I've never liked NYE. I have a few mental and social issues and I always feel pressure to have to do something.

I would give anything to enjoy socialising but I just don't.

What are you all up too x

Me, my latter and our kids are off to a friends house, curry's and buffet style food, fireworks and games for the kids and then party games for the adults later. We will be staying the night and the dress code for everyone is PJs :)

PinkiOcelot · 30/12/2019 23:17

Just staying in. Me and dh as dds are out.

I hate NYE. It’s always hyped up and turns out to be a disappointment, so I’d rather just stay in. I’ll be in bed before 12.

CherryPavlova · 30/12/2019 23:24

Afternoon cocktails with my daughter and her fiancés at combined stag and hen celebration at the hotel they’ve hired. Then over to other side of island for supper in a beachfront pub with live music. Our best man and his wife are over from France with us, plus another couple.
At midnight we’ll watch fireworks on the beach from our cottage terrace.

Danni12 · 30/12/2019 23:26

Staying in, have caught the flu....

avamiah · 30/12/2019 23:27

I can’t stand NYE .
I find it very depressing to be honest especially when that song comes on and about people who are no longer here .
I will be going food shopping tomorrow morning with my 9 year old then will go for a little lunch with her then back home, watch Tv, a few glasses of wine then in bed before 12 .

HostessTrolley · 30/12/2019 23:28

Pyjamas. Baileys. Cheese.

KitNCaboodle · 30/12/2019 23:29

Going to the panto as a family and then dinner together. Will come home and either crash or play board games and toast the new decade in with a gin. Either way I’m not planning on waking up with too much of a fuzzy head...

OhioOhioOhio · 30/12/2019 23:29

Nothing. Relieved to be old enough to not give a shit.

SouthWestmom · 30/12/2019 23:31

Nothing. Hooray! First year of no parties no people just me, dh, two youngest and some rubbish tv.

chocolatesaltyballs22 · 30/12/2019 23:31

Early evening drinks in the pub with my husband. Then when DD(16) finishes her shift at 8 we're home for pizzas, snacks and champagne. Will probably stand on the patio in our PJ's watching the fireworks at midnight.

Ponoka7 · 30/12/2019 23:31

I'm babysitting and will probably be asleep when midnight strikes.

I'll wake up when my youngest DD, who lives with me gets in from work and I'll cook something for her and we'll have a drink.

Cryingoverspilttea · 30/12/2019 23:32

@CherryPavlova where do you live?? 😳

Peacenquiet2 · 30/12/2019 23:34

No plans, but definitely won't be out partying. In all likelihood Ile sit at home drinking wine and eating snacks with dp whilst dc play on ps like previous years. Not been out for years, find it pretentious and over rated, not to mention the expense. The dc however do like to watch other people's fireworks from the garden at midnight.

Mammawilson · 30/12/2019 23:34

Working (children's home) i always offer to do the new years eve shift, love it

Icecreambaby · 30/12/2019 23:34

Staying at home. Make a nice dinner then open a bottle of bubbles, have some cheese and enjoy a quiet night with DH before countdown.

Lololololola · 30/12/2019 23:34

Cinema, pub, home, telly, food, jools, bed.

GirlDownUnder · 30/12/2019 23:37

On the beach, swim early then wine, nibbles, massive blanket and rugs (it’s only going to be 16 degrees tonight!), watch the fireworks on the jetty at 930pm then again at midnight.
Walk home Xmas Smile

We used to stay in when we lived in the UK, but now it’s free, warm(ish), and walking distance we always go out.

meow1989 · 30/12/2019 23:38

Put ds to bed, sit on sofa with DH and try to make it to midnight to see fireworks. I've never seen the appeal of new year to be honest.

ButterflyBook · 30/12/2019 23:38

Nothing out of the ordinary. Probably a curry if we feel like it. I'm not teetotal but I rarely drink NYE. I like to have a clear head when everyone is nursing a hangover on Jan 1st. I know that's annoying.

Okbutno · 30/12/2019 23:38

I'm not fussed on staying up. So we are going to a gallery during the day. Then having a late lunch. We'll then stay in with a some nice drinks and snacks. Probs go to bed before 12. No children in our 30s.

SwingingBy · 30/12/2019 23:38

We always throw a party once the pub closes. 🥂🍻🎉

Okbutno · 30/12/2019 23:40

We used to watch jools then found out it wasn't live so it spoiled it for us. (yes I should have known)

Drum2018 · 30/12/2019 23:41

I'll be staying in as I have for past few years. We usually watch Jools Holland. First year Ds will be out for NY so I could be getting a call to collect him at all hours if he misses the bus.

HarrietSchulenberg · 30/12/2019 23:42

Going up a hill with my besty and my 12yo ds. New tradition, now most of our kids are out having parties of their own. 12yo is not happy at this arrangement but we'll make sure we find a good hill where we can see the whole county's fireworks, and he can have the best torch.

Dazedandconfused10 · 30/12/2019 23:42

Me, my cats, telly and some drinks. Sigh.
