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

Currently soundproofing the downstairs shower room in an attempt to keep DDog calm when midnight strikes and the fireworks undoubtably kick off. Massive sheets of polystyrene, hope he appreciates it.
Seems I’m not the only one with a terrified pet

OH is working late shift so won't be home until 1am. Me and 2 DDs are going to a friends house this afternoon for buffet tea/bit of a party with all our kids. Then home, put kids to bed. Order a curry and sit in front of the tv with a few glasses of wine. Will attempt to stay awake til midnight to watch the fireworks on tv but I'll fall asleep and OH will give me a nudge and send me up to bed when he gets in!

Dd is 17 today so we are going shopping in the Trafford centre for the afternoon then out for a meal. She's chosen Nando's for some reason

Best of luck to you and your baby son Bumpy . Not the sort of NYE anyone would hope for.

DH and I are going to the cinema together this afternoon then home for dinner a deux. Both the teens are out at separate parties ... I'm not expecting an entirely peaceful night .

I’ve never had a fun NYE. My parents were sulkers and treated us as much younger than we are to the extent that even coming home from uni/as a young adult it just wasn’t worth the pain of making a stand to go out as the repercussions were disproportionate.

Add in the expense and I find even now it’s a total none event for me.

Some of these plans sound lovely. But I’d have to suggest and arrange it all myself and my brain is so tired and bored of always being the driving force that is rather go to bed.

Oh bumpy. I hope you’re soon all back together.

We are doing ourselves a little buffet and will spend the evening watching a classic movie or two and sipping champagne.

Sorry bumpysleighridejack I feel bad about complaining now. I hadn’t read your post when I posted. All good wishes to you!

Me, my two best friends and a take away.

@arrowfanatic I now want to go to a pub for lunch and play pool after.

I also love dancing like a previous poster, and never do, I am going to make that a NYR.

I am still in bed on day 5 of a rotten cold. Feel like shit but mornings and evenings are the worst so I will rally in a bit and take the dogs out.

Going to two sets of friends to party tonight which I really don't feel like doing, and think I should drive but that will make staying awake even harder so will probably drink too much, eat nothing, and add a hangover to how I feel tomorrow morning.

I never learn.

We will be celebrating with a group of 12 friends, we first got together for the millennium celebrations so this will be our 20th NYE together, although the numbers have varied a bit over the years. We started with toddlers, who are now all grown up and doing their own thing. This year we are hosting, so we will have dinner and wine and fizz at midnight. No fireworks as we are in the middle of nowhere. We all contribute to the cooking so not too much work for any of us. Although I maybe should go and do some cleaning...

Nowt. DD has been ill and we've had to ditch our plans involving a night away with a group of friends.

I sort of don't mind

Both me and my DP will be working a night shift in custody 😱

Thankfully we have a baby now so we have a great excuse to not do ANYTHING. Baby to bed, takeaway, film, bed before 10, maybe a cheeky roll in the hay and then we’ll wake up tomorrow to a brand new year! Whoop lol

For the first time in a few years our adult DCs will be back here.We plan to send out for some takeout food,have a glass of wine,wish everyone a happy new year at the bells then watch the fireworks from the street party in town from the comfort of our bedroom window.Will send out happy new year messages to friends on WhatsApp then probably be in bed by 12.30am.

Staying in playing Monopoly ! No one is really drinking much so it will quiet, watch the fireworks on TV.
I will be glad when the festive season is over, and I can pack away the decorations and things return to normal.

Same as most nights....relaxing bath, read or watch tv and go to bed.
I have nights out and celebrations when I feel like them, not based on what date is on the calendar.

If we manage to stay up (big IF!) we will take a bottle of bubbly out to the fields and watch the fireworks with the horses - far enough away not to freak them out so it's a magical experience.

Dh and I are going to a small hotel in a beautiful part of the country....8 mile walk today and another one planned tomorrow. Good dinner tonight...doubt we will be awake at midnight

Wow greenkit you’ll need a lie in tomorrow!!

We're in the canaries, it's lovely & warm, going to play mini golf and do some shopping then going out for an Italian followed by drinks in a lovely bar overlooking the square and fireworks at 12 😊

Bubbles, cheese, film, tut at fireworks while secretly enjoying them, bed.
Politely turned down 3 parties, find them dull and overwrought on NYE, hosts don’t mind, they know I prefer Cosy.

Bugger all, just the way I like it.
Which in reality means curled up in pjs on the couch, watching films with the DH and dogs, as I plough through ungodly amounts of cheese. Might be a minor amount of alcohol involved, but I doubt it.

Having some snacks /drinks with our family /friends .Watching Jools with a glass of something nice .Off to bed about 12.30/1.30 Whenever we fall asleep LOL!

This is our first NYE out in 10 yrs since our first DC was born!

Local friends are having a gathering with kids invited too so looking forward to seeing the new year in with a few glasses of bubbly.

This is how the new year celebrations of my childhood happened. Neighbours of my parents getting squiffy while the kids ran about upstairs high on sugar. Then we'd all fall asleep and be carried home in our sleeping bags. Happy memories.
