You lot have made me smile.... suddenly New Years Eve doesn't seem so bad. Only another 85 minutes and it's all over for another year :)

Mac.....don't you dare moan and groan.... I need you to lighten my life :)

Budge up you lot, I'm a miserable grumpy whatsit as well ! I have always hated New Year and try and be in bed with a good book before midnight.
I must admit I've had a couple of glasses of wine and because of my meds I'm wasted and I'm soon off to bed - that's if I can sleep through the ****ing fireworks!!! LOL
Sending you all a big (((HUG))) and hoping for good health for us all in 2009.
Love Viv

Me too I am afraid. Cannot stand all the who-ha that the new year comes with it. OH has had us going out getting nibbles from M&S for a little platter to welcome in the new year! I would rather be in bed fast asleep. But as I am being forced to be awake will do my duty and be a pain in the arse and get some saucepans and clang them together to annoy the neighbours pmsl!

I find it very very depresssing, I always think of the people that I would like to be here that are not and then the new year means another year older *glum, glum glum*. lol

Happy New Year to you anyway Jean ((((((hugs))))))

This Mrs Grumpy has just looked in on my way to Bed. Bl... y back has seized up on me again for the second time in 3 weeks. took 10 days the first time to get it back supple again and only took a walk around the supermarket yesterday for it to spasm again and seize up from the waist down to the me bum. Is agony to try and stand as is so stiff and gets locked up sitting.
Good start to the New Year lol

I wish I could take it away for you - let's all wish for a pain free New Year for you

Not silly, MM. A sentiment shared by many I should think. I feel a bit of nervousness going into a new year. That feeling of wondering what the new year will bring. It's silly because it really is just going from one day to the next but it always feels like a new beginning.

I too hate New Years Eve. For some reason that I cannot explain it makes me really depressed and likely to burst into tears at any moment. I don't know whether it is regret at all the things I could have done in my younger days but now can't or whether it is the realisation that my life is passing by remarkabaly quickly and yet I am not 'enjoying' it in the way I know I should. I do shake myself and count my blessings but I can never shake off the feeling of sadness and depression. Silly thing is, I'm fine on 1st January. Silly I know.

too bloody cold anyway Mac and it's probably frozen over to boot - you and I couldn't get anything right could we!!! Best leave it till the warmer weather eh!!!!

You are a character OG. You Jean, as much as I love you, are a right twisted old bag. Now where have I heard that before? Mmmmmm;))

Oh Mac -poor you - I think it's a coach trip down to the river for the lot of us by the look of it!!!!

Jean,
I don't suppose THEY know what they're celebrating - just an excuse to set off some depth charges!!!

Thanks for reminding me about the fireworks, I have just checked the cat is in.

I'll probably be in bed watching tv, with hubby snoring away alongside.

Hi Mick, they're a joy aren't they?

I have some vacuuming and a spot of drilling that needs doing ...................................
Do I do it tonight or 8:30 tomorrow morning?.................

Bit late tonight, better leave it until the morning LOL

I must be missing something here.... why fireworks.... what is being celebrated... the end of the old year or the start of the new.

Jean x.

how do you tact fully convey your consideration that your neighbours have a right to listen to THEIR music as loud as they wish, but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE could they keep it all THEIR side of the wall?

I have similar neighbours to Maggie, I reckon........

Bob

I can't stand it either - sitting here on my own, feeling pretty glum I must say - if it wasn't so cold I'd go out for a walk - I usually walk down to the local church and pop in through the gate to stand by my lovely OH's stone and tell him how much I miss him and how rotten life is without him. Then weep all the way back home - a misery guts I know, but I can't wait for the New Year to come and for Spring to start breaking through again

OMG.
thought a car with a 'boom bass' thingy was parked outside. then it carried on, so I went downstairs to see if it was on TV.
Unfortunately it isn't - it's next door!!!! I can even hear the wailing that's accompanying the incessant thumping!!!

No early night for me, then.

*I wonder how loud my TV goes*?

Fireworks started over an hour ago here.

I love the one where Mrs Doyle falls out of the window - I could watch just that scene for hours and still laugh!!!
