New Years Sulk

Well - it looks like it's gonna be a typical crap new years' eve. For the last 3 years we haven't seen new year in as we have been very tired and not getting much sleep since dd2 was born. We are feeling a bit more human now and decided to invite some friends over, with their kids, even offered a bed for the night so they could relax and have a few drinks. Everyone either had something planned already or didn't want to keep their kids out late so a couple of people said they may pop in for an hour for a drink instead. Nothing came of it so looks like it's just dh, me and two dds. I know I should be happy with this but kids have been bickering constantly all over christmas and are driving me mad. Unfortunately we have no one to babysit for us so we will have to stay in. dm has offered to babysit for us for a couple of hours if we want to go out for a drink (we would have to be back early) but dh has said that he doesn't want to go out and come back early so he would rather just stay in. A couple of our mates are going into town and have said that we are welcome to join them if we like.
So I am sat here with a dodgy cracker party hat on, lots of chocolate, swigging on a bottle of grolsch.

Shows you how times have changed doesn't it, now I am wearing a paper hat from a cracker (same as you sparkler) and this time 7 years ago I used to wearing a traffic cone at this time of nite.

One year I brought in New Year in London and pinched a policemans hat (he was a good laugh though he pinched my bum)

Hi Sparkler and co. Can I come and sulk with you? I've got nothing to do and nowhere to go and feeling more and more miserable about it as the night goes on! I've got a saying going round and round my head today which is along the lines of 'start as you mean to go on' or you should be seeing the new year in the way you want the rest of the year to be. Not going to be a great year then!!!!
Didn't have enough money to get dd a decent b'day present, have had a huge row with dp, got a splitting headache ............. sorry i'll stop now!

Dizzylizzy · 31/12/2004 19:13

Melsy there is nothing worse, my dd's have been ill but are ok now, not putting them to bed yet though, waiting till they are really tired as they will probably wake when the firework frenzy starts at midnight.

OMG brusselbeansprouts, your stick joke was so not funny it was bl**dy hilarious! That is the funniest thing ever, whilst also being the most unfunny thing ever! ROFL!

Have any of your heard the joke about the butter?

Well I'm not going to tell you, you'll spread it around.
