🌟Day 7: A Statement from Crissy Herself… 🌟

RIGHT. THAT’S ENOUGH. “Where’s Crissy” Indeed!!!

This is Crissy, speaking directly to all you balloon-fuelled keyboard warriors and part-time detectives currently running a 7-part podcast titled “Where's Crissy?”

Yes, I disappeared.
Yes, I have a side hustle.
Yes, I may have left a voicemail that sounded like I was halfway through a death scene in Casualty!

But let’s get one thing straight:
👉 GO International is my number one priority.
…Well, GO International and my child.
And my blind dog Bailey.
And the mugs.
And the personalised “Mum You’re Magic” sequin cushions.
And—OK look, I’m always busy.

To clarify: I wasn’t totally skiving.I was multitasking, like all great mothers do!

One hand pressing vinyl onto a mug.
The other intermittently stroking my Daughter and Bailey the dog.
My third arm (don’t ask questions)... answering WhatsApps about UGLU and if T-Balloons really are the exact same item as Deco Bubbles. (Spoiler Alert: Yes...They Definitely Are!).

To silence the gossip and calm the nation, in the attached images, I’ve provided: ✔️ A completely legitimate doctor’s note from Dr. U. Gloo
✔️ A genuine, but cartoonified for privacy: “Where’s Crissy” photo, of me under a blanket, still parenting, still hustling, still vaguely alive. (Yes, that’s a blanket. Yes, I’m on the carpet. Yes, I’m playing with blocks. And YES, I do have a copy of the original photo, available on request, to all those placing orders this week! Don’t judge me—I’ve been through things.)
________________________________________
🙄 Look, I’m sorry I went rogue. I am.
But let’s be honest—you loved the drama, Plus George now thinks he’s a better copywriter than me (Pfff.. Whatever!).

I disappear for a few days and suddenly I’m the tragic hero of Crissy: The Netflix DocuSeries – Balloons, Burnout & Biscuit Crumbs.
Here’s the truth:
I Love, LOve, LOVe, LOVE GO.
I love our clients.
I love Deco Bubbles.
I’m totally stuck on Uglu & Balloon Bond! (See what I did ther?).

And I promise:
I’m back. I’m focused. I’m yours.
(At least until the Easter Side Hustle™ kicks off—featuring bunny mugs, chocolate gift boxes, and personalised egg cups shaped like emotional baggage. But let’s cross that wobbly bridge later.) Interested in some customised merch??? Drop me a line 😉

Until then, please support my creative rehabilitation by buying Loads More Stuff from GO.
Because: ✔️ Balloons are our life and we really are the best at it!
✔️ George is watching
✔️ We all deserve time off! Maybe not as often as me, but still….

👉 www.gointernational.co.uk – where the balloons are world-class, the team is resilient, and the adverts are… well, trying their best.

🌟 Day 6: Call Off the Search – WE FOUND CRISSY! 🌟

🎈Land. Sea. Air Rescue.
Well, we’ve searched everywhere. And after six long days, blurry CCTV footage, and a balloon dog-led rescue mission… we’re thrilled to announce: CRISSY HAS BEEN FOUND.

And no—she wasn’t ill.
She wasn’t crushed under a helium tank.
She hadn’t floated off clutching a Deco Bubble.
She was… running her Mother’s Day side hustle. 😳

Yes, while we were panicking and posting awful graphics, Crissy was out there living her best entrepreneurial life—making personalised mugs, pillows, t-shirts, and whatever else you can slap a “World’s Best Mum” on.

To be fair, we assumed she was genuinely sick.
You know that Oscar-worthy performance people give at work the day before they are going to be off?
😮‍💨 “I’m fine, I just… I can’t breathe… I think it’s the flu, or stress, or pollen, or balloon dust…”
Then the next day you get a voicemail and it sounds like they’ve just smoked 40 menthols and gargled gravel?

Well, that’s what she did.
We were worried, we were supportive, and we were… apparently… very, very nice about it.

💻 Anyway, with Mother's Day nearly done, we’re told normal service will resume next week. Meaning, fingers crossed, no more desperate creations or George-themed tutu content.

BUT WAIT.
OH NO. NO. NO!!!
WE JUST REMEMBERED…
🐣EASTER is around the corner.

Cue: Crissy’s Easter Side Hustle™ featuring personalised bunny mugs, novelty egg cups, and tea towels that say “Some bunny loves you.”

Which means… yes… the poorly voice may well be back.
The “I think I’ve got a temperature” texts.
The "I have to rush home, my dog just called me in a panic"!
The suspiciously familiar Instagram stories posted from craft markets, while we post terrible memes about UGLU.

🎯 So maybe—just maybe—this isn’t the end of our terrible adverts after all!

👉 Save us from our Design-based despair:
Shop at www.gointernational.co.uk
Buy stuff. Buy LOTS of stuff.
Maybe we can find a Plan B Crissy Designer.

🌟 Day 5: WHERE’S CRISSY?! 🌟

🎈 It’s Day 5. Crissy is still missing. And frankly, so is our grip on reality.

Yes, ladies and gents, we’ve entered full-blown Where’s Wally? mode – except instead of a cheery man in a bobble hat, we’re looking for a marketing designer in a red-and-white top who’s either blending in, escaped like a badly tied rogue balloon, out the van door on a windy day., or possibly just buried under a mountain of unedited Canva files. 🕵️‍♀️🎈

We even made the picture. It’s was genuinely harder to do than a 5,000-piece jigsaw in a snowstorm. Crissy might be in there. Or she might be hiding in the warehouse buried under a mountain of plush bears and her favourite home made Lasagna. We simply don’t know anymore.

🧁 Search attempts so far include:

Under the desks (just fluff, food droppings and one lonely curling ribbon)

Under very heavy helium canisters (don’t try that at home)

Behind George’s life size motivational quote poster (“Don’t let anyone burst your bubble… unless they’re paying for the refill.” – Confucius, probably)

🕵️‍♀️ We even checked the food cupboard – just a packet of half eaten instant noodles, a passive-aggressive note that said “Don’t touch my snacks,” and what we think was once a field mouse.

Content-wise, we’re now scraping the barrel. We’ve used:

A suspiciously large dog in a GO hoodie

A banana duct-taped to the wall with Clik-Clik Stretchy Tape (high art, low budget)

George in a tutu (it haunts us)!

And a balloon shaped like a duck that no one remembers making

💡 So here's your mission:
Buy more balloons. Loads of them. For every 10 Deco Bubbles ordered, we’ll add another square foot to our Crissy Search Map. Or at least be able to bribe her back with fresh snacks!

In the meantime, yes – we still have actual things you can sell to real customers: 🎉 Grabo, Sempertex, Anagram, Gemar, Deco Bubbles, Oaktree, Blah, Blah!
🎉 Helium Canisters
🎉 UGLU & Clik-Clik (the tape of dreams)
🎉 LED Lights, ribbons, balloon bling, and possibly our remaining dignity

👉 Shop now at www.gointernational.co.uk – and help us rescue Crissy from wherever she’s hiding. Let's be honest, we need her back, as no one deserves to see such poor quality marketing!!

🌟 Day 4: Crissy's Off Again – Please Still Buy Our Balloons 🌟

🎈 It’s Day 4, and we regret to inform you that Crissy has vanished again. Yes, our creative queen made a glorious comeback yesterday… only to disappear today. Rumour has it she saw the state of our advertising and ran. Fast. 🏃‍♀️💨

With no designer and dangerously low caffeine supplies, we’ve officially run out of visual content. Seriously, we’ve used every picture of balloons, pets, and even that one awkward photo of George in a Pink TuTu! Desperate times.

So here’s our proposal: 💡 Buy more balloons and stuff, so we can hire a backup Crissy. Or at least afford more biscuits to bribe her back.

In the meantime, you can still browse:
🎉 Deco Bubbles
🎉 Helium Canisters
🎉 UGLU & Clik-Clik
🎉 Lights, ribbons, weights, and all the bits that make party magic happen!

Let’s be honest, you’re not here for the design… you’re here for brilliant balloons and industry-leading wholesale service – which, fortunately, we still deliver even if our graphics don’t!

👉 Help support a Crissy-in-crisis. Visit www.gointernational.co.uk and shop like your business depends on it (because it kinda does). 🎈

🌟 Day 2: Please STILL Buy Our Balloons🌟

🎈 It’s Day 2, and Crissy has made a miraculous recovery. Or at least, we think so? We’ll find out after the next round of coffee and cookies.🍪☕

But– today, not one, but TWO furry marketing assistants have joined the team! A cute cat 🐱 and an adorable dog 🐶, each with a balloon to win your hearts. (Seriously, who can resist this fluff + balloons combo?)

And let’s be honest, this is way better than what’s trending as the number one Google search term right now. We won’t say what it is, but we’re definitely not going there… 😊

Don’t let the cuteness distract you from the real deal – we are still GO International, the UK’s leading importer and wholesaler of high-quality balloons and party supplies! 🎉

✨ Whether it’s Deco Bubbles, UGLU, Clik-Clik, Lights, or all the good stuff in between, we’ve got everything you need to make your events purr-fect and pawsome! 🐾 If you're a retailer, decorator, or event organiser, we’re here to help YOU shine.

As for Crissy, she’s still a bit poorly, but we’re optimistic that normal service (and perhaps better advertising) will resume shortly! 🎈

👉 Help us help you – visit www.gointernational.co.uk because your business deserves better marketing than this (but honestly, who can resist the cute animals?). 🚀
