WOOHOO - Everyone loves a PARTY!! Ha ha. Oh yes, you've guessed it - it was my birthday at the weekend and I had thee best time. Apart from my little cousin blowing out my birthday candles, TWICE, it was a fun filled and very eventful afternoon and night. I don't think you can get much better than having a house/garden party with all your friends and family...well - I guess a massive beach party would maybe top it! I supplied a lovely little spread (from a trusty source, of course) and a plethora of different drinks of an alcoholic nature. The icing on the cake was the two games of pass the parcel I had arranged - old school classic! The only down side was, I covered the pretty useless presents in pages and pages on newspaper, without realising how ink stained everyones hands would get...and thus waking up to a nicely black patch carpet...oh and some red wine spills - as standard! Great...

I was prepared for masses of food, drink, games and the odd child running around...but I was not prepared for the MESS! Ahhhhhhhh. Took me 4 hours to clear up but it was worth it.

Oh and I got all my fun coloured party ware from www.partybox.co.uk - they have some great stuff. I bought these coloured plastic glasses - perfect to prevent the usual breaks!

I have now decided to have more parties more often - why wait for your birthday to through one...oh yeah, the MESS!
