Middle daughter is 5 next month, I usually do DIY parties at home but I now have a baby to deal with as well so I really need someone else to do the entertainment, even better the food and venue as well! Something like the Pizza Express parties would be great except she doesn't like pizza! A entertainer at our house could work if they don't need tons of space but I don't think the budget will run to venue hire and entertainer.


Hit me with your ideas and wisdom!

Gambados parties are knockouts ! Affordable and fun ... and yes, most minimal effort as they do the food too. Your booking will also come with an organiser- balloon maker ! You can add extras if you like and maybe hire the mascot to grace the party for photos. All the children had fun and you don't even have to do set ups and cook !

I'd advise the horror of Gambados to be honest. You'll need a lie down and a glass of wine after, but the kids love it and it really is an 'out of the bag' option.



At 5 the crafty type ones can be tricky. We did Captured on the Rye for my 5 year old, but as a lot of his friends were still 4.5 they found cutting out their designs tricky and it was a lot of work for me and my husband (most people dropped off) so not sure I'd recommend with a baby to deal with too. Its a great option for 6/7 though.

      The Telegraph and the other right wing media, do they hate Britain?

      By HeadNun · Posted

      It doesn't matter what channel it was on, how pernicious the subject is and when it happened. Mis-representing the truth in broadcast is not only morally wrong, it's against the OFCOM code of ethics.  Everyone in the industry is trained in how not to do it, most are made to take the BBC's own 'Safeguarding the Trust' course, even if they aren't making BBC programmes.  There wasn't much fuss at the time, because no one knew about it.  "Unless you hate Britain, hate liberals, hate the BBC, want a divided country, support the most powerful person in the world despite his many failings". What the programme makers personally think or feel should never affect how they tell a story; to do so is deeply unprofessional and a sackable offence.  It's the job of the BBC and of all programming to inform viewers of the facts and let them make up their own minds. Even in campaigning documentaries.

      Hadn't realised that the Panorama programme that people are up in arms about was over a year ago.  There wasn't much fuss at the time so why drag it up.  Unless you hate Britain, hate liberals, hate the BBC, want a divided country, support the most powerful person in the world despite his many failings. The programme was clumsy, but the vast majority of us know that Trump had an influence.  So the Telegraph has played into his hands.

      One of our local councillors has hit the big time

      I tried a Lime bike once, too heavy and bulky for me but I understand that many really like them.  And very much support the concept.
