I couldn't see that anyone else had started a new thread, after Stropps carelessly finished the old one without starting a new one, so here you are. Xmas GrinXmas GrinXmas Grin

What's BB cream?

I am in bed having given in to the cold.... Wow how the other half and all that ;-)

My DM loves dp and takes his side in all disputes - he is a saint obviously to have shacked up with me Hmm

herbaceous · 31/12/2013 22:12

I am alone kind of by choice. I went out alone last NYE, so it was DP's turn. It was also in 'payment' for him having to spend most of Christmas with my mental family. And TBH I'd felt so grim with the lung that I didn't want to go out anyway.

Had a delicious prawn pathia, and just after it arrived my neighbour came round, proffering a vintage glass full of chilled, spiced gin to accompany it! I could see them having a jolly party through our kitchen windows, and I think he took pity on me.

My best NYE, walking the dog in softly falling snow at midnight whilst pregnant with ds..... Fab...

Joan and Jackie Collins on the telly. Something mildly tragic, yet admirable, about them...

herbaceous · 31/12/2013 23:13

Bugger me. Joan Collins is EIGHTY.

Happy new year my Crepey friends! (Hic)

CointreauVersial · 01/01/2014 02:45

Happy New Year, Crepeys!

Have retired to bed, leaving DH downstairs with his family. I think DS is still up too.

Blackduck · 01/01/2014 06:28

Happy New Year one and all..

Auriga · 01/01/2014 08:05

Happy New Year everyone

herbaceous · 01/01/2014 09:01

HNY. Another year gone, and still no nearer to knowing what to be when I grow up.

How about this for debauchery - DP got in at 7.20! AM! He's iinvited people round to ours for 'recovery position' drinks and food at3. Guess who'll be sorting all that out then...

Blackduck · 01/01/2014 09:44

Herbs - :). Me neither.... Except I don't think I want to grow up ;)

You'd be luck to get food round here today!!

lalsy · 01/01/2014 09:58

Happy New year crepeys!

Me neither.

herbaceous · 01/01/2014 10:27

To welcome in the new year my cold is finally retreating,leaving a constant stream of alarmingly coloured matter pouring from my nose. Revolting, yet satisfying.

Happy New Year y'all! :) I am free of any hangover (as I been throughout Christmas ) and am just psyching myself up for a dog walk in the most hideous weather. The dog is not looking particularly keen, but needs must. Today I shall mainly be enjoying doing what I want, before re-engaging with real life again from tomorrow. I have managed to more or less avoid RL since Dec 27th and this has done me a power of good.

May 2014 be a healthy and productive year for all.

motherinferior · 01/01/2014 11:37

I am hangover free but managed to have a couple of idiotic rows last night with various people last night. Think I may suggest sophisticated lunch of oven chips and eggsGrin

QueenQueenie · 01/01/2014 12:01

Had a lovely evening playing trivial pursuit / drinking (not too much) fizz. On the 3 minute walk home dcs managed to go from being on the best of terms to kicking and fighting in the road Shock Angry Hmm. Happy New Year indeed. Not a good note to start 2014 on. Am rather depressed by them and find it hard not to let their awful behaviour eclipse the nice time we'd all had before that. Am rather stony faced with them this morning. Hey ho.

motherinferior · 01/01/2014 12:10

QQ, many sympathies. I get to be the owner of a teenager in just over a month...

Am riveted by tales of Goings On on MN last night Shock

motherinferior · 01/01/2014 12:12

Btw where shall we go on 17th? And am I correct in thinking we need to congratulate BD on that occasion?

QueenQueenie · 01/01/2014 12:12

Ta MI .
What GOINGS ON? Where?

Try threads like 'what happened on MN last night'. Lots of flouncing and accusations!

QueenQueenie · 01/01/2014 12:31

I think I've got the gist now...
Think I'll stay here where everyone is lovely!

bigTillyMintspie · 01/01/2014 12:41

Happy New Year everyoneSmile

Had a lovely evening round a friends which involved dancing to cheesy 80's numbers and Beyoncé - DD was even dancing with DSShock
DH had to drop DS up to his friends for 10 (shopping tripHmm) and has just dropped DD to meet her friends, thank God as her good humour from last night seems to have disappeared. Sympathies, QQ!

MI, I was just wondering the same thing! So is the list
MI
Stropps
Herbs
Auriga
BTM
MrsS
Beachy
Rudy?
QQ
BD
Addle
Wilbur?

Have I missed anyone? Might be a bit chilly for standing outside drinking cocktails... Waterloo bar and kitchen. Or the bar (Benugo?) in the BFI?
