disaster at the party

you know how you have a funny feeling and it wont go away, i had one all yesterday on the run up to the party ....

when all the guests had turned up, we decided to ahve the fireworks.... i was a little wary and kept complaining that they were too close and it was dangerous, as everyone knows, im a bit of a drama queen and no one really listened to me ...

tia was sat on nicoles knee at the front of the gazebo, and to me she looked too close for my liking, i felt too unsettled, so i got her and put her on my knee....

THANK GOD I DID!!!!!!

I was sat next to my friends niece and jokingly set.... ''you watch, a firework will come whizzing into us all'' and right on cue...it did

the stupid person setting the fireworks up wasnt doing it properly he had failed to read the instructions, which had said... the firework had to be quarter buried in the ground and 25 metres away from the public,... it was approx 5 meters away and not buried....

it came straight into the gazebo where we were all sat.... it happened as if in slow motion.. then it exploded... i dived onto tia, my friend dived in front of her children, the party host jumped on the firework, but only made it worse, so she grabbed her nephew and screamed for everyone to get in the house...then nicole screamed ............. once in the house i found her in the bathroom... she had been hit in the side of the head!!! luckily it wasnt serious...but her hair was burnt and she had a burn mark the size of a cigarette burn and a bald patch where her hair was i dread to think what could have happened had tia been sat on her knee,. not that its any better that it was nicole if you kwim!!... my friend who had shielded her kids had also been hit on the back of the leg, but she was okay too!!

i feckin hated fireworks AND the bloke who was setting them off before last night, now i hate them both even more!!!

when i told my OH about it this morning, he was surprised i never chinned the t**t if everyone hadnt have ben so shocked i might have done

Baseball bat round the back of the head springs to mind

What the f---

I hate fireworks and this time of year mainly of the animals and little kids can be frightenedand all the retards that think its fun to get the biggest and loudest ones :lady:

I'm so glad Nicole wasn't seriously hurt and Tia

Big hugs to you all and hope Nicole is feeling better today

cheers hun....it just proves my point why fireworks in the home should be banned there was no great damage done to nicole, she was more shocked than anything....and is now panicking about the bald patch and how she can cover it and will it grow back, bless her

Sorry to hear this Shell.Hope Nicole is feeling better soon.




Feckin arseholes.I hate fireworks.

cheers jan .... as well as me being scared of fireworks.... tia now is, and im sure nicole will be more wary of them in the future

I have never liked fireworks apart from organised displays with people who know what they are doing! My ex sister in law years ago had a jumping jack thrown at her by some yob and it exploded on her shoulder she is now scarred for life

thats awful jude ....

they should be banned altogether

im just so relieved to hear that Tia and Nicole werent seriously hurt. I hope Nicole is ok hun

OMG Thank God your all ok

I hate fireworks Total waste of money

Ive got a dilemma ive been invited to a birthday party on Bonfire night but i dont really want to go out and leave the animals here alone Marks at work really early so will be in bed

Trouble is the girl whose party it is has terminal cancer so i will feel guilty if i dont go

Bleeding hell Shelley
thank god for intuition eh!
glad your all ok tho
I hate fireworks too.
especially idiots with fireworks

oh god! im glad your all ok!, something similar happened to use a firework shot over where we were all sitting luckily no1 got hit!

bren just got for like an hour show your face then say you have 2 go

Fireworks should be banned for all but professional displays.

Glad you're all okay

cheers guys ....it was proper scary stuff ... nicoles fine now, shes managed to style her hair so you cant see the bald patch, shes panicking in case the rest starts to fall out too.... ive told her to condition and massage the area, dont know if it would make much difference, but it made her feel better

one things for sure, we shant be going over there next year

oooh bren, that is a dilemma, i would just go to show your face then make your excuses and leave.... not leaving the dogs for too long is a good one

glad everyone is ok I hate fireworks as well my neighbour let them off in the garden a few years back i wouldnt let Marc go out.

so glad everyone is ok.
totally agree - fireworks should be banned for public sale and organgised events only to do displays
