I will be staying in this New Years Eve as I have very recently changed jobs to work part time and take on the role of carer for my Mum who is disabled and has Spina Bifida among other things. I could go out but here is my take on it.
It costs an arm and a leg, you have to buy tickets weeks in advance for a club or pub you would normally go to for free or before 11pm to take advantage of free entry. When you would go after £11 it would be £10 or less to get in. The cheapest my friends and I found club wise was £35 plus taxis charge double time and do not get me started on the price of drinks. The queues and the crowds are ridiculous, over 40mins last year in the cold to get into a club we were paying £28 to get into and then £6.50 for a double vodka and coke.
I have decided it's an over hyped event I can do without and am going to stay in drink a bit, order a take away and watch the fireworks along the Thames and toast my Mum.
What are you thoughts and what do you have planned for New Years Eve?

really care about or don't really know and saying Happy New Year when they don't give a "you know what"..been there and done it! If I want to wish someone a Happy New Year I will do it when I see them and MEAN it!!
Thanks. She's a handful, Scottish (I blame her for my red hair) loves New Year and I will be taking her to Weatherspoons for a few drinks in the afternoon
I love Jools Holland show I've usually watched it on catch up so it will be on for me
I'm going to tape Alan if he and Jools overlap but he was hilarious last year I think he was more than a bit squiffy even funnier I watched it on catch up with my own hangover inbetween throwing up. I think I just over shared.
Our dog Misty goes totally mental and chases herself around the garden in November, almost giving herself a heart attack so we brought her a dog Adaptil Appeasear. It sends out pheromones to calm the animals down. I think you can get them from pet shops and vets also amazon.
You're welcome there are some tablets you can put in their food as well called Maxi-Calm.
I feel I should be out and about, but I just feel that it's peer pressure and I really don't want to go.
Double time?
I think I'm 46 in the body of a 26 yr old, I really just cannot be bothered!
No, we get paid at our normal rate, but with 150 added for about 6 hours work, plus a day's holiday. It's a pretty decent deal.
It sounds it, I'm working in the morning but finish by 2pm.
Buy a bottle of bubbly and share it with your Mum.
lol thanks
Very well said.
I was thinking about it. At least £50 on an outfit from the sales, another £40 in taxi fares, £35 if we can get a ticket or in! £125 and i've not even brought a drink yet. I think I'm making the right decision
