The first day of the last year of the first decade of the 21st century.

Happy new year, Jean, and everyone.

now if I had somewhere to go out to and someone to go out with (if ya catch my drift) then I would be sooo excited about NYE, but same old same old, sitting indoors with the kids and not knowing if they will or won't make it til midnight - hmmm hardly soul stirring stuff lol

and (here I go opening another can of worms ... ) although the fireworks are fantastic and look stunning ... I can't help thinking of all the things that money would be better spent on

sorry lol

Joins Jeans club lol!

We will probably be awake but dont go out, even if we could get a sitter, it just doesnt appeal! We like quiet counrty pubs, not packed nightclubs, boy do I sound old!!

*Makes space on the sorry sod bench & sits down*

No parties, no invites, nothing much on telly..kids playing consoles in their rooms, hubby watching sport channel & muggins on here.

At least we have some cakes & nibbles so thats a bonus :o))

Happy Nude Rear everyone :o))

ps

flaming masterminds just started *Groans*

Roll on summer :o)))

Do you think we demand that it (New Year's Eve) is delayed for a couple of days next year we could get away with missing it altogether? ))))

I'm not doing anything (as usual) have to stay in and clam the cats (or even calm them! LOL) when the frigin' fireworks start!!!!
What's worse are those dreadful New Year programmes!
Thank goodness there's a double dose of Father Ted that spans midnight.
Too damn cold to go out anyway.

*Bah Humbug*

Me too hate New Year....so will be under the duvet well before midnight

I love Father Ted !

"Aaah go on Father, have a cup of Tea.....aaah go on....
..........go on, go on, go on "

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

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 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

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........

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

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

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.

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

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!!!!

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;))

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!!!!

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.
