How would you spend NYE alone?

[Mallowmarshmallow]

My DH will be out volunteering and DC are small so will be in bed. I'll be alone from 8.00pm ish....how would you spend it?

I'm thinking of a film and the remains of the christmas but wondered if anyone had anything more inspired....!

Nope a good movie some good food and wine sounds like a great night to me - I'll be on a long haul flight.

I'll be eating a takeaway and drinking wine with a good book, and having an early night. I'm really looking forward to it!

I'd get lots of nice snacks, find a good boxset on Netflix or Sky (we're watching You at the moment, and loved the one about the conman husband, Dirty John) and a good bottle of wine/gin.

I'd change the bedding, once the children are in bed I'd also go to my freshly made bed with a good book and podcasts to listen to. Wake up the next day feeling amaxing.

I'd have a soak in the bath, curl up with a good book, glass of wine and possibly stay up and see in the new year.

My DH works every new year. DS is old enough to stay up with me now (although he will most likely be in his room chatting to his friends on the xbox)
I watch a good Christmas film or catch up on tv I've missed over Xmas, have a couple of g&t's, usually order a takeaway then I either stay up to watch the fireworks on tv or go to bed depending how tired I am.

Long bath, glass of something nice, good music, pamper yourself. Then a movie with nice treats.... Personally I'd go to bed my usual time (10ish)... Start the year as I mean to go on

I will be after youngest goes to bed. Husband will fall asleep as usual.

Hot bath, new PJ's, nibbles, a couple of beers and a game on xbox I think and fresh bedding I'm quite looking forward to it. It's been a sucky arsed Christmas.

Similar - favourite food, nice drink, and then whatever you wouldn't get a chance to do - read in bed, long soak in the bath, film, etc.

I usually spend it alone (through choice) so I appreciate that it's not quite the same: I read a book and go to bed at my normal time - but if I am feeling particularly indulgent, I might buy a nice pudding as well.

How about doing whatever you can't do on a normal night, though, because of family/good manners/whatever? So long bath/yoga session/dancing in the sitting room to 80s music/binge watching Cash in the Attic? Plus a dinner of whatever you like but don't generally have because it's expensive/you are the only person who likes it?

Take a nice bath, find yourself a lovely series or film on Netflix to bingewatch and treat yourself to some lovely food.

Also an option: take this opportunity to think about the past decade and decide what you’d like to do differently next decade. Write down your hopes and dreams for the next 10 years to come.
You can write it as a letter to yourself and open it 31-12-2029. You can do the same for your DC (write down what you hope the next decade will bring them and they can open the letter at 31-12-2029).

@honeybee1986 I love that idea

@mrssunshinexxx

Thank you 😊.

Ooh, me too @Honeybee85. Thank you!

I spend every NYE alone as DH works and doesn't return until the next morning.

I just treat it like any other night except I call my family at midnight.

Wine, Chinese ,chocolate, good films to watch and a book

Enjoy !

Single mum here so will also be alone once DS is in bed. I'm going to have a long bath with some music on, then some nice food and prosecco with a film. Might stay up to see in the new year, might not - depends how tired I am.

That is a lovely idea Honeybee

Pot of camomile tea, clean sheets, good book or film. Asleep by 10.30 I hope. My dream evening!

Good food, a box set, or do some of my DNA/ ancestry hobby.
Play some music, read a book, nice long soak in the bath.
List my NY resolutions and things to achieve, month by month.
Just things, I'd enjoy.

Chinese takeaway, crisp white wine, good film.

Just a normal evening - supper, ironing, herbal tea, book, bed.

Long bath, pamper products, cheeseboard, fizz, The Crown on Netflix. I'd be in bed before midnight too.

PJ, prosecco, Chinese banquet, 007 film. Bloody bliss!

Sounds like heaven! Netflix, best snacks, no bra. Joy!
