Debbie Kirby and husband Dan had invited family and friends to a party for son Charlie at their home in March last year. They played various games and enjoyed a buffet, with everyone heading off at around 8pm, Manchester Evening News reports.
Once the last of the guests had left, the couple stayed up dancing and drinking until about midnight before heading to bed. However, as Debbie made her up the stairs, she took a tumble and hit her head on a cupboard.
