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 in!

I have a Dominos pizza and pink Gin with lemonade Grin only having the one though as I don’t want a sore head in the morning! Plus I plan on taking DD5 out tomorrow!

elephantoverthehill · 31/12/2019 20:32

I've had baked camembert. It was good, watching Julie Walters atm.

ALifeMoreCurious · 31/12/2019 20:35

@sockittome123 amazing what you can find if you look hard enough OP Grin

notthemum · 31/12/2019 20:38

AloneLonelyLoner · 31/12/2019 20:42

Just to bring it all down to Earth...

Anyone going for a run first thing?

😉

MyGhastIsFlabbered · 31/12/2019 20:42

I'm here. Sozzled

MyGhastIsFlabbered · 31/12/2019 20:47

DP is doing a double park run tomorrow morning. I'm timekeeping at Parkrun 2 then restarting C25k after having to take 6 months off with a broken foot.

But for now I'm drinking wine, watching crap videos on Magic FM and avoiding thinking about tomorrow.

ALifeMoreCurious · 31/12/2019 20:47

@AloneLonelyLoner no but hats off to you! I’m planning a strength training session and starting a 30 day yoga challenge but may just lie on my mat...

Rosie2000 · 31/12/2019 20:49

I can offer a multitude of chocolates, nuts and crisps- on my own as kids with their dad. Feeling sorry for myself but you lot have cheered me up! Going to crack open a puzzle whilst watching Julie Walters Xmas Grin

AloneLonelyLoner · 31/12/2019 20:49

Gosh darn it. Now I've said it i feel like I have to.

Hmmmm

I've gained a stone in 2019. No more excuses.

Anyway this is a party sorry for being a killjoy!

Pass me some nuts!

@AloneLonelyLoner you’re not alone in that. I have a bit to shift too so signed up to the new Joe Wicks plan! But enjoying my cheesy wine while I can Wink

ispyachocolatepie · 31/12/2019 20:56

Curry on the way, kids in bed, pjs on... all sounds lovely except DH is doing my head in so we're not really talking... anyone else got a moody partner hanging about or just me?!

monstermunchforlunch · 31/12/2019 21:00

I’ve got white wine and copious amounts of sushi and freezer party food! DH is working all night so the DC are watching a film whilst I sporadically throw chocolates at them to keep them going until midnight Grin honestly wouldn’t rather be anywhere else which is amazing really as at the start of the year I was ready to jack it all in.

lilmishap · 31/12/2019 21:05

I have wine
prosecco
A child chattering on about Herebride, redstone pistons and some other minecraft shit I don't understand while a slightly younger child repeats the last 3 words ad infinitum from every sentence his brother speaks.

I said my kids could stay up as long as they were able and they called my bluff, they're on their 3rd wind now.

Whose party is this so I can borrow the guests for just long enough to fuck off to the lav and have a little cry while you lot watch them for me, I promise I'll be back in...TAXI.

GenuineKlatchianPottery · 31/12/2019 21:10

Sneaks in and puts Lidl’s Prosecco and Baileys on table, along with chocolate orange and tin of Quality Street.
Goes and sits unobserved in corner with cat. Who is actually more sociable than she is.

ladybee28 · 31/12/2019 21:18

@babasaclover I'm in the Canaries – don't wait to book, come now and put your feet up with me!

DP is working so I'm joining in with a bottle of whisky, some sliced Salsiccia and the dog.

I just cooked up a banging curry if anyone wants a bite? Someone ordered dominoes to my house by mistake and now that’s tempted me.
Currently waiting for dp to get home from work so I can crack open the booze whilst dd is asleep 🍾

Pascha · 31/12/2019 21:24

Hello can I join please? I can offer most of a box of ayer eights, some Cloudy Bay fizz, Drambuie and olives. Sorry, the pringles are all gone now.

Waxonwaxoff0 · 31/12/2019 21:33

DS is asleep! I'm lying in bed with a large glass of Baileys.

Not sure if I'll make it to midnight, I'm gonna try though!

nofriendsatll · 31/12/2019 21:37

I'm here too. Dressing gown on. Red wine poured. Labrador at the side of me asleep. Just had to turn off Dame Edna so searching for something until Graham Norton comes on.

Not really what I wanted to do tonight. Husband not the most sociable person...
