Where's the Pride before this fall?

My biggest fear I think will happen on my birthday weekend...

Why do I set myself up for such things?

You see I have arranged a party as it's a big birthday this year and they say life is supposed to start this time so I thought why not start with a bang, only this party was just going to be a BBQ at home and has escolated to a hog roast in a village hall with a disco and bar, only I haven't booked the disco yet because I don't feel there will be enough people to justify the cost.

You see a BBQ at home is fine for 30 to 40 people but the disco and hog roast is more in line for nearer 100 people.

I remember throwing a big BBQ when daughter was little, the food and drink was all there for 30+ people and my older brother was the only person who turned up, I have never felt so unloved or hated before and this scares me.

So why did I let this get so big, why didn't I just stick to my guns and keep it small and at home, what made me decide to invite all my family and for very few of them to come?

I've had little response from friends as well, at this rate we'll be eating pork for months to come.

No one wants to feel unloved on thier birthday, I just hope people do turn up, in the mean time how many do I cater for 30, 60 or 90? Anyone have a crystal ball I can borrow?

They say pride comes before a fall, so where is the pride, all I can see is a hugh fall and it's not a good one...
