Dh and I are supervising a house party for 15, 13 yr olds who want to have a first grown up (!!!) NYE party...I shall gladly fall into bed at the first opportunity! They are having pizza and movies.then a pamper session then outside to toast marshmallows and eat piping hot jacket spuds round the fire pit to see in the new year! then they will be out in the garden watching all the neighbours fireworks. If I can get them all in bed by 1 am I will be happy. Then NYD its breakfast n parents arriving to pick up by lunchtime.

We’ve done nothing for years and this year decided we would host a New Year’s Eve party… only to find all our close friends also enjoy doing nothing so only one couple was going to come, we all had a good laugh about it and will all stay in our own homes as usual. I’ll probably cook, not sure what yet, maybe a curry, then we will play board games and probably fall asleep with some crap tv in the background.

Maybe a takeaway then bed with tv to snuggle in. If we make the bells that all well and good if not it doesn't matter !

We've been invited to my colleagues for a gathering. It's tricky with a 3yr old and 5yr old though so not sure what to do!

We don’t do much here. Light a few sparklers and have hot chocolate and s’mores in the garden (we started this when kids were little)

they will go to bed for 9 and we will watch tv
