To want to kill MrFlame - Flamechick's birthday is turning into a nightmare

35 replies

Flame · 20/05/2008 08:12

So, trying to work out what to do for her birthday that was cheap.

"My mate has a bouncy castle"

"Is it one of those tiny home things? Will it fit in our garden?" (Garden at that stage was in 2 halves)

"No, it is a proper one, won't possibly fit in our garden"

So, we arrange with Psycho to have it at her house (garden NOT in 2 halves). Invite 6 5yr olds - plus my 2 and possibly a toddler.

He comes home last night

"Oh it is suitable for 4 small children at a time"

So, by the sounds of it we are invading Psycho's house when she could have done without it, with a castle that is too small for hyped up 5 yr olds, and I have no way to rectify it due to having a grand total of £1.03 and haven't even bought food yet

I checked with him so many times that it was a proper castle and every single time he said yes.

WTF do I do???

Is tomorrow any use ? I get back from dropping DS about 9.20am then have to go again at about 11.50am, don't know if that would be any good for you.

Have to warn you though, there's road works outside our entrance and you can't get in the driveway in one go. You have to turn in as far as you can, wait till the traffic stops, reverse out a bit then turn in the rest.

Flame · 20/05/2008 10:31

I have to be out with Psycho all tomorrow morning Can do today, or Weds afternoon, or thursday

Roadworks sound like fun!!!

Right, today I am getting DS at about 11.40 from nursery (have to stop at Post office first). We're back about 12.25, then 1.20 have to leave again to take him to school . I'll be back 1.40, then need to leave at 2.50, back again by approx 3.30, then not going anywhere.

Weds afternoon should be back from getting K at 3.30, then not going anywhere.

Thursday, not sure as K has some sports thing after school and has lost half her PE kit so need to replace that. Don't know if there's anywhere in there that is of any use ?

I wonder if it is easier to say it is in the shed help yourself ?

Flame · 20/05/2008 10:53

lmao @ in the shed!!

Will head over and try and to the lunchish gap today

OK, but if the lunch gap does go wrong it is in the shed Side gate is open, just needs a pull and shed not locked. But hopefully see you in a bit. It's in the box on the sideboard thing and the blower next to it.
