We’re having a quiet one, which is how we like it. We’ve ordered a Wingstop and will watch a favourite film.

We’ll also go out for a walk at midnight to watch the fireworks.

What about you?

DS1 gone to party in London. DS2 just been invited to party with mates. So I may watch both Call the Midwife episodes. The peace is very welcome. Normally we have a large family thing, but the kids are all getting older and traditions are evolving.

I'm in bed with a vomiting bug.

I came down with norovirus or something on Christmas eve two years ago so you have my sympathies.

I am working 7am-3pm tomorrow so going to bed as soon as the bells have chimed. At least I can work from home in Pjs though.

Lying on a three-seater sofa all to myself with a hot water bottle and a wheat bag on my sore knee (post-surgery), eating lasagne with garlic bread and buttered green veg, drinking hot chocolate with chocolate liqueur, watching old Poirot and Marple while watching DH do the jigsaw he got for Christmas. Dad dozing off into his Guinness, adult dc out with friends. Utter bliss. I loathe NYE as a rule, but I’m enjoying this one.

Bubble bath (I much prefer showers but I'm going all out for the pamper thing!), hair mask, face mask, manicure, pedicure, few glasses of crémant and an early night. Then tidying up the house tomorrow ahead of my best friend coming to see me on the 2nd for a couple of nights - can't wait!

Long bike ride earlier, now on sofa with fire on and candles. Probably fall asleep by 10…

I'm going to eat an XL bar of Galaxy over something on iPlayer (possibly Call the Midwife Christmas special) or Amazon.

Then I'll drag myself out to go and check the animals on the farm where I work. After that, I hope that we are sufficiently far out into the countryside (AKA a* end of nowhere, according to some family members) to not hear fireworks from the nearest town, as I wish to go to bed early, ready to get up and milk the cows in the morning!

DH and I have spent the day in London which was nice. Now on our way home, for shower, into PJs and a glass of wine, some cheese and crackers and struggle to stay awake to see in the new year!

Eating chips and beans because we’ve run out of proper food (visiting family at the weekend so no point doing a proper shop now), watching Frankenstein, and going to bed by 10pm I reckon.

I'm in bed with a cold and I'm absolutely knackered so I'll be asleep by 9 at the latest

Slightyamusedandsilly · 31/12/2025 18:38

I'll be asleep by midnight. Just the way I like it.

Village pub this afternoon and then to a neighbour's for a curry.
