  • I had a fairly inexpensive New Year, around £25 all in. I spent a lot of the evening at a house party, so that was covered by a few tins and a bit of food. Went out for about three hours at 11pm - good enough to see midnight and have a few more lagers.

    Am absolutely skint now though, and am away in Liverpool in two weeks. Not sure how I'm going to juggle this, but it'll work out!

  • A very cheap night.

    My parents (who I currently live with) run a murder mystery evening every year (since about 2002. This year was was invited to participate. I just had to produce a costume (was playing a man :O, an austin powers a-like so spent £10 on a wig and glasses and cobbled together the rest. I helped my mum prepare the food, and in return I didn't have to pay for food or booze!

    Cheapest NYE I've had since ???? knows when. Went with OH to the Calenning (open air festival/party) in Cardiff. Saw four different bands (two of them were good as well) and watched the firework show at midnight. Had dinner at home before we went out and spent a total of £8 on the night.

    I didn't spend anything, in fact I earned £40 babysitting for a family down the road.

    Think I spent around £150 inc £45 ticket. Went to Slammin Vinyl at the NEC (Birmingham) == Worth it without a doubt. Best Night of my life !!
  • I spent £20 on my ticket, £10 on a cab (slightly ashamed I didn't chip in for the cab back, but it was all slightly hazy at that point....) and about £40 on drinks (yep it was a club and yep I was suitably hungover yesterday..) so £70 (oh and I bought clothes to wear for £30) so actually £100. Good God will I ever learn!
