NYE Plans...

[Bluestone]

Have you planned anything yet and, if so, what?

My choices are as follows:

1. Stay home, bottle of gin, tin of Quality Streets, Jools Holland
2. Edinburgh
3. Go to my parents - where my Dad will be asleep before midnight, and the kids will be asleep upstairs
4. Go to my neighbors house, who's having a party (I've not had an invite)

I just don't know if I can be bothered will it all, so I'm swaying towards number one...

I`d go to the neighbour`s house then you can stay if it`s good and leave if it`s not and still be in front of the TV with a bottle of gin and Jools Holland.

We've not been out for the NYE for years, though we some occasionally pop round to friends for a hour we're usually back home for 21.30-22.00 settled down in the company of a couple of bottles of wine, Mr Morangie and who ever's on the TV.

Stay up watch film maybe then go out on balcony to watch the fireworks we must see nearly ever rocket that goes up in Birmingham from out lofty perch oh yes and malt whisky

[Bluestone]

Good thinking!!

Have you made any plans yet?

[Bluestone]

Paddy, I haven't been out for NYE for many years also. It's too much hassle, freezing cold, and usually a let down.

Rowan, that sounds awesome!

[Mick-Talbot]

I would sway (literally) towards the neighbours.

[Bluestone]

Lol Trigger. That is the most likely to happen!

The evenings around november the 5th are pretty good too we can see right across the city towards Sutton and as far as oldbury and the airport
so we see the lot... usually wrapped in dressingowns with hot dogs and hot drinks...

[Bluestone]

Talbot, yeah but I won't know anyone... apart from the neighbor. Maybe I should opt for number one and then, once the gin's kicked in, go with number 4 :P

[Bluestone]

Right. There's now another option...

5. Head to Rowan's, with dressing gown :-)

[ummmm]

Probably go to the pub. It's my uncles pub, I get served.

[Bluestone]

Ah, lucky you!
That's what does my head in, trying to get to the bar.

[ummmm]

My sons will be working in the pub so seems best place to be.

[rowanwitch]

could be fun new years party with mulled wine, boozy hot chocolate, and whisky toddies

[Bluestone]

Yep, definitely sounds like a good idea Ummmm :-)

Rowan, I'll get started on the invites! :))

Las Vegas Baby

[Bluestone]

Are you? Really? You haven't mentioned it.... :P

I am seriously envious!

Right. Gotta go...

1. For us. A DVD bought for the occasion, a bottle of madeira, a tin of sweets and the BBC at midnight. Warm, cosy and safe.

I've always assumed the Edinburgh/London option involves lots of waiting in the cold for a few "dongs" and fireworks. The parents option is not good, better to see them at Christmas or another time and as for the neighbours, what are they doing leaving you off the guest list?

I've been invited to a friends house for dinner but I'm not sure if I can be bothered.

I think I might just spend it home alone, I might be pleasantly surprised by something decent being on the TV........
