I didn't even buy mine an egg as we were away Easter weekend £700 on birthday parties is fucking nuts. But again it's social media and keeping up with others. However in her defence places like softplay have really started ripping the piss out of the prices. The Social Media stuff/need to be noticed is off the chart and only going to get worse. Niece recently attended a TikTok themed 6th birthday party, where some young lassie comes along and is paid to teach the kids the latest dances etc that are popular on there just now. Stuff then no doubt uploaded to the platform by parents desperate for likes and attention, practically brainwashing their kids who have barely started school into the same needy shite as well. Fucking depressing tbh. Edited May 3, 2023 by 'WellDel 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was paying the princely sum of £5 per week. We even told him he was paying for her school dinners, so he could see that he was at least feeding his daughter. He went to the CSA to appeal to get it cut. The appeal was rejected but whilst they were considering it he stopped payments. Maybe he assumed she was now your financial responsibility? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(no it wasn’t from the wife before you ask) Some company is missing a play by not offering cards from the “dog” that say “Happy Easter from the Bitch”… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally indifferent to it here, but it's sensational in the States (or used to be, at any rate). Weirdly, the American chains that made it to the UK are generally the most mediocre - they have far better cholesterol repositories than we do. Must be all the chlorine and hormones they pump the chickens full of. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

April 2020 - and remember how the world was working then - I was doing my online PAYE of which £160.00 was due. Except I missed the decimal point. Shat myself, phoned everyone and their dug involved but no one would help. The guy on the helpline at HMRC even said could I not just leave it as an overpayment to be paid down? Aye, but it’d take the guts of 8 years! Naw, please give me my money back!! In fairness, all squared off in about 2 months but by f**k was I kicking myself. Easy done… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
