    i think kids like the picnic thing if you have a coffee table that can go in the middle and use disposable table covers for the rug then all the mess can just get wrapped up at the end

    Nixi - maybe use table to put food out on and then they get a plateful and take it to "picnic area" to sit down and eat. unless as Elly says you have a low table to put in the middle.
    have found if you set food out on floor the bowls and plates of stuff can get stood in /tipped over. not so bad if its just one persons plate but if its a plate of butties for the whole party could be a disaster!

    Sorry I missed your birthday Mabel...the sulkie was great ..what a nice surprise
    Still a spring chicken at 38 ....are we still starting diets tommorow :D:D I will weigh myself in morning

    Amber and elly love the merkinvale storys:rotfl:

    Been away for a few days with my DDs and DGD,things have settled down but she doesnt want police involved,says she will just have to go through it again in court,We have taken photos though
    He has been trying to message her via facebook...says she will block him..hope its the last time with her

    I am shattered so I am going to bed,will catch up tommorow


    Hi evenstar...hmmm diet....oops...umm perhaps next week? Got 3 creme eggs and half a box of milk tray in the fridge :-) cant diet when i've got a cold coz I feel sorry for myself and eat everything in sight!

    Glad its going better with DD hun-do wish she'd change her mind and go to the police but you can't have everything I suppose. At least you and her have worked things out.

    Thats about the extent of my idea - only problem is the 'party games' area (my lounge!) will be the eating are too! - but thank you guys, you have made me think it is do-able!!

    They are mainly 5 with a couple of 3 year olds - 12 children and hopefully at last 6 adults, so lots of people to help!
    Life is a work in progress
