    Like some of the above, spending nothing here as well (well, maybe a little on a few cheap beers / bottle of wine but that's no different to normal days). Going to be staying in comforting the cat as she's scared out of her wits by all the noises :(

    We won't be spending a penny. We live on a hill overlooking the Moray Firth. If we go into the field we can see all the organised fireworks and others too.

    We have a community one here which is usually free but this year there is a fee of £1 per person. There's also a fair so it'll probably cost me about £10.
