To not have been able to restrain myself from saying 'see you next year' to everybody I spoke to today?

It's cheesy. It's cringey. It's naffola.

Should I just buy myself some cartoon socks and 'statement' glasses and be done with it?

Well I have said it to all 3 of my DCs ( grown up ) and my MIL and will no doubt say it to DH when we go to sleep. < budges Morris along and joins her on saddo's couch >

I've said it loads too Grin

I make myself laugh all the time though

YANBU I've done it all day too plus every year for the last... well, years and years. My friends and family avoid me on NYE now. Tomorrow I will spend all day saying things like 'it's the first time I've eaten/washed/spoken to you all year'. I'm sorry, I know I'm the world's biggest pain but I just cannot help it. Blush

I've just avoided talking to anyone. Grin

I usually trot out my Grandad's joke "If you go outside today you'll see a man with as many noses as there are days in the year," but no-one ever got it and I'd have to explain it and then they'd give a false laugh and I'd wish I'd never bothered. Hmm

A guid New Year to yin and a', anyway. Grin

I said it to 2 year old DD when I tucked her into bed tonight.

Luckily, we're spending tonight at home so I won't be embarrassing myself in front of anyone else :)

It never gets old, that one Grin

TheFirstMrsGClooney · 31/12/2011 21:45

YANBU at all. I have been following it up with a "Happy New Year when it comes", equally cringey and over-used. But 'tis the season... Suck it up! Grin

TarquinGyrfalcon · 31/12/2011 21:50

I've said it as well.

This morning I said 'we won't be having a shag again until next year' to DH Blush

RecursiveMoon · 31/12/2011 21:51

Grin He replied 'you never know' - seeing as he is currently snoring on the settee I think I was right

YY Tarquin, only appliqued matrons in here please. No oversexed lovebirds I beg of you.

Am more oversized than oversexed - I shall put on my appliqué jumper and behave

I've just remembered that I phoned my friend Eve today so I could say 'Happy New Year's Eve Eve' cos I'm sure she never tires of the joke
