I'm having a great time. All my own space.

BorisJohnsonsHair · 31/12/2016 22:42

DH working away, so binge-watching Peep Show from the beginning while downing a nice bottle of red. DS (14) may decide to appear from his lair at some point around midnight, then I can go to bed and watch more Peep Show!

CurlsandCurves · 31/12/2016 22:55

DH is working as usual for NYE. The kids are in bed, and I'm a bottle of prosecco down so won't be far behind them!

Funnylady123 · 31/12/2016 22:59

Me too, agree this is the only time of year I feel sad to be alone.

DeepAndCrispAndEvenTheWind · 31/12/2016 23:00

Netflix and wine. Yeah baby!

Getnakedorgohome · 31/12/2016 23:04

Dh currently the other side of the world on deployment. 2 dc under 5, both fast asleep since 7. A night like many others, only this one has pink fizz! Happy new year everyone! Smile

BitchyInnerMonologue · 31/12/2016 23:05

In company. Feel alone. Sad

jellybelly16 · 31/12/2016 23:06

Me and my wee dog, who is currently petrified of fireworks being let off!! Dc at exh my first nye on my own but i feel ok about it actually 🍾

WildIrishRose1 · 31/12/2016 23:07

No dogs or cats here, but happy new year to everyone nonetheless!

takemetothehamptons · 31/12/2016 23:14

Bitchy sorry to hear that. Feeling lonely in company is the worst kind of loneliness

BraveDancing · 31/12/2016 23:21

I'm alone with my cats. DW has gone out to a party (I told her too). I don't like NY, but I am really enjoying having a box set, an open fire and chocolate.

Happy new year all.

walkingthedogs · 31/12/2016 23:33

All alone here as well but have wine, cheese and crackers. Raising a glass to you all and hope that 2017 is nicer to us all :-)

StarsandSparkles · 31/12/2016 23:41

Just me, 18 month old ds and ddog here. Ds is in bed and im curled up on my chair with ddog snoozing on me waiting for the bells so i can go to bed. I much prefer this to going out as im self concious when i go out. Happy new year to everyone when it comes.

MiscellaneousAssortment · 31/12/2016 23:43

Bitchy I spent a few NYE's on the outside of other people's parties.

''Twas horrible. I felt SO much less alone when I am curled up in my bed by myself.

Minivaperviper · 31/12/2016 23:49

I'm alone with my Baileys and cat. Grin

I don't mind as I have things to look forward to rather than what's in the moment.

I was invited out but no cash. One day I will go out and join the Hogmanay party.

Loopytiles · 31/12/2016 23:54

Had massive row with DH Sad

twattymctwatterson · 31/12/2016 23:58

DD in bed. I'll go just after midnight. I also feel a.bit sad to be alone this time of year. Doing nice stuff with family tomorrow though. Hope 2017 is a good one for you all Wine

MotherTeresasCat · 01/01/2017 00:24

We were invited to a friend's do (me and the kids) but I'm not well so we opted to stay at home. I'm not sorry. Me and the kids stayed up for the Jools Holland count-down, toasted with some non-alcoholic fizz, and watched fireworks out the window. Kids are in bed now and I'm on Mumsnet. All is well Smile

MotherTeresasCat · 01/01/2017 00:28

I don't really love the pressure to be having a marvellous time on New Year's anyway. Forcing myself to go to a party when I'm not that well would have been silly. I'd rather be in my jammy's.

Tulipsinmyvase · 01/01/2017 02:56

With DH but might as well be alone. That statement alone pretty much sums up 2016 for me 😪

Shayelle · 01/01/2017 08:34

Im surprised and happy by how many of us are fine being alone on it. Feel like there is such huge pressure to be out partying with people. Im so glad not to have been a freak by being at home alone but being contented.
Flowers to those who are sad for whatever reason x
Happy New Year to you all!

Happy New Year!
Had a lovely peaceful evening. DH came home as soon as he could. Woke up clear headed and happy. So glad I didn't force myself out.
