What are you doing for New Year's Eve?

We have been invited to a fancy dress party but OH isn't keen, so I think we are off the the cinema preceded by or followed by a meal out. Then home to see in the New Year. Quite tame really:D

    Working, as we have for the past few years as hubby has a mobile disco business. Usually it means that by the time we've finished and broken the gear down I'm driving home around 2.30am. This year we're booked in a pub in our town so we will leave the gear there, walk home (yayyy I can have a drink :beer:) and pick up the gear next day

    Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton

    Stopping in, battening down the hatches, praying the noisy neighbours are still
    away, and catching up on the last few episodes of The Bridge.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    In bed, with alarm set for 5am as I'll be working New Year's Day. I don't really mind, never been a huge fan of NYE anyway.

    Off to visit family in Birmingham for a lovely New Years Eve as usual. Staying overnight so i can have a drink (or several) Making the most of it as i feel i may be home alone next year as my daughter will probably want to be out with her mates and i'll need to be sober to run Mums Taxi that night :(
  • All I'm asking for this year is that my husband stays up to watch the fireworks with me, last year he fell asleep at half 11, it was all I asked him to do haha. We have two under three years old so our partying days are over for now....however the thought of paying £15 to get in a nightclub to feel old next to 18 year old's really doesn't appeal anymore. Nye I've felt has always been an anticlimax.
    Newly Married, not a 2b anymore!! Mum to two wonderful boys!
