Who else is having a 'quiet' night in, through choice or otherwise.. Why aren't you going out to spend a load of cash in town, to a friends party, or just to generally wander the streets in a drunken stupor..?!

Me, I'll be staying in due to my three-and-a-half year old not being allowed into licensed premises yet.. :rolleyes: Last time I was out on a New Years Eve was four years ago in 2001 when I worked, and got paid a bleedin' fortune for it :)

Exciting stuff, might get half cut, and watch Jools Holland :P Hold onto your hats!

I'm not going out, I want some quiet time, just the two of us and come midnight we shall toast in the new year together with a bottle of Champers :)

Well I'll recognise your efforts, Bob.. been there many a time indeed. Are you working in the service industry by any chance.. dealing with the revellers tonight? :) The only recompense being the triple time!

We am not going out, because we have a three-week-old baby, who will doubtless be woken by the barrage of fireworks at midnight, five minutes after we have got her to sleep.:help:

Happy New Year everyone!

Let me send lots of appreciation to you Bob and the other unsung 'grafters' who keep the wheels turning. Cheers:thumbsup:

I'm a sad git with no mates.

So I'll be in.

im staying in cos my boyfriend has decided that now is a good time to plaster the kitchen

tell him to get plastered in the kitchen.
a much better idea:clap:

im past going out


erm i mean
its a bit awkward with 2 young kids and no babysitter :P

i agree but i think im gonna dunk his head in the plaster ... that sounds better to me

that sounds better to me
yep me too:thumbsup:

Well, you guys might think us completely sad, but hubsta and I got invited to 3 parties,.........but have decided to have a quiet night in instead!

Glad to hear we are not alone!! We are staying home too with the kids.. Will pop outside nearer to midnight and see it in with the neighbours though!! Probably be in bed at 12:05am hehe... Might even see new year in with a bang!! ;) hehe

Just another night...

Well except for the hideously inflated prices and the legions of bells out on the town.

Im stayin in..

a good 50 weeks of the year i spend friday.saturday and some sundays in pubs........playing music and enjoying it (most of the time) but tonight i find myself unemployed and i'm loving it.......watching tele drinking lager reading the forum and no doubt will order a ruby later....bliss

just a shame the missis stopped in aswell:|



:hihi: :hihi: :hihi:

I'm incredibly hungover from the last 3 nights.

Having a birthday 2 days before new years's eve is always a sod, this is the second time i've drank myself into such a state the night before all I've been able to do is curl up in a dark room with the tv.

Plus public transport is ridiculous, reminds me why I love city centre living when I'm at uni, no buses that decide to not come at after 4pm.

I'm gonna watch the DvDs I got for christmas, have a beer and a burger, shoot some stuff on Quake 4 and see if any good films are on the telly.

Man, I knew 22 was a year you felt old :(

Wilf

Really nasty cold is 1st excuse. Second is, Just cant afford it.:mad:

I am all for the Forum party though - I trust there are plenty of cheese and pickled onions on sticks? are there any soft drinks?

Sorry Madowl - not much good at dancing, I am afraid - I will join in a bit later, when the party warms up!

Me and Mr Strix both have colds - happens every year :gag:

Too much dashing around the country visiting other people seems to burn us out :(

I'm staying in wtih my husband because we met on 'minellyum' eve as I like to call it and it is our 6 year anniversary.

quiet nite but sadly no excuses!

staying in alone, got no-one to go out with, plus cant afford it anyway

no good being alone but hey its just another nite, dont u worry.....its over rated unless u r in either a special place or with a special some one

I'm in tonight too with my 10 month old son, did have a babysitter sorted out but split up with boyfriend 2 weeks ago so don't have anyone to go out with *sniff sniff*

Roll on 2006 and a Happy New Year to all you folks in Sheffield, by hell i miss you all, think i'll come back 2006!!

Not that kind of thing tut.. I went out nothing else happened
lol

My fella is unfortunately in hospital. So I'm staying at home.

This is the first time since I was 17 years old that I haven't been down the pub on new years eve:wow:

I only get out for two pints since our son was born in August, so hardly worth the struggle in busy pubs, plus the walk back from my locals includes 10 mins of 'Everest' country and no buses.

Anyway Mrs Draggle is catching up on some much needed sleep so I am on 'dummy' and lullaby alert :)


:partyhat:Happy new year everyone! :partyhat:

For your information im not sulkin lol..Where did ya get that from? I had a good night last night im not bothered about tonight :P

this is wat new years all about... wathcin match of day. woooooo :(

Have just finished putting some flat-pack storage units together and am now having a well deserved whisky. Maybe I'd have understood the instructions better if I'd had the whisky first! Still, the units are looking more attractive by the minute-alcohol makes even Argos look good.

i cant stand new year all it is is an excuse to get ****** and its the same every year to me its just another day.:rant:

haoy new year nwey

Happy New Year !

Was outside for midnight on the pretence of putting washing in the dryer ;) Here's a double vodka raised to you all..

Many good wishes for 2006 - may it bring the very best for you and yours! :)

im definately a dog ;)

I went for a meal in the evening last night, but I didn't go out at midnight or anything. Reasons... well, I hadn't booked anywhere, most places I knew of were expensive, mum wanted to spend new years eve with me, no one to go out with or no one to invite me to a party, and also I was kinda tired. Ah well.

Sorry you took that out of meaning. I meant evry person meets with success in their life at some point.
Is that PC enough?
Anyway happy New Year:D

oh I weren;t having a go! and im as un-PC as they come, just trying to make light of the situation I find myself in at 1:54 in the morning!

Didn't mean anything by it honestly hehe

We did not go out due to a 5 year old and a 3 year old with no babysitter, oh and the missus was on call last night helping all you drunks get out of Sheffields finest police cells :clap:
And yup, sure enough, phone went and she was off out at 2am this morning :loopy:

But Bob comes out when the wheels STOP turning.

I was yet another working last night, but I did get a little bit merry and had a damn good time :clap:

i had a quiet night in as i had no money and no babysitter:(



happy new year to you all:D

God I wish I had stayed in last night.... ooo my head

:gag: Just woke up. NY resolution. No more alcohol for a while :D

did you write your signature at the same time? :P

Haven't been out on NYE since our kids had kids of their own, 16 years now :)

So we had a housefull of kids last night, - just got back from delivering the last of them, - but they did us a favour by scoffing most of the chocolate that had piled up over Christmas :P

I must be getting old.
Had been invited to a party but turned it down. Went out into Sheffield in the afternoon but my friend and i couldn't time it right to meet up with another group of friends so that didn't come off.
Went home, tried to get in my local but it was ticket only, went to a decent pub for a drink but miles from friend's house so we drove back to hers and walked to the pub at the bottom of her road.
After an hour we were bored and fed up with the smoke and having to stand, she had champagne back at hers and we weren't talking to anyone but each other so we decided we could do that in the comfort of her place, drink the champers and sing along to Jools Holland. So we went back to hers for midnight and both said, a bit guiltily that we were glad we had - lol!
Will save my big night out for next Saturday. Too much pressure to enjoy new year. Have said next new year though will definitely go away.
