First off he got an Xbox, which almost broke the bank :eek: he wanted a new bike AS WELL!!!! Bless, kids today huh.

Anyway, we had 9 friends round for the morning...out playing with cars LOL :p Then we all went to watch Sharks Tale, really good, and saw all the trailers for the up and coming movies for Xmas.....sooo excited LOL. Then we all headed down to Hard Rock, where we had a bun fight, cream cake in the face etc.. A friend for a sleep-over, watching movies with pop-corn 'til VERY late. He was happy, hubby and I were....ready for a large wine :D

How about yours?

I can't ever remember having a birthday party when I was little let alone a cake. I had 3 older brothers and neither did they, mum & dad must have thought if they do it for one they would have to do it for all....they just couldn't afford it. I never complained, I always got a card and a pressie of some description :)

My mum banned birthday parties after a fight broke out at my 5th birthday!!! After that me and my brother were allowed a few, carefully selected and approved, friends to take out to the cinema/bowling/ice skating etc.
