Bagpuss Report post Posted December 30, 2007 At Baggy Towers it will be a quiet one. Just DH, I and the kiddies, although off to my sister's for New Year's Day. We always stay up till midnight though, and see in the New Year, even the kiddies, and will probably involve lots of chocolate I can't remember the last time DH and I celebrated New Year by going out, think it was 1991 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KarenT Report post Posted December 30, 2007 We're all usually in bed by 10pm, and even that's a late night for me. J wants to stay up this year - don't know what he expects will happen on the stroke of 12 but he just wants to experience it. So we're having a nap in the afternoon, to rest up for the big push, then we'll spend the evening playing Cluedo and Wii Sports and having a competition to see who can make the most ridiculous Mii. Then at 12 (if we're still up) we'll kick J out the back door with a packet of biscuits and a bottle of beer and send him round the front to be first foot. I'll be fast asleep by 12.05.

kellyanne Report post Posted December 30, 2007 we spend new year in, TRY and wake kids up at 2355 (they sleep through anything so it'll be hard to wake them) Although this year we were invited to a friends house but we declined gracefully as I've got this horrible cold thing and the kids get soo tired that they get miserable and whinge at everyone and everything!! WE have tried the sleep thing in the afternoon DH and I manage it but the boys don't. All that said it will be a quiet one for us and then i'll be asleep as soon as poss afterwards Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nic m Report post Posted December 30, 2007 I love new year at hogmany there is usually lots of house parties to go to, my brother is having one this year but because i am child free (yes child free) i had planned to go dancing. Now though having got back from london i feel the need to clean the house put things away and start the year not so tired. Im with baddad i love jools' hootenanny it is one of my favourite programmes over the festive period and will also be having lots of alcohol probably a nice chablis or white burgandy. My friend is coming over and he is a fabulous cook so it will also involve gorgeous food. Enjoy the bells everyone Nic Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kathryn Report post Posted December 30, 2007 We'll be staying in too with a bottle of bubbly stuff and some nice snacks. We went to a good party yesterday so I don't feel too hard done by! In past years we've rented a cottage somewhere nice with a large group of friends - that guarantees a party and gets round the babysitting problem, but this year we all went away together in October instead. As you've probably seen, I'm often awake way after midnight, so staying up tomorrow night shouldn't present too much of a challenge! K x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clare63 Report post Posted December 30, 2007 (edited) The days of a New Years party seem to be long behind me ! So its a quiet one at home for the boys no doubt on PS3 all night as its been since Christmas Day, me asleep on the sofa or on here and sadly no alcohol as I am on call from 1am.........could be a long night. Looking forward, as ever, to a fresh start and new beginnings. What ever you do.... Happy New Year.

Mumble Report post Posted December 31, 2007 And I'll bring the Lee Meade CD that DS bought me for Xmas, mind you, I'm not keen if I'm honest You'd think being a supposed Lee fan loonie, you'd know how to spell his name I'm not a great fan of his CD either - too much different 'stuff' rather than him developing his own style.

oxgirl Report post Posted December 31, 2007 I feel like such a misery guts admitting this, but I hate New Year's Eve. Am I the only one??!! I just find it so depressing and boring and such an anticlimax. If I had my way, I'd just go to bed, but DH insists on staying up and watching all the terrible end of year progs. I get overtaken by such a flat feeling when the clock ticks past 12.00 and it's, 'oh well, that's that then' and off to bed. Jay will go to bed at his normal time, he can't see the point of staying up, not that I'd want him up 'til 12.00!! Think I'd best sidle off to my hole now. ~ misery guts Mel ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
