  • A Message To All Those People Bulk Buying

    A message to all those people bulk buying:
    Your a bunch of thick selfish TWATS!
    *Toilet paper – the virus gives you a cold – not the shits!
    *Hand sanitizer & hand wash – WTF did none of you wash your hands before this?? I mean seriously no wonder this virus and others have spread your a bunch of dirty bastards!
    *Dry Store goods – 10+ packs of pasta, tins food etc REALLY!!!! I hope you get to your 4th bag and cant stomach it anymore.

    If people stuck to there normal shopping we wouldn’t have a crisis with stock! I’m 100% GLAD that ppl now realise they should be washing there hands, but you do realise its COMMON SENSE!

    On another note thank you for buying all the paracetamol, cold medication etc now I can suffer with out any aid!! My children who generally need pain relief on a regular basis can now just suck it up as DICKHEADS have more then they actually need.

    For those that are now learning that washing your hands is a good idea, well done! A* for you. BUT you didn’t need a whole frigging shops worth!!!

    IF THIS HAS OFFENED ANYONE – GOOD! YOUR DEFO THE TWATS IM ON ABOUT!!

  • Please DO NOT Buy My Kids Toys For Christmas

    Please DO NOT buy my kids TOYS for Christmas..

    – Kid wants toy for Christmas and talks about it all the time.

    – Kid opens toy for Christmas and immediately rips it open and starts to put it together & play.

    – 2 days later kid is asking for new app on their iPad, and you suggest they go play with that awesome toy they wanted so bad that cost santa over £100… They say they don’t feel like it and are bored with it.

    – One week later, toy is shoved in the back of their closet, never to be seen again… UNTIL you do a pre-Christmas clean out the following year when said toy is then donated because the child expresses that she no longer likes it.

    .

    AH, it kills me a little every time!!!

    .

    This year, we are making a Christmas list filled with EXPERIENCES, not toys.

    .

    Want to know what Aunt Emily can get her? A movie date with her on a weekend, a trip to the zoo, a painting class… something where they can spend time together!

     

    .

    Live far away? You could give my son a swimming lesson vouchers, a gift certificate to a pottery painting class, cooking lessons, go carting, a favorite book of yours with a personalized note of why you love it & him THE EXPERIENCES and MEMORIES he simply will NOT forget!

    .

    No big pile of presents will be under my tree, if I look back on my childhood I don’t remember any of the presents I received, I remember the people, and my little girl and boy will remember the days out, the special times with their family.

    Not only will my children have the best time, I will not have the stress ans anger of searching shops to get the toys they want and then the heart ache of seeing money literally bein poured down the drain.

    This christmas will be all about family and my kids having the best time.

  • Mum Sets Up a Justgiving Page For Sons Birthday

    A mum has set up a justgiving  page to get parents to ‘contribute’ money for her son’s 10th birthday instead of giving him the traditional presents.

    Paramita Sarkar says her son Adi always gets far to many presents from friends when he has his parties that they are pointless and not played with .

    So, before his tenth birthday next month, she’s set up a JustGiving page and is planning on asking parents and friends to donate cash instead – ‘to get something useful that would be treasured’.

    With a suggested donation of £15 per child, from around 20 children he is thinking of inviting to his party, Adi, from Bramhall, would have a huge £300 to splash out on what he really wants.

    Paramita, who’s taking her son to Disney World in Florida next week as his present from his mum and dad Indranil, said: “There is no party without presents but afterwards we are left with boxes of Lego every year which stop getting played with.

    “They get piled up in boxes and we run out of space to store all the board games – sometimes duplicate ones.

    “So I have set up this JustGiving page where I would request mums to contribute – not donate – instead of buying presents.

    “I can then buy something that my boy would actually appreciate and treasure over a long period of time. This is simply to reduce the clutter and buy something really useful.”

    The mum is trying to gauge people’s reactions as to whether her site is an ‘acceptable’ idea, or whether she’d be judged or have negative comments by other parents.

    She said: “Friends have said it’s a good idea so I set up the link, but I’m apprehensive about circulating it at school as I don’t want to feel judged.

    “I’m hoping they’ll be positive when they see it and take it up.

    “If everybody contributed say £15 a time, there’ll be 20 people and Adi can actually buy something really nice.”

    The 39-year-old says Adi, who’s in Year 5 at Cheadle Hulme School, will not be upset that his school mates  arrive at his party without gifts.

    She added: “I have explained to him and he is cool with the idea and also keeps asking how much collections have been made.”

    Paramita says there is no specific target for the crowdfunding, but she set ‘a humble one’ at £50.

    She’s already exceeded the amount after money donations from some close friends and family who attended a small party for Adi when they went to watch the Chinese circus at Tatton Park earlier this month.
