    I have them mapped out in order in a list. Once I have enough I buy it.

    I have all his plates, napkins, table clothes, medals, party bags (and filling minus sweets - i would devour them :() received from Amazon, huge entry wall art for door - all avengers theme

    Right now I am £5 away from getting life size cut out of avengers characters with holes in their face so kids can put head through and get their pic taken with it - feel its so different for a kids party.

    Then I am getting a few avengers theme banners, hats and a pinata so probably £20. Then personalised invitations will work out £10 from ebay - will get that end of September wage and hand out October to his school friends.

    :) xx

    Interest has been added. I rounded this around. Right now very skint (only paid last week shameful I know :(!!

    Very quiet weekend planned this weekend!

    Also noted *whilst sounding like an alcoholic* it was two years ago today I started back on this 1/9/2014, I was heavily depressed (2 stone heavier) and going through a rough break up feeling so miserable.

    Two years later paid off nearly £5,500 (sickens me i have nothing to show but lesson learned from my ex) and lost weight and a lot happier. Thanks to this group and my friends :-* xx
