I'm staying in tonight. Just another day really.
I have some beers in the fridge that I was meant to have at xmas and didn't, so I might have a couple and watch the fireworks.
The rest of tonight's TV is major crapo.
Roll on 2015 when I will be doing exactly the same as I did this year. (Subject to a major euromillions win!)
I'm too auld to be paying silly money in pubs and taxis, queuing for toilets and standing about in the cold at Edinburgh's street party. Great fun when you're young but I CBA with that now.
Just me here, the kids will be up but my lovely plans of music, board games and a buffet will no doubt result in an Aspie meltdown, the game getting booted half way across the room and the dug eating the grub...ending up with the kids gaming and me on DS.
Me. I was having a gathering (small, but a good few heads) and every f**ker has bailed on me. Well, all except one, but we've just had a chat and it's not worth the 2 hr train journey for him now.........
We were meant to have a three-day NYE celebration, but the visitors couldn't make it. They missed their flight before they could check in, heh.
So it's just us tonight. Our first in years. Yay! Husband and older two kids are especially happy. Husband can slob in front of TV and play a video game (which he's doing now). The kids can go to their friends' NYE parties. I get to do as I please, too.
What's really made me happy? NO NYE CLEANING AND COOKING!
It does feel weird not doing anything, though. Husband just doesn't want to go out, so I'm fine with refusing invitations from local relatives and staying in. He deserves a good rest.
Used to enjoy New Years Eve when I was younger when I could deal with a hangover and go into work the following day.
Now it's just a regular night apart from doing a small buffet for kids and my husband runs through the door from work at 11.50 pm just in time to see in new year together.
Absoluley nada, i dont care what society thinks of us who stay in. Better than being surrounded by drunken sweaty retards. Will spend the evening chilling with family, will watch the display on BBC1 as usual and watch some of the fireworks outside
Society doesn't think anything of you. You guys play the part of some renegade going against society's norms, when in reality you are not doing anything special, no one is judging you and no one bloody cares.
On the couple of occasions I did actually go out on NYE, I can safely say that this never happened to me
Can I just ask sorry, why do you always have to make sure you get in your asexuality when even the vaguest reference of sexual intimacy comes up? I've always found it rather strange tbh. A bit, the lady doth protest too much I think. A more cynical person than me would suggest you are using it as a shield to protect yourself from emotional pain.
Normally not though i do always watch Jools Hootenanny. However a neighbour (female, single and much younger ;-)) made an invitation on the Christmas card she sent me that we, "must get together for a drink over Christmas or early in the New Year".
She does have a chap who only appears for a few hours usually on Fridays (never stops overnight), and i don't want to intrude.
Now i'm just dithering over exactly when to go across and ask her in case she is having company this evening and would then feel awkward.
Nup, Agoraphobic so I have isolated myself from all my friends, my Mum is really, really ill in hospital, my beautiful canine companion has recently been put to sleep, 22 year old cats just gone blind and is on her way out and my Grandma is in respite after breaking her hip three weeks ago!
On the plus side, I have wine and Zopiclone.
Regardless of my shit................. I sincerely wish you all a happy new year.
Sorry for the buzzkill.
Sorry to hear about that R82n8, hope 2015 treats you and yours a bit better.
I'm cancelling plans tonight to spend a quiet night in for the first time in about five years and I'm actually looking forward to doing just that

One daughter has just txt, she is going to Signor Sassi restaurant, London, have to say am a bit envious.
ETA, second thoughts, I'm not, grandson is the better option, we have a laugh
plus thread title, Not doing anything

I'll prob get a pizza to bung in the oven then fall asleep well before the clock ticks over to another day.
Sounds actually like an eminently nice idea. Just they don't deliver out in my neck of the woods so would have to drive in to town

Reading that, I've just remembered that was a catchphrase on the Steve Wright Show on Radio One in the 80s!:p
