I don't know how many years this has been going, but we can't break the tradition now!

I can offer:
endless bottles of Shloer (half price at Tesco)
leftover macaroni cheese
a ton of Heroes/Celebrations
a billion chocolate coins

There will be a table of nut-free products for anyone who's allergic like me.

Let the party commence!

I'm here! On my todd with some vino (most unlike me, normally beer all the way!)

BatleyTownswomensGuild · 31/12/2019 18:19

I can bring a truckload of Doritos and some mint Matchmakers...

I also know most of the words to Auld Lang Syne and can convincingly lip sync the other bits....

@GlowWine thank you for sharing that little nugget of social history, how funny and nice! I followed the link to the Guardian article but unfortunately the YouTube video was blocked.

I have some Oyster Bay savignon blanc to share as it was on special in Coop! 😂

Also have abusive twat ex DP here as he's been made unexpectedly homeless but am just going to ignore him and get pissed in the bedroom.

🥂 Here's to a twat-free 2020!

Glad there is a thread! This is my first NYE on my own so feeling sorry for myself.

I haven’t got any interesting snack to add. We’ve been running down the stock of snacks ahead of a January health kick.

Currently waiting for James Bond to start on ITV

ScreamingValalalalahLalalalah · 31/12/2019 19:44

Please may I join you? I have sausage rolls, duck spring rolls, macaroons, Pringles and a box of Abbot Ale.

I'm at my parents house, we're watching TV and drinking tea.

I can offer some biscuits if anyone wants any? Caramel ones.

WooYa · 31/12/2019 19:45

Can I come? I've got celebrations, Prosecco and wine! Oh and dairy-free chocolate if anyone wants some? It's not mine but DS is asleep so he won't mind
