Thanks for the lovely comments
OH printed out the invites so I am about to sit and cut 40 of them! and then put the names on them
I picked up a funky bow (hard to explain) in silver and some silver curling ribbon so I am hoping OH will sort the pic out for me tomorrow and I can crack on with the stand tomorrow evening and hopefully finish it off.Raising kids is like being held hostage by midget terrorists0 -

yes I did say 40
there are 30 in my sons class then 10 others that are children of OH's friends. However some probably won't come. ...
Bouncer? I don't need one of them I have Nana Helen ... she can be dead scary don't think its bravery, more like stupidity lol Raising kids is like being held hostage by midget terrorists0 -
Its finally my sons birthday well it will be at 6:34am but heyho!
I still have the top to make for the stand which will take 5 mins, I have made up 45 party bags (even after the disaster with the original toy for the bags!) I have cooked 100 sausage rolls, 100 small sausages and sorted out the other bits and pieces .... I also have the rice paper to put on the cupcakes and OH is decorating the club! (he bought a 50ft screen with stars on today eek!)
Tomorrow is a new day and a very busy one!
Why am I still up at 12:05am ... my darling daughter isn't well (she always seems to be poorly on birthdays and easter!) so she is currently wandering round the living room screaming her little head off whilst OH is trying to calm her down! I can see it is going to be a long day! I might even go finish off the stand now!!! Pics will follow tomorrow hopefully after the party, depends on how tired I am and if I can get this little one to settle tomorrow night!Raising kids is like being held hostage by midget terrorists0 -
I got all excited then and thought there were piccies!!
It will all come together in the end, think of all the satisfaction!
It's sod's law isn't it? Hope she feels ok soon and you all get a good nights rest.
Can't wait to see it and just think, if everything went smoooth, you would worry more! It's just part of Motherhood!
