That's a lovely site saffron!


I gave tended to avoid the worst of the plastic by buying in bulk on eBay coloured or white paper sacks and them putting in cupcake, mini choc bar, bubbles possibly with an interesting balloon, stickers or tattoo


At least then I know nothing gets wasted... Those things always get used up in my house right away


I try to avoid the mini plastic toys that get discarded almost right away and are a waste of money


Our parties tend to have a large number of children at of various ages, by the time we add in cousins, hodiarenrs children, family friends, cousins etc ....And siblings of all those ... Before we even start on actual friends


This makes for a potentially Expensive party so i do tend to limit party bags and contents to a pound or so


Someone I know from

The twins club, very creative person, is setting up a business doing craft activities for parties and I am

Hoping she might also do things that could be bought to put in party bags because I would shell out a bit for something nice children could do at home


On the subject of party bags ... I try to make mine tooth friendly ... I shudder a bit when

Mine get lollies they then insist on sucking on for ages. I Prefer a quick chocolate fix!

    • Apologies on the tardy reply, but thank you everyone for your responses and suggestions! Unfortunately I couldn't attend the recent EDF drinks because of work (I know right). But will absolutely keep eyes peeled for the next one and try and come down! 
    • Because of the weather which delayed completion with roofer only being able to work certain days, it was up from November - end of January. Went slightly higher than gutters (we also had guttering replaced).
    • It's tough being a courier and the pay which is largely based on the number they deliver is miserable. Hence the staff turnover is high. EFRI was previously branded as HERMES but they had to create a new brand name because of poor performance. We get regular courier deliveries and EVRI are by far the worst. They just drop the parcel at the front door - often without ringing the bell. But worst is when they deliver to the equivalent door number on LL instead of ours on EDG. Best are ParcelForce, DHL and DPD by a wide margin.
    • I know the couple you mean, and she has always been friendly and smiley when delivering to me, but obviously in a hurry, for all the reasons outlined in the thread. My gate is always open, however (unless someone coming to the house closes it when they leave). I can't see the point of gates that have to be opened and shut again every time someone comes to the house. It just seems a waste of time, and it's annoying if you are carrying stuff. And a closed gate  conveys a sort of "my house is my fortress" feel. To me, anyway.
