I don't get why she made the announcement about having a day off for personal reasons, but I doubt it was to hold a party at her house - when you live near someone well known, they can't be hidden as such, its known that they live there and what with what has happened to Mrs Hinch, any comings and goings would have been jumped upon and photographed. Anyone in the public eye especially insta-famous (I know SS is famous for other things as well) would be insanely stupid to break the rules now. I also don't know why Joe wasn't at the house on her son's birthday, that doesn't seem right. When they did the story with him bringing the curry over to her, he practically threw it at her and the look on his face was not nice. They had a row and he walked out, which given it was the boys birthday the next day is really bad.
