    I had a swimming party in my back garden for my grandaughters 8th birthday. (only one of those 18 foot inflatable jobbies before anyone gets any ideas about me living in Purdita Mansion ;)) We had a BBQ and lots of party games. The one the kids loved best was where they had two teams and a race where they had to wear mens wellies, stop to put on a hat, a mans jacket, climb through a hoop etc. then take them off on the way back before the next person in the team set off.

    I think they are so used to sitting infront of the Tv or with a PSP/Wii/DS that they really enjoy playing daft games.

    I agree. That's exactly why I want to do something different for him. McDonalds is too easy (not to mention not at all mse) I can take him there anytime. I can't do his birthday party anytime

    I am a wee bit annoyed at some of the things I have heard tonight and am very cross that his dad hasn't done anything about the situation that's going on right now

    Amazon emailed me a £10 off kindle code last week. I think it expires on 10th August. Would have to check when I'm not on my phone but if it's any use, my finger could slip on the forward button :cool:

    I have the strangest feeling Mrlala ordered one of these:cool::cool:

    Just spoke to Nannlylala on the phone and thats exactly what I told her;)She's getting frustrated because Nannylala is a real mother hen who wants to cooch you up and feed you up and Auntielala doesnt want to eat at the moment:(:(:(She just wants to sleep and has been feeling really sick:(

    This is normal after a chemo session, it knocks you for 6 and really takes it out of you, you have tablets for the sickness that can make you sick too!:eek:

    I'm guessing she'll be having them in 3 weekly sessions....just as you start to feel better from one session, your onto the next one....she'll need a lot of rest but it will be worth it,

    I'm sure you and master Lala with lift Nanny and auntielala's spirits at the weekend xx :)

    Just counted up the value of all my coupons and they come to £50.33. I only print the ones I know I will use or it could be more ;)

    Lots of party games is the answer,

    Pass the parcel - put a balloon/sweetie between each layer so everyone has something

    Throw a six - Take a T's leaf tray put a slab of choc in the middle and a knife and fork, 2 pairs of gloves and 2 scarves each child rolls the dice in turn, if they throw a six the have to put the gloves and scarf on and can eat as much choc until the next person throws a six, then they have to quickly remove the scarf/gloves before another 6 is throw otherwise they are out, game ends when all are out or all choc is eaten

    Keep the cellophane windows out of your post, cut a fish shape out of them get the kids to design their own fish then give each child a piece of paper, line the fish up and get the child to get their fish to the finish line by wafting the paper at the fish.

    As for food a BBQ sausages/burgers/veggie options, napkins, value ketchup cheap and kids love it :)

    My kids 8 and 10 love the throw a six game! I think old style games are best as not many kids play them now - pass the parcel, spin the bottle, or if out in a park some kind of treasure hunt with clues
