My son's 9th birthday is on Sunday. I had started buying his presents pre lockdown and unfortunately a planned trip to Legoland (inc staying at his favourite premier inn in Slough 🤣) has been cancelled but we have promised him we will go once it all reopens. He has requested a Dominos pizza on Sat night and then a tea party on the Sunday just the 4 of us. I will make his cake as normal but just a lot smaller as normally on his birthday we have all our local family come over for cake and tea.

One thing I have done is collated video messages from his school friends and family saying 'happy birthday' and will edit them together and play on his birthday morning! I emailed his teacher who also made a really sweet video messaged and sent back :)

He will at least always remember his 9th birthday! I hope he isn't too disappointed.

It’s my husbands birthday in June and as much as I would love to think we could celebrate it as normal I think it gets less likely every day.

We normally go away for a European city break for our birthdays but that is definitely not an option. I have booked concert tickets - just waiting for it to be cancelled to get my refund so really I need ideas of what we could do at home to celebrate instead.

Does anyone have any ideas that could share?

It’s my friend’s 50th on Monday and I’ve been trying to think of ways to make it special. I’m planning to go down very early in the morning and put some balloons on her fence with drawing pins to wake up to. I know balloons aren’t very environmentally friendly, but I want to give her some sort of surprise. I’ll make sure and tell her to bin them and not let them go.

Clothes shopping is her favourite thing so before this I had planned to get her a voucher but that’s out the window. I have a few little presents that I’m going to leave at her door. I’ll wipe them beforehand and wear gloves.

Under normal circumstances we would go for a meal, or to Belfast for a shopping trip maybe.

If anyone has any other ideas I would appreciate it? I have a lot of party supplies and decorations here already from kids birthdays.
Aw whatever you do will be appreciated.
Seems like many of us are celebrating our 50th in lockdown.
