    Are we talking about the infamous Katie Brown's Little Divaz?

    If so, just to fill in the details, Little Divaz was a kids pamper party company run by Katie Brown and based in Stourbridge, Midlands. Not to be confused with lots of other companies of the same name. Big MSE thread last March about how she took money, didn't turn up, wouldn't refund.

    Endless complaints on here, Mumsnet, other forums about Katie Brown not turning up, parties being rubbish, yukky inedible food and so on.

    http://www.birminghammail.net/news/top-stories/2009/07/04/rubery-girl-s-birthday-party-ends-in-tearsas-party-organisers-fail-to-turn-up-97319-24069844/

    I had a quick look at the grumpybutgorgeous.com website. Alarmingly, you pay a £30 deposit then she wants the rest IN CASH on the day of the party. Likely to be several hundred quid. If it is the same Katie Brown, then you would be ill-advised to be paying this young lady cash until you are 100% happy with how it went.

    Also, no sign of a company reg. no. I wonder how the tax people feel about cash payments of several hundred quid?

    old threads are relevant.

    All that will happen if you drag up loads of threads is everyone will ignore them all. So instead of helping people you're doing the exact opposite.
  • dont think so on that one sorry!!.... all relevant and bookmarked
