    DH and I are staying in, same as last year. We are having a 'use it all up' buffet, drinking wine leftover from Christmas and watching a movie. I am not fussed if I am asleep by 12.

    DS (3.5) will be in bed as will the dog.;)

    On NYD we will be going for a lovely long walk.

  • Staying in. Granted, we are getting some booze (last time for me :()and a pizza from Asda but it's the cost of going out that is ridiculous and after having some nights out on the town in previous years, I'd rather not wake up smelling of somebody else's beer sweat.

    So it will be me, my partner and the dog playing monopoly, having a drink, eating pizza and watching TV.

    Oh, and United play tomorrow evening. I want to be non hungover for that!

    I don't know what it is but NYE/Christmas period makes me feel a bit down. It's a mixture of hope and disappointment.

    I don't like missing out on a good party but at least I am not spending money I don't have.

    I have also got a reduced meal from Sainsbury's and nibbles! Today seems to be going quickly. Is anyone working today?

  • Don't know if I'll be staying in or going out.

    Atm, it's looking like I'll be staying in, but if I do go out, it'll be to visit a friend who was recently widowed, so no mad partying.

    Going out to the local pub about 15 mins walk away. Theres a disco and karaoke on. Im not that bothered tbh and would quite happily stay in. Have always preferred Christmas to NYE but OH wants to go out and he's paying :)

    Does anyone else think that this comment doesn't sit right with the dozens of people on MSE working hard for many years to pay back money owed? :o

    Hi Missu,

    The comment certainly appears to be gloating regarding the statute barred bit, although we don't know the individuals circumstances regarding whether or not they can afford to pay the debt back etc. I paid off lots of my debts, but would be lying if I said that I had paid them all off, as some simply became statute barred (mind you, at the time I had no idea what statute barred was!). It certainly isn't anything to brag or boast about though!

    I am staying in for New Years Eve and will have some wine, nibbles and watch whatever is on TV. I wish all of you a happy, healthy and debtfree 2014:beer:
    If you've nothing decent to say, perhaps you shouldn't say anything.

  • Well, I'm all set - just out the bath, PJs on ...... pizza to go in shortly & a nice bottle of red ;) that I got for Christmas to go with it - really, what more could I wish for! :D
