Mumsnet don't do birthday parties, but if they did...

[Millenniumbug1]

DH took 14yo & chums quasaring, then BBQ in back garden. Kids now upstairs hammering on elec guitars & drums. After minimal washing up, (binned paper plates & cutlery) I'm in back garden with glass of rose & mug of tea. Bliss!

If MN did parties there'd be no goody bags!!

I wanna be like you-hoo-hoo ... ( unsucsessful King Louie impersonation ... ) I loath birthday parties and always end up hoasting huge Last-Days-Of-Rome extravaganzers due to GUILT ...
