Fantastic advice - but trust me from organising loads of charity events where we had to blow up loads of balloons, don't make it harder on yourself than you have to. Buy a cheap balloon pump, or two so you can get someone to help you and save you energy 
One's like these:
Balloon Air Pump - Qualatex Double Action on eBay, also Balloons Decorations, Party Items Supplies, Celebrations Occasions, Home Garden (end time 04-Sep-08 20:59:42 BST)
or these:
2 HAND OPERATED BALLOON PUMPS, RIGID PLASTIC DESIGN on eBay, also Balloons Decorations, Party Items Supplies, Celebrations Occasions, Home Garden (end time 05-Sep-08 10:41:32 BST)
ie. round ones that say they are dual action, not the flatter ones that come with cheap balloon modelling kits and they don't work as well. |
