It's DS's birthday in September & I live in a v. Small flat in London.
He is pre school age but has asked to have a party and I have agreed. I didnt do one last year as I took him to the aquarium instead.
I looked into booking the local church hall and was horrified at the cost - just shy of £400 for two hours!! then there's food and party bags and goodness knows what else to think of.
The other parties we have been to people have hired entertainers & had a bouncy castles etc. All fabulous and much enjoyed but after I looked into it the additional costs mean the day would be near enough £800!!!
I mean it's ludicrous isn't it? AIBU? Is this what people in London who live in shoe boxes do or is there something I don't know about? I can't keep up with it. I'm half thinking of chancing the weather putting them all in the park

To just not be able to keep up with the cost of children's parties in London?
