Honestly. <br />Hope the party went well. We're supposed to be hosting a pizza night in a couple of weeks for Son's birthday but the whole thing has become a minefield. He wanted to invite just 4 people but has ended up inviting 14 so that he doesn't offend anyone for various interconnecting cliques. I haven't told the Cleaner about it yet.Footballers Kneeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02724482190095647499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-23159557535083978702011-09-13T18:10:32.072+01:002011-09-13T18:10:32.072+01:00Laura, vodka is the name of the game here (but am ...Laura, vodka is the name of the game here (but am afraid I was a lightweight and stuck to white wine...)<br /><br />EPM, exactly.

I dread to think what my 8 year old does at the end of parties, but at our party in June, almost every single child started asking for the goody bag (without saying "please") before the party had even ended.<br />In my day.....Expat mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17798190669591053390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-8490694532852648302011-09-12T09:22:57.711+01:002011-09-12T09:22:57.711+01:00Happy birthday Number 1

I know there are cultural and language issues going on, but surely the Russians don't put iced cakes in the oven?<br /><br />As far as the rest of the party goes: well done, you, against all odds. I'm so very glad those days are behind me!MsCarolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03623997911568143459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-52617680895559331822011-09-12T00:29:50.300+01:002011-09-12T00:29:50.300+01:00Happy Birthday to Boy #1.
Your post is hilarious...Happy Birthday to Boy #1. <br /><br />Your post is hilarious, especially that part about the cakes in the oven. I would have been dumbstruck and hit the girl in a silent gesture of disbelieve. <br /><br />I hope all else went well. You certainly tried hard enough. You deserve a star on your chart.Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05043376053971475659noreply@blogger.com
