What are you doing for the Jubilee?

[noo noo]

A group of 24 of us are going away camping for the weekend with tents bedecked in bunting, games of pin the tail on the corgi and much quaffing of Pimms!

On Jubilee Day itself I'm hosting a "Blooming Great Jubilee Tea Party" to raise funds for Marie Curie Cancer Care

The dress code is red, white and blue. Got a cute Minnie Mouse jubilee T for Iona in Primark plus some union jack deeply boppers and sunspecs. Fab party stuff in Poundand and Poundworld so got some napkins, tablecloth, paper plates, bunting, paper cups and a cake stand. Crown cookie cutters from Lakeland.

On the common 4 doors down from my house there will be a band and entertainment. The local neighbours will take a picnic and generally relax and enjoy ourselves. This is on the Sunday. Timothy's birthday is the 1st so on the 2nd we will go and do something as a family

[katkinn]

oh my god am I the only one who can muster up absolutely ZERO excitement about it

We have planned absolutely nada. We'll end up doing something but i'm still Royaled out from the wedding last year.

I. Just. Don't. Care.

CErtainly don't need an excuse to have a party - who on earth ever does?

Probably just me though

On the Saturday, we are going to a neighbour's for a patriotic barbecue.

And on the Sunday we are going to London to watch the Queen's river procession, somewhere on the riverbank. And then, when it's passed, somewhere more civilised with a bar A friend of ours is a herald and will be on the barge in front of her!

I remember watching the Silver Jubilee as a child and would like DD to have an equally memorable day.

No, I'm the same, but I feel like I should do something, probably for this reason...

Haven't got anything planned but we will do something for the kids, even if it's just dressing up or buying them some cakes. They're more excited about the Olympics tbh, and we just see it as an extra Bank Holiday.

But I'm not all bah-humbug about it, I remember 1977 well and it was a fabulous time, would love to recreate that for the kids. Just finding it a bit hard to plan for the future atm.

[Rosa]

Nothing doing here, I'm not every in to the royals, at all really! Not excited about the olympics either

We're not doing anything either, although I'll be 37 ish weeks pregnant so probably not in the mood for doing anything at all

The only thing we might do is drive down to see my parents (hour away) as their neighbours, with whom we're quite friendly, are having a lunch-time do. But that will depend on how I'm feeling.

Final go at posting this (BoardExpress or whatever it's called is playing up). It's MIL's birthday on 1 June so for her (eye-wateringly expensive) present we are going to be on a boat on the Thames watching the pageant go by.

We are having a tea party / garden party (depending on the weather) with the family. Em has a red, white and blue headband for the occasion

Will probably go and watch the river pageant too

[mrsdunny207]

DD is really excited about it, she's drawn 4 pictures of the queen today

She's got a bday party on the Sunday and we've been invited for a friends garden party on the Monday which we can walk to.

Nope, me neither.

o.

Bless M is strangely excited too, except he still can't get his head round us not having a king (I suspect he thinks the Queen should be at home doing the cooking or something while 'the King' does the work )

We are going to our neighbourhood street party. It's been organised by the local businesses and they are closing the high street in the village. I am looking forward to it.

[bubblewrap]

I wasn't aware I was expected to do anything!

Kids are off school so I imagine I'll lie in bed until about noon then spend the afternoon shouting at them for Making A ****ing Mess.

[parkejm]

We're having a street party again this year. I'm not desperately excited about it, but it'll be nice enough. I don't have any other plans so I'll go along. I have been ordered to provide some desserts again this year so I will need to do that and may as well socialise for a bit too.

[cheeky_biscuit]

Nothing out of the ordinary.

[Damsella]

I shall also be toasting Liz with lots of fizz Would be rude not to!
