Balloon Chit Chat / Latex free balloons
December 21, 2011, 09:53:05 AM
Hi all,
Not sure if anyone has asked this before, but are there any balloons out there that are latex free?

I get quite a few jobs in the medical industry, and one of the exhibitions that I do are asking for no latex, obviously this has caused me a problem, so just wondered if anyone knew of any latex free balloons anywhere?


Thanks

Like a jerk, I've left a filbert pump at a gig I did on the 12th august, I needed it yesterday and Thats when I realised it had gone! I checked everywhere 5 times (like you do) thinking I'd left it in the house somewhere!

After about 5 phOne called between the customer and the hotel, I managed to track it down and the receptionist at the venue said she's seen it the dy before (Friday) but she said they only usually keep things for 24 hours then they bin them!

Now I know it was my own fault for leaving it, but what right have they got to just bin equipment! It was about £120 and took 8 weeks to arrive, so it's not as if it was cheap, or as if I can just nip out and buy a new one! The hotel made no effort to contact the bride and groom to tell them something had been left....

.... So do I have a right to claim from them?? Will I be covered through equity in anyway?

Or is it one for the scrap book??

Anyone done similar?

Also, just found out that the policy of the hotel is to keep things for 14 days... they havnt even waited 7 and havnt tried to contact us!

Balloon Chit Chat / Filbert pump
March 01, 2011, 11:25:22 PM
Hi all,
I'm starting to get a little worried about my filbert pump, I ordered this on the 26th of January... Now, I don't mind waiting for the pump, as its got fantastic reviews, However, I have sent peter numerous emails, and I have only received 1 reply, He emailed me to say that the yellow tube was out of stock and that it would be in the following week, this was on the 2nd feb, I have sent about 2-3 emails after this, the 1st was asking if the red tube was in stock to save any messing about, then the following 2 were to see if there was any shipment news at all?

Does anyone know pete? Is he good on the computer or doesnt he reply to emails at all?

I'm just not sure what's happening at all?  having heard nothing!

Have I paid the right person?
Business Name:   
Filbert Productions    (The recipient of this payment is Verified)
Email:   
mailto:info@filbertpump.com">info@filbertpump.com

Any help appreciated!

Balloon Chit Chat / circus balloon ideas!
June 30, 2010, 02:13:36 PM
Hello everyone,
I'd like a little bit of help and a few ideas if possible. I'm going to an event this weekend/next week, and they are having a fancy dress party, the theme is circus!
I usually make a balloon hat every year for this lady, i've done hawaian with fruits all over, i've done afro, over the years and now i'm thinking maybe some sort of clown hat for the circus theme??!?!?!?!? maybe.... the hats usually go a little crazy and get quite big, but i'm stuck for ideas this time! I was thinking about making a clown head of some sort and fastening it to the hat?

Anyone got any ideas for me please???

Thanks, much appreciated, reference to DVD's or books appreciated too.

March 04, 2010, 01:31:22 PM
I've been asked to decorate a room for a family member, and as i'm starting to slowly get into decor, i thought i'd give it a bash!
Let me know what you think, I know one of the purple balloons at the bottom is going down, but these were just for fun!


I have used cheaper balloon's too (NOT Qualitex or the other brand  ;)  )

Balloon Chit Chat / My new storage solution!
August 08, 2009, 12:59:48 PM
Just thought i'd share this with you!

the top part comes off so you can carry it like a bag if you dont want to take the whole lot!

I just need some more 350's now! and more colours to get in there!

The bag was £85 from ebay and its well worth it IMO!

Off Topic.......... plus Hidden Talents / PayPal!
December 12, 2008, 09:48:44 AM
My accound was hacked into last night, and they made 4 payments to 123-REG.co.uk for arround £700. Anyone else had this done to them? The money left my paypal account at arround 2300Hours last night, luck I wasnt asleep, I got the Emails saying my accound had been debited, so started a resolution going! At the moment the funds are on hold, but i've had a problem with paypal in the past, and they took the money from my account! I lost £300 last time (long story buy I got it back in the end, from someone honnest, not from paypal)

I've just gotta sit and wait for paypal todo their investigation now, and see if they can find who moved my money!

Anyone got any problems like this?
