We're just about to head into town for dinner with DS then hopefully get him to bed at a decent hour. Then it'll be a nice bottle of red wine, a few G&Ts and the plan is to watch a music documentary before Hootenanny. May stay up til midnight. Most likely won't!

Just cooked crispy duck and had with pancakes. Wine in a while and some lagers x

a melted cheese pot, fresh crusty bread and a bottle of wine. Will probably watch a little true crime and be in before 12!

Have just had steak with garlic butter, dauphinoise potatoes, tenderstem and asparagus with DD (20) before she heads round to a friend's house party at 8pm.

Started with a glass of Malbec, have a fancy dessert wine to go with the Christmas pud I didn't manage on the day itself and will be seeing in the new year with cava and cheese.

I'm home alone this evening which is fine...looking forward to pleasing myself with TB and food and making some plans for next year as it's my 50th in September.

Staying in, DH has been at work since 7am and due back soon, 18 month old will hopefully be sound asleep but I highly doubt I’ll make it to midnight!
Was quite looking forward to it this year as last year we were still cosleeping and breastfeeding so no wine for me! And then yesterday I had to see an emergency dentist to have my wisdom tooth out and have been advised not to drink for 2 days while it heals 😭

Sorry to add! Eating what I can managed (probably a pizza!) and watching Squid Game!

No-beef wellington, roasties and carrots to eat. Just having a cup of tea but next drink is going to be Tia Maria. No plans other than listen to the radio.

That was me, I watched it tonight! Yes it was weird but I found it oddly moving.

I’m not a horror fan so there was some scenes where I hid behind a cushion. But yes there is a deeper message there especially as I’m a woman in her 50s.

Flu caps, steroids and antibiotics washed down with a cocktail of Jaffa Rum, Mango Rum and coconut Rum topped up with orange soda. I figured if the flu hasn't killed me this might 🤣

Had a small baked cheese thing, Stracciatella topped with pesto and scooped out with bruschetta, it was delicious.

Me, dd3, ds and his partner and grandkids had a maccies, they’ve gone home now with a grumpy baby and it’s now me and dd3.

im not doing anything, not even having a drink, or food, dd14 is feeling hard done by because all her friends are with their families having parties and she’s stuck with me.

i always struggle with New Year, it’s been a tough year and I’m still traumatised from Christmas lol.

I’ve said that we can see the New Year together and watch the fireworks and then I can go to bed

Cheese and crackers
Cider
Graham Norton- because it's all that's worth watching 😁

I had breaded mushrooms with garlic mayo dip, drinking Pepsi max and watching love actually. I’m on my own so don’t really bother celebrating.
