New Year

So what has everyone got planned for the New Year   

Nowt    just staying in with the dogs trying to distract them from the fireworks that will more than likely be going off    

Hubby will be working New Years eve and day as usual   

I used to love going out or having a house party on New Years Eve before we had the dogs    

Im just going out for a few drinks with Dad and Richard then back to Dads for a couple to see the new year in got 5 or 6 on new years day for meal..

Doubt we will be doing much either

Can't really get into the mood this year it hasn't felt like Christmas and it certainly doesn't feel like New Year's Eve tomorrow

Might do something next year

I love crimbo not a big new year person

I thought all Scots loved New Year   

I used to love going to my Aunts in Erskine for New Year     

Not doing anything,will be having a quiet night in with the dogs.   

Not sure what were doing tbh... Quiet night in trying to stay wake lol ... Was thinking about getting some silent fireworks for tia ....

New Year's Eve is for the young uns ... If it was in summer it might be better lol!!

  Silent fireworks      never heard of them before    

    yes New Years Eve is more for the young uns nowadays    
I do like to have a good house party for family and friends tho    

We had a brill one for 2000      because all the pubs were charging admission just because it was the millennium year we decided to throw a house party at the last minute   
All our family and friends came with the kids aswell and it was a great night    
We even got to know some of the neighbours better inviting them so they didnt complain about the noise Everyone turned up laden with booze and food    The adults all partied away while the kids took over one of the bedrooms having playstation battles and face painting   

Wow sounds amazing not sure how I would cope with all those people and kids in the house though


Yes these are family friendly fireworks, very little sound to them....we put the dogs in the living room shut all the doors and had them down the bottom of the garden, they only lasted 30 seconds but it was enough

  yes it was   

Unfortunately im a boring old fart now so stayed in and watched the fireworks on the telly   

Id love to go down to London or up to Edinburgh for New Year   

Edinburgh is great at New Year but you don't appreciate where you stay and I done the street party years ago when I was younger doesn't appeal to me now.....lol

Usually go to my friends she has a house party but just felt as my Dad is 81 in Feb should see him just after the bells which he was really pleased about just a pity im choked with the damn cold so feeling crap.

Got my Cola ham on just now and roast beef in the oven, lentil soup made, veg all prepped and just the steak pies to make later on.

So sitting on my fat butt the now....lol

Yes the steak pies    thats a very scottish tradition i think   

Id never heard of it before staying with my aunt   

Its to line your stomach before all the heavy drinking isn't it    

Oooh steak pies nom nom
