    Hi All,

    I may require some assistants in the near future :)

    Currently, I am looking to fill a room (Approx size of a large sitting room) full of large(ish) balloons, and require one or two assistants to help with the inflation..

    If anybody is interested around the Dublin 5 area, or has some spare time in the mornings let me know :)

    It wont be for about another 2 weeks anyway..

    Gimme a holler if interested in helping :)

    :)

    Why not just order them already blown up? I don't think it's wise to ask strangers from the internet to come to your house to blow up balloons. Why not ask a friend/relative/neighbour if you can't buy them blown up?

    Thanks Cathmandoo!

    I could order them blown up but it would mean that I would have to collect and pay for the orders of each one, which can be expensive :)

    They wont be for my house anyway, lol, I will be bringing them to a venue..

    I have asked a couple of relatives and they declined, also I dont want a "particular" person to know about the balloons until they attend something that I have planned :)

    Thanks though for your concern there, appreciated :)

    :)

    Sure gets yourself an inflation pump or a helium cannister, it'll make the job a lot easier than using the air in your lungs, then it hopefully wouldn't take you too long. Plus it would be cheaper than ordering pre-inflated ones!

    Best of luck with it, it sounds amazing, I love balloons!!

    Thanks Cathmandoo!!

    I have a small airbed pump which I can use, but doesnt always make them full of is sometimes tricky to use as the balloons I have are not normal sized, and the mouth of them are quite large (which the pump hose really doesnt fit)

    I also love balloons (hence the name LOL)

    :):)

    Actually....

    Cheeky of me to ask perhaps, but Cathmadoo, you wouldnt happen to know anywhere that has large sized balloons by any chance would you?

    Around Dublin like?

    I am usually looking for specific shape, size etc so can be tricky for me to get them :(

    I usually use www.topballon.de (if you have a look at their site you will see that they dont really sell "Normal" balloons)

    Wow they are some funky ballons. Must tag this site for the furture... Don't know if tis anygood to you either but have you seen the mini helium canister you can buy online for filling balloons.. Quite handy


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37 Balloonboy


    Thanks Milly!

    Yeah, I have seen those canisters before :)

    I dont want them to float, so probably will use my trusty airbed pump :)

    Yeah, that site is great actually too, and they ship quite quickly... Only thing is they are great for ordering flat balloons and not inflated lol

    haha sure no wonder they dont ship them inflated...The size of them yeah !! :)

    If i was in Dublin i would say yes just for the laugh to see them but unfortunetly in Cork.. Good luck with the hunt though...Nab a few kids or something offer to give them a cinema ticket i am sure thats legal

    Thanks Milly..

    This time they are actually for a surprise party thingy, but other than that yes, I do have a balloon hobby LOL...

    I have a couple of giant 8foot balloons that i ordered before from that site and they are great fun though!! And I also have a couple of balloons that I ordered too called "Airships" or "Zepplins" (see below link to their page)
