Solo NYE - who else?

Not how I envisaged it, but I'll be spending NYE at home on my own this year. I don't particularly mind - I was invited to various do's but I'm the only one of my friends that's currently single so midnight kisses would be depressing!

Who else is seeing in 2019 on their own?

Me. Not too sad about it as I’ve never been that fussed about NYE but I imagine it might feel a bit sad later.

Considering going out to get something nice to eat. Or maybe takeaway but I do not need the calories.

Yes, staying in like I do every year. Wine and chocolate in front of the telly.

tryingtomoveon10 · 31/12/2018 11:48

I've never been big on NYE either, but I'm preparing myself to feel sad tonight.

But the good news is that calories don't count between 6pm on 31st December and 6am on 1st January, so go all out 😉

Me. I'm not bothered and find NYE a non event. I'm
Working tomorrow anyway.

Yes me too. Working till 10pm (convenience store) then home on my own. Usual evening really. Not fussed. Working tomorrow too. Happy New Year

Gwenhwyfar · 31/12/2018 13:06

I'm glad I'm not working tomorrow. I will still be up late because of all the noise.

Me! I will be on the Xbox playing Neverwinter.

Me. I'd love to go to a NYE party but I'm never invited. All my friends are married with kids so they do things as families. I try not to be sad about it every year but I am really.

nevisbump · 31/12/2018 14:10

Not this year but did 4 years ago, I had recently came out of a relationship and wanted to be alone and up until then it was the best nye I had.

Ceebeegee · 31/12/2018 14:17

Me too !
First New Years Eve on my own since a marriage breakdown. All my friends are coupled up and doing "couple-y" things.
I plan on a nice hot bubble bath and a face mask and then telly and chocolate.

Oddcat · 31/12/2018 14:22

I’m on my own too . I had a dreadful nights (non) sleep and so I’m still in bed , in fact I might stay here until tomorrow.

dogzdinner · 31/12/2018 14:23

Me. I just see it as any other night, but being kept awake by fireworks

tryingtomoveon10 · 31/12/2018 14:57

I'm waiting for all the "new year, new me" posts on Facebook 🤮 though I am determined not to be on my own this time next year x

It is just another day, a new year starts tomorrow .... same shit just a different day.

Happy New Year 🎉

Me. All my single friends are away and didn't fancy tagging along with my married friends. Actually had a little cry about it yesterday but feel ok today. I'm picking my best friend up from the airport tomorrow so will spend the afternoon with her.

Got my three lovely cats for company tonight, some films lined up and a nice Pinot Grigio in the fridge 🍸

TheLovleyChebbyMcGee · 31/12/2018 15:05

Me, most likely. DS is going through 4 month sleep regression and we're trying to get him in a routine, my husband thinks it's daft to break routine for 1 night. But I'll likely be awake with baby anyway.

Standstilling · 31/12/2018 15:11

Trying I hope this evening doesn't bring too much sadness for you. But if sadness does come we can sit with it and let it pass, can't we? Because we've got this. Every down has got to be followed by an up eventually.

And pizza. I have pizza and whisky liqueur. And chocolate. Thanks for the heads up about NYE calories Grin

Happy new year to you Thanks
