Is smoking allowed? I don't suppose so. I'll be having a little weed beforehand to calm my nerves, other nervous ones are free to join me round the back of the joint.

CountessDracula · 15/11/2007 16:49

combats fine it's not posh

Squirdle · 15/11/2007 17:42

Ooh Whoops does that mean you will be shunning our party? Tsk tsk!!

Squirdle · 15/11/2007 17:43

And Flame!!

Squirdle · 15/11/2007 17:44

And Psycho!!

Flame · 15/11/2007 18:13

Come with us Squirdle - the kids are young, they won't know that mummy is delaying/earlying their birthday by a week

whoops · 15/11/2007 18:34

Sorry Squirdle you told me to keep the 15th free!

zippitippitoes · 15/11/2007 18:36

and who is zebedees ghost?

Squirdle · 16/11/2007 14:29

S'ok Whoops, I'll let you off. I think the MN party was planned way way before DS2 and 3's birthday party!!

Flame, I can't delay their party by a week, tis Christams then!!!! And can't do any othe rweekend in December cos all my friends DS's friends seem to have birthdays in December!!

Flame · 16/11/2007 18:00

You have Christmas on 8th?!?

whoops · 16/11/2007 18:17

Flame I think Squirdle should leave Mr Squirdle in charge of the party and come with us! I can pick her up & drop her off

ShinyHappyPeopleHoldingHands · 16/11/2007 18:27

I borrowed my friend's DD's badge maker last night and made 3 badges..

ShinyHappy
ShinyHappy's Sister and
ShinyHappy's friend

I am going to make them wear them!!

Although.. maybe I will swap badges with one of them.. and then you'll never know which one was really me..! Hmmm

Squirdle · 16/11/2007 19:13

Delaying by a week would mean Christmas (or there abouts) Earlying would mean the 8th and we already have 3 parties that weekend!!

Not sure Mr Squirdle would be too happy about a hallful of small people, it may just send him over the edge

Flame · 16/11/2007 19:36

I am completely confused - this do is the 1st!

Get thee on msn/facebook and explain your plans - I am baffled and not entirely sure if I am meant to be writing birthday parties in the organised mum thing!!

Squirdle · 17/11/2007 13:01

Oh! I did read the 15th somewhere!

Ok, you can add the 15th to your birthday organiser!

whoops · 17/11/2007 20:54

Squirdle what is going on?!

Flame · 17/11/2007 22:04

Squirdle · 18/11/2007 21:58

I don't know!!!!!!

Squirdle · 18/11/2007 22:03
