Lighthearted post

It seems alot of us are struggling with it being nye for a multitude of reasons.

I've had a very tough 2024 and I went into it in a very positive way. I try to be optimistic in all situations however this year has flawed me.
I've had some awful things happen to me this year , Ive read that alot of others have on here too.
I'm trying my hardest not to go into a depressive nye slump.
I'm on my own, my children are with thier father .
I was offered to go to friends parties this evening however I'm not in that frame of mind at all.
It's just me and the dog. I'm normally a content person but for some reason I'm triggered this evening amd can't shift it. I think maybe it's because I know one of the major life changing events that have happened to me in 2024 is going to be an ongoing thing that carries on to 2025 so it's hard to see it as a fresh start.

Anyway...... I said it would light hearted so please can I have recommendations of funny things to watch tonight on tv? Films , series anything?
I started the film new years eve with michelle phfiffer ( not sure if I've spelt that correctly)
I felt depressed very quickly watching it so turned it off .

I'm determined to go into 2025 with some positivity and some laughs

So come on fellow mumsnetters suggest something that's gonna put a big smile on my face tonight please 🙏 😀

Why Him on Netflix amused me the other day. No brain cells required though!

Is it a rom com?

I’m in bed with the dog. I’ve got the fan on and the tv trying to drown out the fireworks. The dogs terrified!

I also hope the fireworks stop for you and your dog soon!!

I mean that would be a great option but once I've decided I'm in, I'm on. Will you go OP? We can then live vicariously through you while we watch reruns 😂

Cassiopeialark · 31/12/2024 21:10

Sorry to hear OP. I’ve also had a shitty year, but with my family tonight.
I would recommend:
Schitt’s Creek
What We Do in the Shadows (film)
Glight of the Conchords
my absolute favourite… Ted Lasso although it has some lows 🥲

Can't beat the oldie but goodie which is Still Game on netflix. It's my go to when I'm feeling bored/a bit down

mumda · 31/12/2024 21:20

Channel 5. One of those music programmes with celebrities talking around clips.
Cracking.

Trepidfox · 31/12/2024 21:20

DH is watching Brassic right now but I sort of got the vibes it's ripping off Shameless a bit (not as good?) should I give it another chance?

Trepidfox · 31/12/2024 21:21

Garth Marenghi (sp) also another one
