New Years Eve

[genius101]

Anyone got any good ideas on what to do NYE???

Trying to rule out the usual getting drunk and wanting to spend it with the man in my life what is there to do?

[devilwoman]

have sex
have a party
change your life.
paint the house green
stop smoking
go on a diet.
dress up and go to someones house with a bottle of wine and wish them a happy new year.
or have a drive to the park and have a play on the swings. and a midnight picnic.

If you're going to do the first on devilwoman's list, disconnect the doorbell first.

Last year, twenty past midnight, our neighbour (and very good friend, fortunately) rang the bloomin' doorbell. He's a lary so-and-so at the best of times and I'd have thought him and his missus might be celebrating in a similar way.

Boy, was he embarrassed when we told him what he'd interrupted!

I dunno what i'm more desturbed by sexy jag, the fact you even answered your doorbell considering what you were doing or the fact you told your neighbour what you were doing!!!

... and you were only watching Jools Holland?

Well, it was actually hubby who answered the door. There'd been a couple of problems in the neighbourhood involving the law, so we couldn't really ignore it. And all he told the neighbour was that we'd gone to bed. Neighbour (typically) used his limited imagination - which happened to be accurate on that occasion.

Like I said, we have few secrets from that particular set of neighbours - been away with them and all sorts - they're every good mates. Otherwise he wouldn't even have rang the bell.

Like I said, this year we're taking the batteries out of the doorbell.

To get back to the question ... why don't you want to spend NYE with 'the man in your life'?

[Higgerant]

Well, Denisdenis, she's done that before, and wanted to do something new. Devilwoman's 7th suggestion is a good idea, frequently done here in Scotland.

Sorry let me re-phrase I want to rule out getting drunk with the girls and actually spend it with my man...

The suggestions above are good but I want to vary the night from a normal night at home.... :-)

How about finding a nice quiet restaurant (trust me there are some) that is doing a special NYE dinner, so you can be thoroughly spoilt, have a lovely 5 or 6 course dinner, share a restrained but happy environment with other diners and spend the evening gazing into his eyes?

PS, if you can get him to pay, so much the better! ;-)
