Birthday Party Memories

Miss Fluff

OMG I so loved chocolate rice crispy buns although I distinctly recall projectile vomiting a mammoth amount of same after tucking into what seemed like thousands when I attended one particular birthday party at five or six.

Also, my 4th birthday party. My gift was a mini blackboard and chalk set. My older brother (who was 5) was so unsanely jealous:mad: of the attention I was receiving on the day of my birthday that he broke the blackboard over my head.:eek:

What did you most look forward to at birthday parties?

I once played pass the parcel at a birthday party and in each layer was a toy. Yay, everyones a winner!

Bouncy castles aswell were always great gas.

Sponge Cake .. anyone else suffer that indignity of a cake for their birthday many years ago.

Sponge cake - at least it was made from natural ingredient, not like the sh1t you buy in the shops with all the e-numbers!
My mother used to make toffee apples.
My friend's mother was so mean she's buy a 6-pack of crisps and hide them. Whoever found the crisps would eat them, and there was nothing for those of us who were not so lucky! Then she'd cut slices of birthday cake so thinly the slice would fall into crumbs when it was placed on the party plate! We'd come home from the party starving - diddums!

What a scabby wench!!!!!:eek:

Cornflake cakes were nicer! And these ones my mam would make by putting a marsh mallw in melted chocolate then letting it set in one of those paper cases. When you took it out of the paper it was like a chocolate mushroom with a mallow stalk. Lovely stuff for making you sick after eating twenty and having a run around the garden!

I most looked forward to my mum's homemade chocolate sponge cake with chocolate icing and filling. She would put a ring of smarties around the edge and my age would be written in smarties in the middle (tastier than candles ). I think she decided not to make them beyond when I was ten, as she figured I was getting too old for such things, and I was devastated

Rice crispie and cornflake buns and not letting anyone else play with my presents.

I remember my 4th birthday, I was in play school. I got loadsa bracelets and I was a total tom boy so they were useless. I got this jack in the box game, you make a box on a board and put a lil paper jack in (like that game we'd play in our copies in school) and this lil plastic telephone box you had to stuff with sponge men until it burst.... Great times...

I got knocked over by a Labrador when we had a treasure hunt at my friends 9th birthday. I wore a hair band and played Duck Hunt and there were melted chocolate with marshmallow things in the kitchen...

One year I got 2 Aadams family board games. One parent took hers back. bitch.

Awh, so many memories. My mam would make great cakes, cats and records and trains and everything. Great thread!

Please clarify. Did this make you happy or did it upset you ?

Oh God, did she want to talk in Irish ?

Any kid whoever turned up to one of my parties and starting talking Irish usually went home with bruises and wasn't asked back either...

I remember Pass the Parcel at a friend's house, and the layers were made from newspaper. I also remember 30 kids being glued to the Den to see his name come up, with RTE's bastardised pop version of "Happy Birthday" being played in the background.
