what are you doing new years eve?

[juicychops]

just wondered what everyone's plans are as i have none

Same as you Juicy

Not sure. I was going to a party with my brother and his gf, but the person having the party has callled it off

I think they may just come here for booze and nibbles instead, which will be nice, but would love to go out. Not been out for NY since 2000.

going round to a friend, will take the boys and put them to bed there, friend's dh cooks, then just have relaxing evening, probably play some games etc, another couple will be there aswell.
Used to alternate between us and the friend but they have done it the last few years since ex and I split up.

I have none. Last year I ended up crying on BIL's shoulder whilst his GF gave me evils as I was so bloody miserable. This year will be an improvement.

Working a night shift.

I fact working nights on 31st,1st and 2nd.

But we will be having a bit of knees up at work (that is the plan anyway)

Got quite a few friends and their DCs over , will have party food and much vino

As a family we are going to stay with friends. Will eat, drink and chat till midnight and retire fairly swiftly thereafter. [old gits emoticon]

Last year was the first year in ages that I didn't cry on nye. Well that is until a friend rang at 12:10 to wish me happy new year and I could hear her party in full swing in the backgound.

I live 1 minute walk away from her.

that;s so mean, MrsM

working.

Probably go to bed at 10 and wake up wondering why there's fireworks going off at midnight. Wish DH a happy New Year and go back to sleep. It has been like that for a few years now.

We used to have a great party with a meal and then open presents (instead of at Christmas) at midnight with my family. Miss that a lot. Shame we can't go over.

We are going to stay with friends in Dorset 30/12 - 2/1. Can't wait!

Nothing. Only lived here for a few months so don't know anyone. Just me and DS on NYE.

Just another evening in this house.

Eat dinner, drink wine, watch tv/read. Asleep by 10/10.30. I've never been able to stay awake until midnight.

off to my sisters where i will get very drunk and the kids will be manic.........i intend to be better than last year when i started on the vodka coctails a little too early and was being sick at 11.45pm and fast asleep at midnight.....i was the host of the party! LMAO

not much, probably won't be able to stay awake till midnight anyway

May treat myself to takeaway though

Am doing a murder dinner party for 6 adults and 5 kids. As we have all got our kids wiuth us i decided to do something that would include everyone.

Working

elastamum - thats sounds fun

Do any of the guests have to "die" though??

Flying into Heathrow after 14 hours in the sky with 2 preschoolers!

We might go to a dear friend's house in the countryside in central italy. It's going to be us + 3 other families, the plan is to cook a lot, eat a lot and hope that the kids will entertain themselves
BUT, I usually get ill after christmas, so we'll see

Been invited to a party with dc's but not to sleep over and soeone will need to drive and as kids will be wretched come 8pm im now thinking a night in with mucho booze and a chinese may be more suitable . I did buy 4 of those chinese lantern thingys so may light them at teatime when dark on new years day and make a wish whilst letting go so our neighbours think a ufo is circling.........

Elastamum sounds fab

There's a thread under Christmas for all those who are staying in and want to raise a glass (or 2) to each other!
