Daughters birthday river island closed now smyths is next:'(

[Bluebell121]

SO scared ! My daughters birthday is in April 21st I know we cannot do anything for it so that had to be cancelled now river island has closed and something online said smyths is next I'm so upset my little girls going to be 3 and is really looking forward to her birthday she's going to wake up with nothing , everywhere else I had things in my basket from have gone out of stock

bluebell, if you can't have a party with her friends why not a toys tea party, make invitations and invite her teddies, give them a fancy ribbon to wear. You could make it lots of fun, take some great pictures, and guess what, your DD will win all the party games!

Oh my

And on your reply. Which is aggressive. Plus I've not seen anyone calling you names? Or saying you're a bad mum at all?

I'm out! Happy birthday to your daughter!

@Vinylsamso spoiled? No thanks , I meant that in a good way " not lowering myself" I'm not going to take things off peoples children when I have money for my child to get her things. That's what I ment you don't even know me hun so please keep your opinions to yourself , this has escalated to something not even anything to do with what I put on the post because of horrid people like you that like to get there 2 pence in.

@Hoggleludo I was called an something up at the top of the page.

Hi OP.

I've PM'd you.

@viques that's such a good idea!! I have invitations still! Thankyou so much for that idea!!

OP, take 5 minutes and don't let the other posts wind you up. Sometimes people have different opinions which is fine, sometimes they're dicks about it. Just don't get drawn into being so bothered about it. Have a look on the supermarkets and B&M, home bargains, hobbycraft - you should be able to get plenty for money from 1 pay instead of spreading over 2. If you're excited about it I'm sure DD will love it. Try not to get yourself too agitated and caught in back and forth with other posters.

It’s my daughters birthday next week

She will be 7.

She can’t go and spend the day with her friends, or hand out sweets like her brother did on his birthday. She can’t have a party. We haven’t managed to get anything yet as I was supposed to get it all Friday but then I got sick.

So now we are having to online order everything and hope they get here in time.

I’m sure a 3 year old will be easily distracted

have you got in your cupboard
rice crispies or cornflakes or oats
margarine/butter
sugar or syrup
cocoa drinking chocolate or chocolate
dried fruit
cake cases

make them with her

Aww OP that's my birthday, and the Queen's! What was your DD hoping to get for her birthday? It's been ages since mine were that young.

@GracieLouFreebushh thank you so much it just really upsets me when my post turns into something so horrible towards me that I need to learn English and things this is about my daughter I think people can be so horrible , I was trying to to go out and I know b&m have a lot of good things but they don't deliver but I'm going to try my very best thank you for your kindness, what really gets me is people can be so horrible and write what they want but soon as I get aggressive they switch it and say " how aggressive are you been" well yes Cos you was doing it to me I don't let people speak to me in that kind of way over nothing , thankyou again for been kind and your ideas. X

You are spoiled.

Given OP's financial issues, I'd say that this is very much not the case.

It would be nice if people could take a moment to recognise what OP has said about her anxiety. And picking on her sentence structure in the OP is plain nasty.

What happened to #bekind, again?

OP, ignore the people trying to bait you. Use whatever strategies you have to bring yourself down from your anxiety at the moment. Then choose from the suggestions here from helpful people. Your daughter will have a lovely day. You just need to slow your mind down a bit. This will work out, honestly.

@BobbyBlueCat, WTF?

Can you not recognise distress when it's clearly in front of you?

@Gemma2019 aww brill!! Yes she gets so excited that hers is the same as the queen , we say it's because she is a queen!

She's wanting some role play things she loves to play doctors with me and her brothers , likes dress up two! Was going to get her a swing for the garden but I'm re thinking that , don't think there's going to be much outside playing ahead

I hope she has a fab birthday!! See if someone could pick things up
From the shop if you can't go out - friends, family, people who live nearby.

Have a fab time 🎂 🎉

Don't be drawn in!! 🙄

OP it’s a whole month until April 21st, perhaps you’ll be able to get a cake by then.
Otherwise do the best you can with what you’ve got. If you make a big fuss of your dc and tell her it’s her special day then she will enjoy her day. Just cut her toast in nice shapes, make a jelly, get some ice cream.
She’ll love it.

@Frenchw1fe yes sorry I know I realise now about it been a month ya anxiety really plays up on me , currently taking my tablets as we speak this has got me overwhelmed wasnt expecting this , sorry if I sound stupid x

Hi OP. What kind of things does your daughter like?

@saraclara thank you so much I do realise I panic a lot and I get overly worried over the tiniest things but I really cannot help it I've took my night time meds hopefully I can be abit more calm nows

You don’t sound stupid. You’re a lovely mum who cares.
You’re children are lucky to have you.

Hi @Moodymagpie how do I check pms with the app ? I cannot see it may have to go on web version , my daughter loves play doh! I do have a few things in my smyths basket hopeful that they stay there! If they do I'll have no problem least she will have somethjng x
