DH big birthday end of March... Do I attempt to plan something?

By something, I mean book a meal or something with his family or do I go with my gut feeling that we'll be in lockdown still?
I've found something that I can have set up at home just for us, but it's a lot of money if we end up paying out for an actual outing too.
I'm right, aren't I? Even if some restrictions lift, it won't be enough to make a big deal over his birthday, never mind if we actually should?

Yep, you're right.

In the same quandary! What are you planning to set up from home can I ask?

My DH has the big 50 in February, i think we’ll just do something big next year together when it’s mine. I Like to be optimistic but not sure on restaurants.

Do you mind me asking what you’ve found? My 50th in March too. Looking for good ideas to spend the day inside - again.

@chocolatebuttonsarethebest I've found a company that will set up a bell tent in the garden, bedding fairylights, heating etc. It's £175, but it's his 40th so want to do something different. Thinking a nice takeaway and some wine. The kids will love sleeping in a tent. I may also but a projector, so we can watch a film too.

Sounds lovely. Are you a housewife of Cheshire fan by chance?!!

I live roadside so that wouldn’t work for me but it does sound different and if it’s what I saw on the RHOC, I don’t think the price sounds bad either.

Lovely idea

TokyoSushi · 14/01/2021 22:18

Sounds lovely, I'm still waiting to celebrate my big birthday which was at the end of LAST March! One day...

Thorilicious · 14/01/2021 22:19

I'm so pleased people think it's a good idea! He's hard to buy for, but we do enjoying camping, we can just do it in style!

Do the tent! That sounds a great idea.

Thorilicious · 14/01/2021 22:20

@Dontbetardy no, not a fan, but I may need to check it out!
