We're not doing anything either.0

Same here, if I wasn't ill I'd probably at least make some kind of effort to go out, but I'm quite tired and I really don't feel like it at the moment. OH was going to go to London, but he was saying he can't be bothered earlier, though I think he might change his mind later. I wouldn't have minded going usually, but they're all going to the same pub they always do which gets rammed even when it isn't new year and I really can't be bothered to fight my way through the crowd.
Is your OH going to be with you Maria? That sounds like a much nicer way of starting the new year than going out and getting far too drunk like a lot of people do, not that I've ever done that
. My sisters house in Cornwall has three floors, their living room is at the top and it has a lovely big floor to ceiling window which looks out over Falmouth harbour, and it has a log fire. It would be really nice to be there tonight writing a list of positive things like yours

Aww, sorry your still feeling ill nicki.
Yeah OH is coming to me tonight probably staying over so he can have a proper drink. Your sisters house sounds lovely! Esp the crackling log fire! Make £5 a day JAN £121/175 FEB £283/175:jWeekly Grocery budget of £35! Jan £95.05/175 Feb £37.53/1750 -

Although I don't like NYE I'm quite sad too that I wasn't actually invited anywhere
