Chatting, bop-it, candy floss, Pixie Stix, Sweets, alcotrifle, Baileys+Maltesers, Wkd, champagne, spirits, cocktails, wii, fireworks, fairground claw machine, pizza, deflating inflatable sofa, top bunk in use despite lacking a mattress, huggage, presents, too much breakfast and a game of hunt the smoke detector.

There was more, but I forget... I have a handful of photos.

I'm planning a halloween and a half party at the end of April (26th). That's a halloween party six months away from halloween.

I'm also thrilled to discover that Gunther Von Hagen's Body World exhibition is coming back to the UK and will be in Manchester between late Feb and early summer so I'll be planning at least one trip to that.

Which, of course, means a poll.

[Poll #1133971]

I want to do the housewarming thing. Only I feel horribly inexperienced in this kind of stuff and I'm not quite sure where to start. I've never thrown a party. Ever.

So far the plan is a very vague "Maybe I could have a barbecue in August". So taking that as a starting point, help me out, here. Would you come to a barbecue one weekend in Peterborough? Would it make a difference to you if I offered crash space? I can comfortably put up about five people (double bed, double bottom bunk, single upper bunk), more as the comfort decreases (sofa, floorspace). There is a B&B at the end of the road that we could also make use of. Does this sound like a good plan? If not what would you recommend?
