The preparations and waiting to the 1st birthday begins!

So it's only 5 months away now til LuLu's 1st birthday! ONLY, you say! Well she is 7 months now and that's gone by so fast that I decided 5 months will be here before I can blink my eyes! So I asked around (mainly on Netmums) for hall hire and party ideas! Found a fab hall for just £10 per hour and the best bit is the first hour is FREE! So it's costing me £20 for the hall from 1pm until 4pm! I then got onto E-bay for party bags and favours, managed to spend £40 on them, oops! The next day, half of my orders arrived! I realised I needed more so I went into town and to Poundland, I managed to spend a further £30, that made a grand total (including the hall hire) of £90 for LuLu's birthday party! You might think i'm mad, but the next two days were spent wrapping pass the parcel and prizes, followed by filling party bags and naming some of them! At least it's all out the way and I can't forget about the day until just before now!
The best part is that LuLu doesn't know anything about it and won't see me arranging any of it near the time! Call me Mrs. Organised but I think it's better to be organised and relax the week before, than to wait and suddenly have to rush around the week before!
Happy reading and I'll keep you updated soon! LuLu will have her 8 month check in March, so I will let you know how she is getting on!
Penny (and LuLu)
