    Well my boy has chosen to go bowling with McDonald's afterwards for his 10th. At least I won't have to pay upfront this year which was the killer when people said they would come and then not turn up. He doesn't actually like McDonald's but said his friends do, so that is considerate of him and fairly inexpensive option.

    We will sing Happy Birthday and let off party poppers just after everyone has arrived at our house to start things off.
