jonno Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Recession has definitely fallen upon The Lane. Witness a conversation amongst a group of yummy mummies in the park today. Discussion topic: children's party. Budget - only ?200. Tough trade-offs to be made. Would Cava be acceptable instead of champagne? Cup cakes or fairy cakes? To have a bouncy castle or not? Wait - Henrietta's mother might be able to do face painting instead. Life is getting harder in ED make no mistake. We should probably start a collection to ensure that the kids of JAGS and Alleyns get the parties they deserve. To contribute, please PM me and if I see them again I will pass the cash on.

RosieH Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 If a troll, he should have done his research and known that we drink prosecco these days, not cava Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/19254-shock-horror-recession-hits-ed/#findComment-470059 Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxxi Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 And a bouncy castle is positively de trop, admittedly we had a bouncy Hogwarts for Josh's 5th but this year we're going with the Flibberty 'Den Kit'; it's just soooooo Shropshire, do you now what I mean?

Alan Medic Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Are cup cakes and fairy cakes not the same thing? Educate me please. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/19254-shock-horror-recession-hits-ed/#findComment-470107 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankito Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I think cup cakes tend to carry a fair deal more icing and tend not to be made by 5 year olds..

iamhere Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 The problem is not those that are already afloat, but for those of us that are all ready close to sinking - we drown!But it's funny how even those that are not really suffering, seem to find such trivia to fret over.We need more 'wake up calls' in our lives to find perspective?Thx.

DJKillaQueen Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 We eat lots of cake during half time at the ladies footy sessions. We bake them ourselves too. No recession there it seems.
