    Fiona, .

    I don't think that you need to do a birthday party, especially at home if you can't get the house clean/tidy without rendering yourself more injured by doing so. What I have done for my kids is just make cake and take it to their daycare (they were both in the same daycare over their birthdays, so it worked well for the kinder room for dd), as I didn't see the point in trying to do a party elsewhere. They each loved it. I think it would be a great idea to either talk to the preschool if you could do the same (and they'll sing happy birthday), or talking to the playgroup for a saturday time would also be good.

    It is a bit difficult in Woodend to do things outdoors over the next few months, I know the weather there, so I can't really suggest any other alternatives. I hope you can find something that suits your plans without being too much of a stretch, you don't want to remember this celebration for further hurting yourself.

    I just think it's too expensive for a 5 year old... and I am not sure they developmentally can appreciate it.... BUT

    whatever you do will be perfect for your DD...
    I totally agree with that! She will be happy with whatever you do!
