I was thinking about "pimping" my Filbert (or Bert as it is now called   ) but the one thing stopping me is that I do work for agencies etc that prefer no advertising and I would hate not to be able to use him      Has anyone else pimped thier pump?  If so do you work for agents too and has it been a problem?

I know what you mean about not letting them get to me but I have had a really bad run with getting ripped off by people and to get someone that talked down to me in such a condecending manner got my back up a little!

I will calm down especially as I am doing 2 balloon parties this weekend and shall be using Bert for both.  He's a colourful soul and all I really need to do at the moment is find some way to add my name and number discretely in case he gets misplaced and sort out a strap for him so I can fling him over my shoulder.  Have to say I am amazed at how light he is - I was actually scared the whole drive home that the box was going to be empty as it really did feel as if nothing was in there  

You have named him already!  It must be love.
If you do not mind, I will copy you and call mine Cheryl. Do not know why, just drawn to that name.
Welcome children to your new homes in this british isle!
Sleep well my dears to all those filberts out there everywhere!

Let us know how you get on with it on your jobs Yvonne.  I'd love to know.  I keep eyeing the Filbert up now and I don't think DH would appreciate being told that's what I want for Mothers' Day even if he asked me!

Well it's official I am now in love with Bert.  He worked beautifully today at my job at what was one of the most relaxed and lovely parties I have worked.  I always knew I would like him but never realised how much  :roll:

The only negative thing about the Fillies is that it's real hard to blow up a doubble stuufed 260!
Normaly I don't do that, but yesterday I couldn't found my golden 260. So I stuffed a goldenrod into a silver (wich gave a real nice color by the way, I think even nicer then the glod one himself!). Tried to use my Fillie, but,.....I was afraid it would break, I had to use so much presure!
I did it once, but becourse I didn't want to break my Fillie, I did the rest with my hand pump.

Looks like I might have to convince DH that I really need one for mothers day  :lol:
