Hey everyone

posting here shamelessly for traffic

if you’re at home alone, with a —man— partner you want to leave, or with sugared up kids, join me??

Happy New Year, whatever you’re up to, AIBU users

I am unfortunately bored to tears so have muted Graham and have put on Confesions by Usher on the smart speaker

Home with DH and teen. Have had a martini and just about to open champagne. Watching Kingsman. Hate watching Jools Holland, makes me feel ancient.

DDivaStar · 31/12/2025 23:11

I've had a glass of red but we'll open some prosseco shortly. I think we might try out the last leg later.....

Im not a fan of going out for New Year. Ill watch the fireworks on the TV and get a great view of the home fireworks locally ... then straight to bed !

mumofoneAloneandwell · 31/12/2025 23:17

I discovered jools like a year or two ago, where I discovered The Mary Wallopers! Amazing Irish band, have been a fan ever since

Its just me and dd so going out won’t happen tbh, much nicer to be indoors in the warmth

Jools has some random people on. Sometimes randomly good, sometimes randomly bad !

JustAMiddleAgedDirtBagBaby · 31/12/2025 23:29

Just wandered in and seen the last bit of Graham Norton. Isn't Alison Limerick absolutely lovely?
I fear we'll be turning over for the hootenanny now.

mumofoneAloneandwell · 31/12/2025 23:34

They’ve got a decent lineup today! Olivia dean!!

she was lovely and I am such a Carey Mulligan fangirl.

fairly awful start...

This Kooks song is so dull. Is it new?

Yes it was boring and it is new. Interestingly I Google searched it as it was playing and it came up as a band called Thrice?!

Here with DS & DD. DH here but am not talking to him/barely talking to him after he told me to fuck off, fuck off, FUCK off earlier because I walked in on him in shower. Hasn't apologised as is typical of him. Happy New Year to everyone 🎉🎉

MrsMitford3 · 31/12/2025 23:51

DH just said re Hootenanny- it's not what it once was.

feels quite tragic really- maybe has had it's day?

JustAMiddleAgedDirtBagBaby · 31/12/2025 23:52

DD (the only reason DH and I are still awake) has opted for Ronan Keating and he's actually making me long for Jools Holland, who I detest.

EachandEveryone · 31/12/2025 23:53

I’ve just seen Ronan Keating battering a George Michael son so I quickly turned back to Jools

JustAMiddleAgedDirtBagBaby · 31/12/2025 23:53

@Travelfairy I hope 2026 is blessedly free of such nonsense for you.

Horrendous

JenniferBooth · 31/12/2025 23:55

Im obviously the outlier. Im watching Personal Services on Thats TV two

Alpacajigsaw · 31/12/2025 23:56

I’m watching, just me and H as the teenagers are out. I really can’t be arsed and just want to go to bed. At least it looks hopeful that if I just stay up for the bells I might dodge Lulu

coolmum123 · 31/12/2025 23:56

we’ve turned over to Jools. Ronan is not singing dancing songs. He really brought the vibe down lol
