Thanks for agreeing to come and help with the party. Don’t worry, we’ll have too many time to get everything sorted out. I haven’t invited plenty of people; the last time I had a party there were too much and it was a bit of a disaster as there wasn’t some to drink. The only problem might be that any of Jim’s friends don’t like beer, so we’ll have to get some wine as well. I won’t have too much glasses - do you have any? For food I was thinking of getting any pizzas in – it’s really easy and it won’t cost too many. For twenty people how much pizzas do you think we’re going to need? Another thing I’ve just thought of – I won’t have any chairs to go round. Didn’t you use to have any fold-up chairs in your flat? Could you maybe lend me some of them? Three or four should be a lot of. Also do you have too much CDs you could bring round? My collection isn’t great and I don’t have much dance music. I’m not sure if it’s going to be easy for people to find the flat but they all have my mobile phone number so if people have much problems finding the flat they can always give us a call.
