To ask what are your NYE plans.

[tired456]

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

Round to friends house with the kids. Booze, karaoke, food, games and lots of laughs. Can't wait!

As dd was away at her df's house last week tonight is our Xmas eve so it will be Xmas movie, putting stockings out and prepping for Xmas dinner.

It’s evening where I am. We’ve just had some friends over for an early drink / cheese. They’ve gone off to a party and we are at home with the kids for an early night. I’d much rather see the first sunrise so we’ve loaded up our boat and will be up ant out between 5-6am for an early fish then a day swimming and biscuiting out on an offshore island somewhere. Hoping for dolphins or orca. Heaven.

I'm away in an air bnb witth friends. We will prob have some kind of party tonight but I expect to be in bed shortly after midnight

Fuck all, as usual

I would love to stay in, every year we get dragged out and feel obliged to “enjoy” ourselves. The Christmas fortnight is just a never ending round of expense, eating, drinking and doing so whilst entertaining family and friends and working full time. I’m fucked.

Roll on the depressing days of January.

It's just me and ds (15). We have a tradition of eating a lot of cheese and watching Miss Marple. We're in NZ, so we're already well underway with the food. Possibly too much cheese for two people...

Working till 5pm. Dp, myself an DS are going to the illuminated trail at Blenheim Palace from 7pm. I expect we'll be home 10:30ish. Just got to get through work first....:(

Early dinner at a posh place, couple of pints, home to drink and play games and listen to music and fall asleep at about 12.15.

I’m doing nothing. I’m at work til 2pm today, Dh is going to a friend’s house as they’re having a party, I don’t want to go so I’m staying in with the dc. I will be downloading a new book on my kindle so once the youngest is in bed I can sit and read in my pjs with a cup of tea while the older ones watch whatever they want on the tv. I will probably be in bed asleep before 12.

I put on a small buffet. Dd has a friend coming over so we might all play Cards Against Humanity and chill a bit.

Fireworks planted in spare veg bed - dozing now and will be setting them off at midnight with bubbles. Just us, although I think DS1 has invited a friend over as well.

@Tinofcurses looks good-you can never have too much cheese 🤤

I’m working 11am-2pm. Then a good walk with husband, still in the ‘awe’ stage of my new Fitbit ha! Then maybe one or two in pub to tie off the bad living of the last 6 weeks then home to Christmas lights, the fire, lovely food and relaxing. Not a New Years person really so I don’t care when I’m asleep!

working 11 hour shift
then perhaps Jools Holland or perhaps pub but i get post pub anxiety and dont go more than a handful of times a year.

first sunrise? now that is a Smashing idea

DH is cooking me a meal we'll also have a few drinks then we will then just relax and look after the dog when the fireworks start.

In bed for 8pm and sleep through it. Maybe waken if some “lovely” neighbours let off fireworks

Dinner with my parents and DDs. It'll be early though. About 6!
Then bed at about 9. Perfect 🙂

At home, on my own. Probably gonna get a few drinks in and do some drunken gaming, just to make it different to every other night of the year...

at my parents. will have a family meal then by 7pm will be tucked up in bed with my toddler.
I hate new years eve

Dh and dd1 are off to his sisters. I'm staying home with dd2 who is much younger and couldn't stay up till midnight if she tried. I've had a flare up of vestibular nuerotitis and my ears are really painful and all I can hear is the wooshing of my own heartbeat. As a result, I'm grumpy (though trying not to be). SILs house will be noisy and I will feel obligated to drive so dh can drink. They will have take away and I really feel like I'm done with crap food. I can't be arsed. I'm not a fan of spending it with dhs family as the fun is absolutely forced and I always tend to end up looking after the kids. So, I'm not doing it. They will have a much nicer time without me. Going to download a book to my kindle and be boring. Dh can enjoy his night without me being a misery in the corner.

stay at home - cat doesn't like fireworks - her ears seem to qet twice as large, and her eyes are like saucers.
If there aren't many close by, I may pop up to the roof garden and watch further away fireworks.

Dinner at home and I would say in bed by 9pm, but DS is working till 10pm so I will wait up till he comes home, exciting I know!

We have a puppy so will be staying in. Dc both out so we will get a take away curry, put some tunes on and play cards. Then wait for DS to "come in quietly without disturbing the dog" which he won't.

My son will be at his dads tonight and tomorrow night so I'm going out. I've not been out on NYE in years and the last 7 or so NYE I've either been ill or spent it arguing with the person I was with. (Last NYE I was pregnant so spent it both ill and arguing!)

I've had a pretty shit Christmas and I think I'm coming down with something but I need to shake off the cobwebs and I think having an incredibly carefree night where I can have an old school hangover tomorrow is just what I need. (In reality I want to go to bed and sleep for 3 days but my friends are under strict instructions not to let me bail)
