To still be in bed on New Year’s Day

60 replies

Dongdingdong · 01/01/2019 13:09

It’s just gone 1pm and I’m still in bed with a mild hangover. So much for all my plans to spend 1st January decluttering the house and driving to the garden centre to get some much-needed stuff for my house plants. I’m feeling a bit guilty to have gotten 2019 off to such a lazy and unproductive start. What is everyone else up to today?

I wouldn't worry about it!

I didn't have a hangover but had a slow start this morning as we had a hectic day and a late night - probably should have done more than I did but meh, it's holidays, who cares.

Happy New Year!

I've just got up.

LittleKitty1985 · 01/01/2019 13:58

I'm still in bed. DH is still asleep next to me. I'm 7 months pregnant so we're trying to enjoy every opportunity for lie-ins and laziness while we still can!

19lottie82 · 01/01/2019 13:58

Well I stayed in last night but I’m off to the pub at 4 to meet my friends, eat some fish and chips and drink champagne / gin! Happy new year!

thebaronetofcockburn · 01/01/2019 13:59

I got up at half noon but I've got a horrid virus and was up most of the night coughing, woke because was bunged up and/or shivering or sweating. Didn't drink a drop of alcohol.

ShannonRockallMalin · 01/01/2019 13:59

Got up at 8am to feed/let out various animals, had a coffee then went back to sleep on the sofa! I don’t drink so not hungover but damned if I’m doing anything useful while the rest of the house lazes about!

We got up at 12 and went to TGI Friday’s and ate loads of junk then came home and went back to bed! Perfect NYD

That sounds wonderful Autumn Envy I don’t think I’ve got the energy to go out to a restaurant though - plus one of my new year’s resolutions was to stop wasting money on Deliveroo and Ubereats - damn it! I will attempt to get up soon and am planning to make a corned beef hash for early dinner. I’m also craving a chocolate Nesquik for some reason. I think I’m perhaps more hungover than I realised...

I got up at half 12. The kids are usually set to 6.30am on a good day but they're away on holiday with the grandparents (cabin in the forest for the New Year period dealie - lots of playgrounds on site for them to run semi-feral in) so I'm bloody well taking advantage! Only got up as next door decided to start noisily clearing up their can and bottle collection from last night into the bins in the garden.

donajimena · 01/01/2019 14:06

No hangover here. I've been to work but now that's done it'll be bath and pyjamas.

Oddcat · 01/01/2019 14:10

Still in bed here , got up to make coffee and grab some french bread , back in bed now covered in bread crumbs.

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 01/01/2019 14:11

We stayed in bed until 1, although the cat did have me up earlier. DP did a cooked breakfast, and now I am watching The Railway Children in my pyjamas. Bath and fresh pjs later, no leaving the house today.

WhoTookTheChristmasCookie · 01/01/2019 14:12

I wish I was still in bed Sad
I had to drag myself up at 9 with a raging hangover - now trying to be a responsible adult... it's not going well.

Roomba · 01/01/2019 14:16

I'm watching Mr Robot in bed and have been since 10am. No intention of getting up any time soon. Had my children sleeping in with me for a week over Xmas and last night they went to stay at their Dad's for a few days. I'm making the most of it! No more snoring, having Kevin the Carrot shoved up my nose every time DS2 rolled over and being woken at 6am by hungry kids, hurrah!

ThatWouldBeNO · 01/01/2019 14:19

I was all set for a sleep in, but my neighbour decided to power wash their retaining wall and driveway at 7:30am. Not a wonderful start to the year!

BlueBinDay · 01/01/2019 14:25

Is it morning?

Toptheginup · 01/01/2019 14:36

Still in bed, never had a hangover like this for a while.
Wrestling with major anxiety and doom. Sad

flameycakes · 01/01/2019 14:42

I didn't get in till 5 this morning, slept most of day, gone cold turkey from nicotine, (it was the plan), no cravings yet but a tad agitated, stayed in bed apart from getting up to do dishes, put a load of washing in and making a stew for this evening x

rainbowstardrops · 01/01/2019 14:42

You're joking @ThatWouldBeNOShock

I fell asleep at 11.45pm last night and woke up at 12.15 am, so missed the whole new year shabang - sorry kids.

DS came into my room at 6am (I was awake) and said he hadn't been able to sleep all night. He's back from university at the mo and his sleep pattern is seriously fuc*ed.
He made me a coffee and went downstairs and has literally just moved from the sofa ...... I don't mind though because he goes back on Sunday and I'm going to miss him and his mess like mad.
DD still in pjs watching YouTube videos on her phone.

I've taken the decorations down/trees gone to recycling and given downstairs a good hoover and dust.
I've poured myself a glass of wine because I bloody deserve it while I have a sit down!

rainbowstardrops · 01/01/2019 14:44

Not entirely sure why half my post is in bold Confused
It's not the glass of wine, honest!

rainbowstardrops · 01/01/2019 14:46

fuced???
That was supposed to be fuc*ed.

I give up Confused

DaffydownClock · 01/01/2019 14:48

Been awake since 04.10, no idea why (definitely wasn't celebrating last night). Have very sore throat and can't get warm 😷. DH away, feeling rough.
Dog sitting and wishing friend would hurry up and collect pooch so I can have a hot bath and go back to bed; she said they'd be back by early afternoon.....

I’m not sure what you’re looking at rainbow, but at this end, half of your post is not in bold and it does say fuc*ed, not fuced!

Still not up at this end - I could murder a coffee and juice but just can’t muster the energy! Hangovers are so bloody awful...

Very late night but not particularly drunk. Surprised myself by getting up about 9.30. Been surprisingly productive: tree down, fridge cleared, cheese finished, laundry done. Planning on spending the rest of the day on the sofa with a book and a chocolate orange.

WendyCope · 01/01/2019 15:00

Definitely bad luck to wash or clean anything on NYD. Washes your luck away!

So, me and DD are clean and fresh from yesterday's ablutions, lovely beef and veg stew in the oven. Both got up at midday. Drinking cava (me). Late lunch with crackers! Grin Last year was awful and I'm hoping for a better one this year.

Dry Jan starts tomorrow only!

That sounds lovely Wendy - can I come over to your house please? Grin
