Reply to: Jeez - cost of kids parties!

[northernladyuk]

According to the legend of mumsnet Mrs MF was spending the party money on drugs.

For obvious reasons.

What are you getting for £16 and is through a 3rd party or your wife's costings? Has she got her eye on a nice pair of shoes and is spending £2.50 per kid?

"Bet there's not as much room as this place ..

2017-06-05 Astonishing Grade II-listed 18th century mansion tucked away behind streets of suburban semis goes on the market for just £350,000

(The article mentions the buyer would be obliged to do some renovation, but doesn't say how much this would be likely to cost.)"

Hehe! Yes, sounds very likely.

It's a bargain compared to the divorce.

That's why I've told him to stay with her.

Fancy dress and muslinm kids. It hardly bears thinking about!

FTFY

Plenty of room in my Valleys mansion (that costs less than a bedsit in the tulipehole called london).

If they reply day before it'll be "sorry - too late" or if they just turn up then they will be able to pay to get their child in (without food) - its a play centre.

then they'll get in for about £3.50 each rather than the £16 you've paid

If he'd written 'Praise be to Allah' on the bottom of the invite it would have cost nowt

£16 a head FFS. Wife organised it and briefly said she was going to invite all the kids in daughters class so no-one is left out. I was thinking 20 kids max with half of them not going.
Theres 42 of them!

Not cheap. Told Mrs RSVP and no reply means not coming. I'm praying for a good few nos!

Remember when son was younger. Surely if you go to a party you but the kid a present? We always spend £10-£15 whenever daughter goes. I remember the number of people who strolled in with a 99p sticker still on the card. I did threaten to check presents at door with no present=no admission policy :-)

And dont get me started on those who say they're going then dont turn up - even though they know its cost you money.

Tell them presents below the value of £16 will be rejected (as well as their child)

Pah. Ive bet more

[northernladyuk]

I spent about £10K on my son's last party. But I guess that's on the cheap side for a wedding.

42 kids in class? Welcome to Corbynomics.

It's expected that you invite the entire workhouse.
