Ideas for a birthday celebration during isolation?!

I have a cough, so my household and I are in 14 day isolation. I’m feeling fine, household comprises me, DH, and DCs aged 2 and 4. My birthday falls in this time, and in lieu of a nice afternoon out or dinner with DH, I’m struggling to think of ways to make the day special (and preferably, relaxing!). Luckily I have wine in....
I’m thinking of some at-home pamper time, lovely bath, morning drinking, and a big chocolate cake.
Does anyone have any other ideas I could steal to make the day fun/different? I’m a SAHM, so spending all my time in the house isn’t that novel for me, I was looking forward to my annual child-free-jolly!

DD is off with a cough and fever. Her party was cancelled yesterday and her birthday is on Thursday. We're planning a PJ day, watching Benidorn (her favourite show) and eating the giant party cake we have.

I'm in the same boat. My 30th party will likely be cancelled and restaurants will probably be closed by the time it comes around in a couple of weeks. Might get dressed up and drink wine on the sofa Grin

Hmm it seems eating and drinking copiously is going to be my best bet.....
Love the idea of getting dressed up for the day, I might even borrow some actual dressing up bits - drinking wine in a tiara at lunchtime sounds very cheering!

I've cancelled my 40th party in June and very nearly self isolating due to being rural and wfh anyway

I'm still getting my cake and I'm gonna wear my party outfit and live stream me blowing candles out and eating it. Might also smash it in my face seeing as it's 50 servings (not cancelling on my cake maker!)
