Anyone not acknowledging this new years eve at all?

[ImFree2doasiwant]

Single, 2 small DC. Lots of friends having family zoom quizzes, laying out nice buffets etc. I'm getting the dc in bed then reading my book in my pjs.

Anyone else? All seems a bit pointless!

Single parent with toddler here. We’ve had McDonalds for a treat, sofa cuddles then bath and bed. Literally couldn’t care less. Tomorrow will be the same as today so feel no desire to celebrate
Happy/Safe New Year

we would normally have been at the pub we go to with our friends but as we cant i will probably have one drink and like you go to bed early then get woken up when the ruddy fireworks go off at midnight

Me. Two small DC, husband working. Tried making a fun party tea. Uneaten. Waste of time. Considered sitting up but I'll still have to get up with DS at the crack of bloody dawn to the same shite, different year.

Sounds nice and peaceful.

I'm definitely watching at midnight on the tele because I love seeing the countdown and fireworks around the world, but that's it. Tea, toast and chocolate!

DH and I probably won't bother. DS (2 months) was up half the night last night and DD (2 years) gets up at 6.30 a.m. We're both exhausted so I think we'll be in bed long before midnight.

I wasn't going to as we normally don't but DD has been quite down so we've spent the day cooking lovely food and we are both getting our fancy frocks on and having a party to say thank fuck 2020 is over.
Not that I think we are out of the woods yet but she needs a little lightness and frivolity.

Never see the fuss about new years eve, rarely make it up past midnight. This year has been so rubbish I am just glad to see the back of it. Will however be trying to finish all the alcohol and chocolate in the house so I can start January with good intentions 😂

Having drinks and dinner. If things looked brighter we would be celebrating. But the future looks bloody dire.

No fuss here, kids in bed will eat tea then probs go to bed as well!

May go mad and pop a sleeping pill to sleep through all the fireworks m

I’m going to drink all the booze and have a dry January.
My DD often gets up at2/3/4 am so that’s on the cards too

I will be in bed before 12 but no doubt awake up at 3 thanks to my son 😂

This ....

I don't celebrate the calender new year at all.
Normal food, shower, early night.

Well I did my tax return. I think that’s about as exciting as today is going to get.

Glad it's not just me. I do feel a proper misery though. I just can't be arsed.

Just a normal night here for me and the baby. My DP is working and I'm hoping my arsehole of a neighbour doesn't make my night hell.
I don't usually do much for new year anyway.

We got some fireworks in but there was a massive storm this morning and it’s still raining, so most likely won’t do anything much.

Buffet dinner and then I usually go to bed about 12ish anyway so will likely stay up. DH was up for work at 4:30am so will likely be in bed, so it'll be just me and the dog.

DC 7 & 9 will stay up until about 10 ish.

I’m not doing anything any different this year, staying in with my mum, might make midnight but not bothered if I don’t
New year brings the worst out in me, I get maudlin and reflective so not bothered about making a fuss on a normal year let alone this odd one!
I used to love it, trips into London every year with a gang of mates. Great fun at the time.
Don’t feel like you are missing out, just do what makes you happy with your little family ❤️

Same as last year for us (me, dp, ds7 and ds1).

Just had curry, now watching a film and probably be in bed by 10.

Single here too, my DM was supposed to be coming but my eldest has been ill on and off all day and youngest has lost his sense of taste and smell so spent part of today booking a test for us.
I’m on furlough (again) and can’t see anything worth staying up for.
I feel like a right party pooper though.

My friend just died. It doesn't seem right to celebrate anything so I'm off to bed.

I'm not doing anything because my bf would rather celebrate with his mates than with me. I'm not bitter

(No one in his village social-distances)

I am so sorry for your loss madcatforever.

I am curling up in bed with youtube. Learned over Christmas how little I matter to my family so really can not be bothered to but on New Year act that I am happy.

Just me and DP - we're chilling out and will order a takeaway later and watch TV - nothing special, can't be bothered. Feeling very pessimistic today and thinking whilst I can't wait to see the back of 2020, 2021 is looking pretty shit too.
