Gosh, that was bad typing, should I go and find my galsses do you think?

Kbear · 31/12/2007 17:53

I'm staying in with a box of red wine, a Domino's pizza, two lovely kids, a DH with an ear infection and I wouldn't swap ya!

Kbear · 31/12/2007 17:55

Enjoy the party Maureen - this is the first one we haven't spent together since we were about 18 - YOU DO REALISE THAT I HOPE. You'll have to auld lang syne with the WAGS at midnight! Might the bling doesn't blind you!!

Kbear · 31/12/2007 17:55

Oh, just remembered the other one we didn't spend together - 2000 - DS born Sept 2001 as a direct result! ha ha

MamaG · 31/12/2007 17:59

Hmm Mo, by the look of the typing on that post, I don't think you should drive

Mum2Luke · 31/12/2007 17:59

Am out tonight, my older 2 don't want to come so they are babysitting for youngest ds (5 yrs) and making pancakes.

Have bought a new car seat for cming in Halfords sale today, it was £49.99, dh moaned and grunted something about cming being a rip off so I ignored him. Also bought set top box cos the other is defunct. How come things break down all at once? My tumbel dryer is on its way out too and I cannot do without that!

Back to work Wednesday afternoon and Thursday then next Monday kids are back in 6th form and school (yay!). Now where shall we go on holiday this year....! We paid the mortgage off the other week having not had a holiday abroad for 6 yrs so theres one expense gone. Dh is talking about having a conservatory built on the back in March/April, perhaps to make a playroom/ older kids' room.

MaureenMLove · 31/12/2007 18:03

Ah, that's better! See, the problem with saying you'll drive, is that I do like a glass of red to loosen up before I go out! I might just have a small one now, we're not going out til 8.30, if I'm still awake!

Kbear · 31/12/2007 18:05

I think you should drive there, walk back, get hilariously drunk and you'll enjoy it much more. Or you will be counting the minutes til you can leave! Is that right it's no kids?

MamaG · 31/12/2007 18:06

Yes, you'll be bored silly if you can't have a glass of wine.

Do wot Kbear sez

OR

Get Kbear to collect you!

MaureenMLove · 31/12/2007 18:07

Well, the rules were only kids that go to chavvies New Year party and mine, since she's not little. I told dh, had they said no to mine, we wouldn't be going. Bit off, I think, especially as between them, they have the most horrid kids!

MaureenMLove · 31/12/2007 18:08

Ah, now there's an idea! Don't you owe me a lift!

MamaG · 31/12/2007 18:08

eh

MaureenMLove · 31/12/2007 18:12

Its all a bit keep it in the family. 3 of the lads are married to sisters or summit like that, so since all their family will be there, they can't get baby sitters! Between them, there are 9 kids all under 8 and most of them pretty rotten to boot. So, bit off to suggest no kids, when there's going to be at least 9 of their own there! I can't understand why you'd not want to spend New Year with your kids tbh, but thats just me I'm sure.

MamaG · 31/12/2007 18:15

I know what you mean. I'd feel a bit sad if I didn't have the DC with me...but I'd cope

its very quiet from Kbear all of a sudden, isn't it?

MaureenMLove · 31/12/2007 18:19

Pizza has arrived, I bet! That or she's peaked too early on the wine and she's under the table!

Hennipenniinapeartree · 31/12/2007 18:27

I'm not going out tonight but I'm going to a New Year Day Party tomorrow- poor DH is back to work on Weds, I don't start back till thurs so it won't be a late night.

A very very happy new year to everybody who frequents this board, and here's to a happy,healthy and prosperous new year.

Kbear · 31/12/2007 18:32

I was on the phone to my cousin in Florida who is booking my hotel for me. Have I mentioned I'm going to Florida? Have I have I?

I would give you a lift Mo but I'm already on the red wine and frankly if you're going out without me in NYE you're on yer own!

MaureenMLove · 31/12/2007 18:46

Just spoken to the neighbour and she says its back to normal next year at hers! She's having a quiet one with just her mum and the kids at theirs.

Kbear · 31/12/2007 19:01

I am sitting here dreaming of my holiday, eating choc profiteroles and DD is watching Grease and I am wine and it doesn't get much better.

Kbear · 31/12/2007 19:01

"I am wine" - PMSL - meant "I have wine".

LetshaveaSHOSHABLEnewyeardrink · 31/12/2007 19:05

I'm staying in with DH and a BIG bottle of Baileys, I know I know I dont drink, it hurts my hands, but it is NYE and I am not working till 7th
