New Years Eve

crossing my legs!

We're doing same as the last 2 years... local pub! I've always celebrated near years with my whole family and never had a proper night out for it. We used to always have parties at my mums house but it's easier to go to the pub now.

£1 a ticket, invite only (no riff-raff!) and a hog roast, plus cheap booze and some gorgeous home made curries by the landlord - oh, and it's in walking distance of my mums house, no designated drivers!

Other Half is on nights so i am going to my Mil2b's so i can at least see him before he leaves for work and I won't be on my own...Hmmm I can't imagine it's going to be much fun.. maybe being on my own would be better!?

This made me LOL!!!

I always get a bit grumpy about NYE, how our local decides to charge folks to get trhough the door, and if you decide not to do anything then you are seen as a scrooge!

Any who, this is actually the first NYE in about 4 years that H doesnt have a gig! we are having people around ours. just going to get some nibbles, drinks, fizz and sparklers. quite chilled out really. Plus we have a few friends who have little ones sothey will be bringing them.

PIL will be planning something but I'm holding out to see if we get a better offer! (Is that mean?!) Last year we had a party at PILs (always lots of fun to be fair to them) so had to turn down an offer to spend it with friends which I would have loved.

Depends what offers we get though as can only spend it with the people who already know I'm pregnant as there is no way I could hide the non-drinking on NYE!

We're going round a friends for some food and wine. I'm not convinced that it will be amazing but sure it'll be fine

We are spending it in Teesside with my family which we have never done. We are getting dressed up to the nines, going to the local pub and then afterwards we will go back to my Aunts and carry on the Paaarttyyyy!

We're off to cornwall for New Year. And will be celebrating the night itself in Jamie Oliver's 15 at the NYE party there. Good food, cocktails and dancing til 2am.

Then stagger over the road to the apartment we have hired.

I cant wait to get away with just H and forget everything else x

Rod wins the prize for best NYE plans so far!

The only reason we're going all out is because we hope its the last one we have on our own! Hopefully this time next year there will be a mini Rod either here, or on its way!

Yep Rod definitely wins!

I'm off to my best friends parents house as they are having an engagement party there. It's literally up the road from my parents house though so no one has to drive

I am working at 4am New Years do so big fat nothing really!!

Probably just try and eat my self into a sleep coma and hope for a few hours kip...

It'll be the first NYE I haven't done anything for and the first time I wont be up for midnight (well I will probably be awake due to everyone else enjoying themselves- grumpgrumpgrump!)

I hate new year. It's the anniversary of my dad leaving us and lots of crappy things happening so I don't like it one bit.

Normally working at 5an but I'm off this year so I'm not sure.

We normally go away to Scotland for New Year, but this year we're not as we're skint. We'll probably stay in and watch the TV, unless anyone we know is throwing a party.

We are going to a friend's house. There will only be 6 of us but I hate going out on NYE so it suits me. Drinks, food and trivial pursuit ?! We are old beyond our years I think

I hate going out on NYE so will be staying in with my new husband and a bottle of champagne.

I am working until 10 and then in at 7am the next day, probably staying over at work if there are rooms available. Might ask if the OH can stay with me like he did last Christmas when I had to stay over at work.

We are going to a 70's fancy dress party. I don't want to go. I am unhappy with my chosen outfit, and it doesn't look as though there will be many people there.

I'll be in New York checking out the ball in Time Square then heading to a club somewhere. Cannot wait!

We are having our bestman, his wife and their 2 children over to ours. Will do some lovely food (or possibly Chinese takeaway!) with lots of beer/wine/champagne. Hubby is on call so he wont be drinking ☹️. Hopefully this will be the last one before kiddies.

Jealous much!!

I think Kriek has now overtaken Rod in the best way to spend New Year!

We are away to Munich with a bunch of mates - cannot wait !! Away for 3nights

I'm not sure what we're doing yet, I think it may just be me and the H for a change, we usually go away to Scotland as well, but this year I will mainly be sober ☹️ my first one in ages!!

Sorry Rod! It is our honeymoon though and we pretty much planned the entire wedding around this idea. We normally have fairly boring New Year plans.

We're just going to a friend's for a house party.

We're all getting married next year so I think it'll be lots of fun, seeing in our year of marriage together.

Kriek i did this a few years ago, BEST.NEWYEARS.EVER!!!

we were right at the front whent he ball dropped, there were 10s of thousands of people lining the streets..get there early!!

I'm a total scrooge when it comes to NYE!!! I've not had an amazing one since 2000 where we had a street party, the rest have ranged from ok to down right rubbish! Usually go to someones house, then end up in the local pub, every year say we won't be doing it again, until we find ourselves right back there!

This year we are either going to see The Proclaimers at Stirling Castle. This could go either way. I do not doubt the band will be good, but weather obviously permitting and we went a couple of years ago and everyone got thrown out at 12.05 - so we never even had a chance to 'enjoy' the bells. Either that or I just stay in with MF in the new place. I've already planned next year though - everyone round to ours! It will be cosy but everyone will be drunk, warm and dry, which will be a change from previous years!!
