To ask if anyone else has FOMO?!

[fomocrew]

I'm working tonight (support worker) but I must say I'm starting to get really bad FOMO seeing everyone get dressed up and going out. Anyone else in the same boat?! Let's share our boring NYE stories to give each-other some comfort 🤣

Also... so glad I won't be hanging tomorrow!

Nice middle ground for me- at home, few family coming over for drinks and games. Would not want to be out, but want to celebrate in some way!

Spending my evening lying with the 2 year old trying to get her to sleep as the dogs bark and wake her up everytime a firework goes off, then we start again. Hoping to get my camembert in the oven at some point before midnight!

I sometimes get FOMO on NYE but not this year. I was out last night and while I had a great night, I have no interest in doing it again. It's JOMO for me.

I've just made a macaroni cheese with all the leftover Christmas cheese and I have a passionfruit martini out of a tin. It doesn't get any better than that, surely?

I always find that I just need to avoid social media at this time of year! Everyone wrapping up their "BEST" year ever with shitty little montages. Do I sound bitter??! I'm nearing the end of a 12 hour shift and I just want my bed and my cats 🤣🤣🤣

I've had a couple of sympathy texts from family saying 'sorry you're on your own'

It did make me chuckle. It was a firm choice to be on my own! Cannot be fucked seeing anyone or making chit chat, had enough of that at Christmas!

So yeah DAMO for me (delight at missing out)

Definitely not. Cheapest tickets near us were £79 a head plus drinks! Or we could have gone further afield and spent two hours waiting for a taxi to get home.
Instead we've stayed in, had a really nice meal. DS has a mate over for the night and we'll all toast in the new year later before sloping off to bed, only to feel feel richer and better rested tomorrow.

No fomo for me. I have a toddler and I will be happily curled up in my bed loving my hangover free life tomorrow x

I was going to stay home and have a quiet one and watch the fireworks on BBC. My sister called, lives 20 mins away and said she is also alone and doesn’t have the urge to do anything big. So we will go over to her and have a big combined quiet one watching the fireworks on BBC and maybe singing some karaoke.

Side note - FOMO is pretty much a word on its own haha.

A bit but despite having 2 kids I'm sure I could find childcare if we we're desperate enough but we aren't.

What puts me off is the expense of going out, I would love to host a party but I live in an ordinary house with no room for tons of people so I don't know how people do it!

I called off my NYE plans as I hate NY and I'm shattered. I'm now regretting my decision and wish I had made the effort to see people. I will feel better tomorrow having not spent loads of money and not hanving a hangover.. but I definitely feel like I've missed out.

Cba to get dressed up, over priced drink, getting into a club, too many sweaty drunk people. Rather be at home trying to calm the dogs down when the fucking fireworks start.

Never! I have never enjoyed going out drinking. Never been clubbing. Im a quiet soul who likes home. I dint like going abroad, and detest cities. im a rural girl, its where im happy.

Im 50 next year and ive never thought i miss out.

Another one with JOMO- it's freezing and raining!

I do however regret not buying and B&Js to eat argh

I'm ill - chemo bollocks, try to avoid this sort of shit wherever possible - so not happily stuck indoors because nausea, blah, but sort of happily here. No FOMO, because on the whole, no one is usually having as much fun as you might think they are. Hell, they might be jealous that you're all cosied up inside with a loved one, or a book, or a film, or a cat, or ... no one is jealous of me, but any of you? You just don't know.

Anyway, I'm feeling the cold, so I have on flannel PJ bottoms, a fleece hoodie, socks, and a nice throw with a big cat acting as an extra heat pad. I'm on my recliner which is comfy and I'll stay here until I get to bed again. I'm watching Marry Me which seems like total pants but enjoyably so.

Could be so much better, but hey, could be a lot worse! Happy new year, lovely folk, forget the FOMO and embrace the best bits of the moment you can find.

Seriously, also ignore me. I'm as miserable as sin really and my Pollyanna bullshit is sickening me even more than the chemo!😃🤐😃

It’s almost 9pm. Toddler and baby asleep. DH and I cooked a lovely meal together and drank wine and talked. I’m totally content tbh. Sorry if that’s dull.

Fear of missing out. It’s not exclusively a mums net abbreviation, it’s a fairly common social media one.

Bad enough the fireworks starting now and its not midnight yet.😡

It's not fomo. It's grass is greener more lile ime.

I will be in bed in the next 30 minutes. Can’t wait :)

back in the wild old days of the early internet these things were used, and they are now part of the fixture and fittings.

If you can't be bothered to either learn or look up - meh.

I've been out a lot over the last few days, including last night. I'm happy to be staying in tonight.

I've got FONS (fear of not sleeping) 4am start for a shift at work tomorrow. Can't turn brain off

@MouseMinge I am totes jealous of your cat heat pad. Kasper is only concerned with keeping the top of his cat tree warm. I think I have FONCH (fear of no cat heat).

DH is working until 11 and eldest DC has gone out for the night. I did have some almost FOMO like thoughts until I was telling her to be careful coming home and how hard it could be to get a taxi and now I'm rather enjoying being on the sofa with my drinks already bought and only a few steps away.

I'm currently watching Shazam Fury of the Gods while one dog is snuggled up with me and youngest DC is walking our other two dogs while we have a lull in fireworks going off.

We were going to have friends over tonight but I'm glad we changed our minds. I'm thinking of taking a glass of wine into the bath after the movie is finished and having a nice soak until DH gets home.

Everyone knows what FOMO is. You picked the one acronym that wasn't a mumsnetism.
