Planning Frazer's Party - the beginning

I'm not even going to mention everything I've been moaning about on Piazza Pacifico (CN support forum) because it's just he same old same old and I don't want to be that miserable all the time! I will say that I've still not spoken to Liam, even though he did give me a bit of an opening (unsure whether he's read my blog or just finally clicked, I would rather the latter but all the same it's not as if he said it like he meant it, so it was probably just a coincidence.)


Frazer's Birthday
It's in 2 months - I need to get cracking! If I'm doing a party I like to leave myself about 3 months dammit, what was I thinking!? lol
I think it's because I'm so determined not to do much this time. He had a big (full class almost) party last year so is NOT having another this year. Today I heard about this; http://www.eco.co.uk/visitors/whatson/consumer/doctor-who-exhibition/
and it looks really good. It goes right up until September, so we could take Frazer for his birthday. I'm thinking of taking him there and having a mini tea party at home after, just some junk food and a Tardis cake - nothing major at all.
But then I start looking up Doctor Who party ideas (http://209.15.117.162/html/space_parties_6.html) and then I start looking at Doctor Who party products on Ebay (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=380014279984&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=025)
and whoops - there I go again! Getting carried away on yet another party.

The problem is that Frazer just isn't as social as Scarlett, so I want to make an effort for him all the more. He doesn't have a best friend at school, and I'm not entirely sure how the friends he does play with are with him. I'd like to invite his closest friends from school - if it were only one or two I'd ask them along to the exhibition as well as to the party at home!

OK, been thinking about it - I've shown Frazer the pics of the exhibition that a friend has taken and he LOVES the idea. I'd like to ask Sally and her boys along - I'm thinking that two family tickets plus an extra child (from school) will probably still be less than bowling, which is what Frazer first wanted to do (then drifted off the idea).
We can then come home and eat Tardis cake and somehow force me to do the bare minimum in entertainment at home and party bags! I always go way OTT.

At school Frazer has never really had a best friend. He played a fair bit with Frankie in nursery, but drifted apart. Then Jack in year one; Jack even came to visit once and Frazer went to his house - we don't often get visitors as we don't live as close to the school as everyone else. Then Jack moved and that's it really.
He's started to play with Jack (new boy replacing the old Jack!), James and Jack from the other year 2 class. I remember his teacher suggesting the new Jack as a good friend, as he seems nice, and where he is new it gives Frazer (being so shy) a better chance to make friends. Frazer says that out of the 3, this Jack is his favourite, though still insists he has no best friend! lol Maybe we will ask this Jack along to Frazer's birthday if his mum is OK with it.
