

Good site though - here: shrunklink.com/abqf

Greeny's selling ou-out! Greeny's selling ou-out!

you're right sophable they are for the parents!

Love the sunflower seed idea lots!

Duchesse, no, not at all. Until this week we only had one guinea pig. Female. Obtained a month ago to keep lonely rabbit company. Clearly she's more worldly-wise than we'd realised.

Baby males can apparently impregnate their mothers at 21 days .

Heathcliffscathy · 13/09/2007 21:38

francagoestohollywood · 13/09/2007 21:41

Greensleeves · 13/09/2007 21:44

Fennel, if that's true about the incestuous rodents you had better get the little buggers off the premises pronto

Baggot, I have sold out, refunded my irate customers and gone into voluntary liquidation after being hounded to the brink of suicide by the Trades Descriptions people I SWORE I would never do bloody party bags

that's the beauty of mn. Cannot put up with a baby crying at all but can nick child's party bag sweets.

madamez · 13/09/2007 21:49

I've told you all before: proper party bags consist of a minature of Jack Daniels, a packet of fags and a condom. You could add a Viagra tablet if it's really for the parents.

francagoestohollywood · 13/09/2007 21:53

god your generous madamez.

francagoestohollywood · 13/09/2007 21:53

you are

EmsMum · 13/09/2007 21:58

If the guinea pigs were little buggers there wouldn't have been a population explosion.

Someone had to point that out.

LunarSea · 13/09/2007 22:22

punchball balloons 10 for £1 at poundland.

pointydog · 13/09/2007 22:24

Look at that! 10 for a pound. Cheap as chips. No excuse.

francagoestohollywood · 13/09/2007 22:32

EscapeFrom · 13/09/2007 22:34
