To start a thread for those of us spending NY alone?

[nyeno]

Bit gutted but trying to remain positive.

DS has gone to bed and DP has gone out, we are starting the New Year on an ongoing argument and a rocky relationship.

My first new year where I'll be on my own (apart from sleeping DS) at midnight.

I'm alone, with Netflix and a big glass of water (rarely drink!). Have finished the Christmas chocolates.

I'm ending 2018 with continuing issues from a horrible divorce over 2 years ago, and a failing long-distance relationship. I'll be ending that completely soon Actually feel really quite low about it all - will be in bed quite soon, I think.

to everyone spending NYE on their own

I was on a similar thread last year and this year different and better

Onwards and upwards 2019 can be your year

I am alone but happy. Watching Endeavour and doing a Footner...

@BatshitCrazyWoman big hugs to you

DH is working the night shift at our local hospital tonight so just me and DS (14).
He wants to stay up to see the fireworks so it's going to be a long night

I’m alone—my husband is working night shift. But I’m actually fine with it. Just me and the dogs and cats. I’m not really fussed about new year celebrations anyway. I’m only hoping that there aren’t too many fireworks. They freak my eldest dog out a little 🙁

Fireworks are being set off in the garden beside ours which has woke DS up and he won't go back to sleep. Going to be a long night 😂

Another one who is alone here but I'm going to bed soon with a new book, wine and phone switched off.

Looking forward to tomorrow when I'll be borrowing my friends dog and taking him on a long walk. I'm feeling positive about 2019, I've got a date lined up and waiting on a start date for a new (better) job

DH is ill and in bed and both kids are asleep. Just me and the dog up eating party food, party on! Not what we had planned but hey ho. Happy New Year all

I did spend NYE on my own and by choice. Felt I was not good company as rather down since DH died, and have never liked the loooong run-up to midnight. I wasn't gloomy, just preferred my own company so turned down the kind invites.

I finished reading my book club book, curled up with wine, pasta with pesto made from my own garden and watched "The Cabin in the Woods".

This morning I put up my new calendar, walked the dog, and am going to the Botanic Gardens, lunch on the beach, literally - taking sandwiches and a sun tent, start a new book. I might go to the sales on the seemingly -impossible quest to find a fleecy dressing gown for DD, one that is not pastel/sweeping the floor. So...comfort and a challenge.

Happy New Year from Australia.

Thank you @nyeno

I live in London and surprisingly no fireworks yet ...

I'm here...DH is at work..kids. In bed. Me and DH aren't talking anyway..so..fun times eh?
Happy new every one.

Everyones had to go to work, so I'm holding the Baileysfort
Happy New Year!

Yep. Kids are doing there stuff in their respective rooms and dh is poorly so has taken himself off to bed although he was the same last year too. Feeling fed up really.

Home alone(live alone) but quite happy and relaxed about it all.
Major health problems has kept me out of the social scene for a long time.
I have watched some really great movies today and had myself a lovely glass of Guinness earlier this evening and now come onto MN to have a catch up.....so cheers everyone and hope 2019 brings good things for everyone

“But, I feel incredibly sad that out of everyone I know (family and friends), no one would rather spend NYE with me than anyone else”

I know how you feel.

Well, I've dismissed the fact that I'm utterly skint throughout Jan and ordered myself an Indian to cheer myself up!!!

Oh @Bonkerz, thinking of you. Things will get better in time xxx (yes no I'm on MN!)

I’m alone with my cat. She’s snoozing in her favourite chair. I’ve just had some chocolate and I’m drinking water. I’ve been in taxi duty for a gaggle of giggling teens. I have a further taxi service to provide later tonight. It’s just another night for me. Happy new year folks.

Wishing you all, all the very best.

Just remember it is only a change of calendar, that's all. The rest of it is manufactured and forced jollity! Same thing every year for five minutes at midnight. Boring (well to me anyway).

Just me and him here tonight. Just scoffed a takeaway and he's watching some crap on TV, I am in the same room, but downwind ha ha, binge watching "one born every minute".

Perfect. Tomorrow who cares what you did.

I'm enjoying spending it alone. I've been surrounded by people all Xmas and today at work.

Know obvs

I'm alone, DD9 and DD7 are in bed, BF was supposed to be coming over but seems he's decided to not bother, he'll be in the pub I suspect. Not been a great relationship and this has just topped it off. I'm thinking I'll be seeing the new year in single again, kinda sad about it but it'll be better in the long run.

I’m alone too, friends are all with DPs and family all doing things with their respective partners. I have a DP but he’s spending it with a friend who has been through a rough time with his mental health for a boys type night at the friend’s house.

Feel a bit down as it’s my first by myself but lovely to be in your company ❤️

Well, I've dismissed the fact that I'm utterly skint throughout Jan and ordered myself an Indian to cheer myself up!!!

I hope he doesn't disappoint. 😉
