Unexpectedly alone NYE, ideas anyone

Just that really. I was going to fly to meet DH for NYE but haven’t been able to get a seat. He is on a road trip which was always on the cards and set off yesterday. He did volunteer to come back and get me when I couldn’t get a flight but he really needs time alone for a few days and I wouldn’t have liked the trip at all.
I am fine about it in general but suddenly wondering what to do instead. I am in a biggish city and have loads of friends but a bit unsure about announcing my unexpected availability. I want to do something though.
Ideas anyone

Add a post to FB or whichever social media saying you're free in NYE & see if anyone else is free to meet up. You'll hopefully get some invites from people having parties, going out. Or maybe a friend with no plans could come over to you.

Personally, I'd get a decent dvd/film on sky, few drinks, takeaway & some snacks & be in bed before midnight Smile

Can you message your friends to find out how their Christmas was and ask if they're up to much for New Year? You might get an invite to something fun if they realise you no longer have plans. We're having a very small get together for NYE and recently found out a friend was at a loose-end, she got an invite straight away.

Thanks all of you especially HoneyBee03. I don’t like to impose on my friend but I guess you are right. I would invite a friend if I knew they were by themselves.
ForalltheSaint. I did look at the the cinema. The multiplex is closed I think or has an event anyway I can’t book anything. The independent has things I have seen or kids films.
Feeling a bit negative now it is sinking in. I am not that fussed about NYE but being alone seems a bit bleak.
