It's much nicer on Mumsnet...

The tone of the place has probably gone down since my wife joined... yes, really!

[mudskipper]

They really just get right to the heart of the matter of there, don't they:

hopefully it actually cost £100 and she is spending the rest on hard drugs to help her cope with being married to a c....t.

Maybe that poster is MF's wife.

Daughter is 5 next month. The wife(who doesn't work but think's that money is something that the cash point fairy just conjours up) has booked the local church hall.

4 hours at £15 per hour. OK. Sorted with that.

And hired a bouncy castle. £60. Fine with that

And booked a children entertainer and magician. £200 for two hours. WTF! £100 PER HOUR!!

And paid caterers to do the food £120!!!! WTF £120 for the a childrens ******* party!

£440 for a four hour childrens party!!! WTF!!!!

Is this excessive? She thinks that's what it should cost!

Provide the food and entertainment yourself. Play games with the kids. Why the lack of imagination?

[Old Greg]

Balls. They think you're a tosser too.

It is reassuring in these troubling times to find a place where they still call a c*%t a c*%t.

It's much nicer on Mumsnet. They know how to treat successful contractors over there. Probably due to the number of single mums and mums whose husbands have pissed off to the pub to get some peace and quiet.

Much nicer.

I was told to piss off to Mumsnet. And that's where I have posted it.

They're much nicer than the tossers on here you know. They know what to do with Pony Magicians on Mumsnet!

AND they're allowed to say c*n t!

[realityhack]

Ponies.

Applauds.

OP, I think your work here is done.

[Clippy]

In fact the over inflated price and specification should have alerted us to the OP's line of work in the first place

Why has this thread gained so much attention?

The bird organises the childrens parties and you pay the bills.

Simples!

Why don't you learn some magic yourself? Can't be that hard to impress some 5 year olds.

Actually he's supposed to be quite good. Even the adults didn;t know how he was doing it.

I reckon a scary clown may have been funnier.

[MaryPoppins]

You're crap, MF. Spotted within minutes.

Christ, you have to be pretty bloody bored to post on a board called ContractorUK, let alone organise a board raid from said board to Mumsnet.
