Can I then just start paying someone to actually take charge of the whole party as well as not being in my house then?

I hated it when people had the BK parties for older children. They just were not interested at all and it was a nightmare having to go through the motions.

panto for 12 costs £100

a farking fortune

seemed like a nice 'tradition' before we had two other children to bleed us dry

dd insisted on hiring this grubby play area where all the cool kids go

is disgusting; always put kids in bath of dettox after

still your house isn't wrecked and no-one cries

took 2 kids to the theatre for 5th birthday in attack of the middle-class and it was unmitigated disaster; with fallings-out and ignorings and Having To Talk To Other People's Children; dd had generally horrid time

I've decided to go the chav route; nasty parties actually are a much cleverer choice than you think

Maybe Cod. mind you, friend of a friend's DS goes to a state school not far from here and is in a class of 7 (will go up to 11 in January apparantly).

Oh, now I'm worried.

I'm planning a 4th birthday party in the local 'hall' on the 22nd December. (Will parents love me or hate me?)

approx 15-20 children (dd's friends from nursery and family friends)

I will tempt parents to stay with mulled wine.

I will wear a sparkly top.

I'm hoping grandparents will be there as my Dad was a primary school headmaster and can silence a small child with just a look.

Cappuccino · 15/10/2006 21:42

surely you should be wearing your knitwear all day cod

have you never read the competitive school run threads?

hulababy · 15/10/2006 21:42

At DD's party I just wore jeans and top; had worn it all day. I don't get dressed up to look after other people's children!

EnidVorhees · 15/10/2006 21:44

I wear sparkly tops all day normally

well that one anyway

I had jeans on too in mitigation

Yes, I think you must! Doing a children's party with no top would certainly be different. Lots of dads may end up staying!!!
