What are your plansfor NEW YEARS EVE?

[SPARKLER1clausiscomingtotown]

Sorry if thread done before - did have a quick hunt through to check first but didn't find anything.
I have always found New Years Eve really depressing and a big build up for nothing. This is the first year in a very long time that I have felt really good in myself (have been suffering with long term depression) and I am determined to enjoy this one.
We are thinking about going to visit family in Wales for a couple of nights - need to phone them tonight and see if they'd be okay for us to stay. Not sure if I fancy the journey up (four hours in car with travel sickness not good - and that's me not the kids ) but it will be fun once there.
What's everyone else up to?

Not much unfortunately - parents are over at the moment so will probably cook a nice meal but DH is on call and we have been warned - it will be busy so I probably won't see much of him We had a great Xmas though

party party party!!...(if thats im well enough to go!)

Nothing DH is working until 10.30, so be home about 11.30... I guess we could celebrate abit, but I can see it as him nodding off in the chair, and me just getting depressed at another pants New Years Eve.

Absolutly nothing and I know I will be miserable about it however hard I try not to be.

My Dh is working all night ( police officer). So I will be at home with DS's. Will have a glass or two of wine and watch Jools Holland. Not a big fan of new years eve myself. If any Mners are about may come on for a chat - lulus bar may be open?!

Sheraz - Ill prob. be here too!

[need to get a life emoticon]

Yep I'll be at Lulus bar! Sad isn't it!

My dh is going round to some friends that he doesn't see very often so I'm babysitting and probably will be in bed by 10pm

Nutcracker, I remember you posting that your friends had arranged a night out - were you not able to persuade them to have a little party at yours?

I didn't ask in the end Maercy as 'friend' made it quite clear since what she really thinks of me.

one of the neighbours is having a party and we can bring dd as the other neighbours areall bringing their kids.

I'm going to a friend's house for a low-key 'gathering' and taking ds. I don't really want to (go, that is, not take ds).

First NYE since he was born that I've had the chance to go out - and I'd rather just sit in front of the tv

Nothing atm . Nutty couldn't you invite anyone around to yours ?

Sorry Nutcracker .

There'll be plenty of people on MN though (me included)

No one to invite LIZ.

nutty - make a plan to do something with nice people for new year's day instead. i reckon its way more important than new year's eve. starting off jan first with the mother of all hangovers, tired, pale and grey and infinitessimally skinter is overrated imo.

SIL and two mates are coming over for drinkies.

DH is going across the street to his local w/his two pals.

Shall I sell advance tix for Lulamams bar then?

We're actually going out, wuth dds, to a party where even children are invited. Whilst I doubt that it will be the best night of my life, there will be plenty of people we know, and lots od dd1's friends.

We are planning on staying in and a few friends, 8 or so of us, will come round for some drinks, snacks and games. It is not, repeat NOT, a party.

Hopefully it will be quite nice and dd is staying with her gps so dp and I can have a few drinks and a lie in on New Years Day.

Working, would find it strange not too, not much of a party animal anyway so would probably just end up at home with a bottle and pile of sausage rolls.

Dh is working and I'll absolutley, without a doubt be asleep by midnight.

DS1 finally old enough to babysit. So no struggle to find a sitter this year.

Parrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrddddddddddddddddeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!

My dad has dd so I shall be going oot, somewhere, with some people. Not sure tbh, there are few parties going on, think I will decide on the night, you know, try and be young and impulsive!
