What’s Everyone Up To For NYE?

As usual the week since Christmas has flown by & here we are again on the last day of the year. Is anyone doing much? For the last few years we have stayed at home, especially since having the bunnies as we need to bring them indoors because of the fireworks. DH & I are having sirloin steaks, chips, peas, breaded garlic mushrooms & ( for me) peppercorn sauce & I’m going to buy champagne from Aldi. DD14 hasn’t decided what she wants to eat yet. Probably McDonald’s. We’ll watch a film then Big Ben at midnight & the fireworks. Used to watch Love Actually but it’s a Christmas movie so we watch it on Christmas Eve or a couple of days after. Used to have big parties when I lived with my parents & we’d inherited a grand piano so ended up round that. Or I’d go clubbing & crawl in starving at 2am. I remember cooking loads of chicken nuggets & dipping them in guacamole - taste sensation!
Whatever you’re doing, Happy New Year!!

Ive just had my chinese. They gave me a free bottle of Prosecco with it as i spent over £30. But a girl I knew was there with her 11 yr old ordering a couple of chow meins. Shes a single mum and i felt for her so i gave her my bottle as im not really a drinker.

i thought she was gonna cry on me!

DH and older kids are heading off to a neighbour's party - that we were all supposed to be going to.

Youngest DC and I are staying at home because he's ill with covid. He's perked up enough in the last hour to be on his PC gaming with his mates so I'm having a glass of wine and wondering what to do with myself!

Happy new year everyone x

We had a fish and chip tea from the chippy

Kids have gone upstairs to play on various games consoles with snacks I suspect they will go to bed soon

Now snuggled up on the sofa with my husband and a glass of Prosecco which tastes awful

We’ve all been poorly over Christmas and I’ve had to cancel our new years plans so far it’s been a quite one!

I don’t care much for new year so I offered to havE my 4 year old granddaughter for the night. We are currently in bed watching Bluey. I’m hoping she’ll be asleep soon so I can enjoy a cuppa before I go to sleep too.

NYE 1983 2320 our daughter was born. Every NYE after that we stayed in and had a little party with her and Dd did the coal thing which she loved. She got to 16 and met her to be DH and buggered off NYE. We never got back into the habit of going out again really.
We blame her.

Potato28 · 31/12/2022 23:17

Watching Graham Norton!
Sad i haven't got any chocolate 😂

Xtraincome · 31/12/2022 23:23

Playing Codenames Duet with DH, drinking Prosecco and watching the news. We never go to parties etc as neither of us are interested in it.

Just seen another thread on OP asking about winter sun destinations and it got us thinking about spending NYE in continental Europe- we would definitely celebrate then!

MingeofDeath · 31/12/2022 23:30

I'm at work until 0700.

JadeSeahorse · 31/12/2022 23:54

We are in bed with DH sleeping blissfully beside me.

We had a wonderful roast lamb dinner earlier - just the two of us - along with a couple of bottles of decent red wine. Watched a couple of episodes of Walking Dead and Law and Order SVU then went to bed just before 1100pm.

I'm now just on my phone waiting for midnight before going to sleep.

Happy New Year everyone!

I paused it after the fireworks to phone my mum. So am just seeing the follow-up now.

She looks great and had forgotten about this track, loved it when she did it with BA and her and Sam sound great too.
