Busy Dreams & Themes

We’ve had bookings coming in all week for April, May and June. As many of you know these are our peak times as we are often booked for big events as well during the spring/summer.

No dates will be held for parties and they will be allocated first come first served, I’m also unable to chase enquiries I will just assume the booking is no longer required. All bookings are only secure with a deposit, and remaining party payment must be paid 24 hours before your party.

Parties usually start from 12pm on a Saturday or Sunday. We can also offer midweek after school parties or during half terms.

Our packages have changed so please make sure you are up to date with our current prices, add ons and themes are available at extra cost. 🥳

To make your own natural plant fragranced carpet freshener follow recipe and safety instructions.

200g sodium bicarbonate
2% essential oil such as lavender I.e 4g

Sieve bicarbonate of soda. Add 4g lavender. Mix well with fork. Decant Into purchased shaker bottle. Leave 2 days stirring every now and then.

Shaker on carpet leave 30 mins making sure children and pets are removed from room.

Vacuum up clean vacuum as you usually do.

Please note some essential oils are toxic to animals this is why I have listed lavender. You will need to research essential oils if you wish to use other aromas.

Ylang ylang, winter green and peppermint are definite no no.

However as the % is 2% and mixed in it isn't neat solution and lots studies base their findings on a neat solution and state this is toxic for animals.

The IFRA guidelines have categories for safe % of oil or fragrance uses for body, or household products.

Older boy, entire male, very affectionate.
Hoping someone relatively local can offer Jack a lifeline, we don’t have much time to do anything other than local home checks.
No children and no unspeyed bi***es.
