Ello Saz! xx Ignore what the original thread was about How's you? You going home for Christmas?

I'll forget that then Shall I!....Ho ho ho!!...........

Yes It's nothing really, just something that has now grated on my last nerve. Anyway, moving on!

*deletes reply to original thread*


It took me 10 minutes to formulate that reply an' all

I didn't see! You were too quick

Going back on the 18th, getting excited now

Oh Rexi you still can I'm just in a bad mood. Have not had the best of days. But please feel free, I'm sorry x

Awww that's wicked I am hoping I'll be back to work early Jan and with any luck will be flying around for New Years (all going well).What you doing for New Years?

Well ... I spent a long time thinking about it - then I wrote 'I dunno'


So it wouldn't have been much help anyways

Just keep smiling

Will do  xxx Life's too short

It is too short Karma!!..........tell em to eff orf...whoever it is upsettin ya..
Poke em in the eye too ...if it helps!

I haven't seen the original thread but I am not a great fan of Christmas, mainly because I usually work some or all of it.

Gawd, no idea yet... we were talking about going away to Cornwall for a few days, but everything is so expensive I've told his nibbs to come up with an idea

We might get to do that lunch in the new year then

Stupid comment box telling me it hadn't posted when it had 3 copies of my post it did, it wasn't that bloody interesting!

Mate as SOON as I'm back on my feet I'll be like road runner The Norhern Line's gonna take a battering And we deffo will, Tapas xx

meep meep

That's the only thing, it costs a bomb on NYE. Saz, you have to do Trafalgar at some point, the atmosphere is electric and it's free buses all night.

Deman my dignity left me in 1998

I did Trafalgar Square on NYE once, and got my purse nicked. Be careful..

B said its packed and there are lots of pukey people... I have pukophobia

That's the only shite thing about it, you gotta watch your belongings. But then it's like if you go to Carnival, you hide it all. Shouldn't  bloody have to though. It's disgusting.

When I used to go you were allowed to drink (legally) and it was rowdy. But I think they've really tightened up on stuff now and enhanced police presence and it's usually fairly quiet. I wouldn't hesitate to go again, maybe it's cos I know it well I dunno, but you can have a really good time for next to nothing and it's always a good plan B if Plans A, A1, A2, A3 or A4 dont work out

I like being indoors, in the warm, on NYE. Like Saz, I also hate seeing anyone puking. Guaranteed to make me want to join in, even if I'm stone cold sober.
I'm likely to be sober this year, too. I just can't drink much these days and if I have a hangover, it takes three days to get over it. I think it's the pernicious anaemia - it's turned me into a lightweight!

Oh God I cant do hangovers either. I'm one of these who didn't know when to stop. Will go out the door looking like I'm out for the night with Prince William and come back looking like Ive been out with Pete Docherty. And then I spend the next 4 hours in the loo swearing blind I'll never ever drink again, making all sorts of promises to God if he can just get me out of this mess and calling for my mum

If I drink now (which I haven't in months *sobs*) I know when to stop.(I think)

 Karma if you are down.

Aww bless ya PB, I'm alright thanks xx Just been a bit of a shit time lately, but the end is in sight so it's all good.

I'm not really that much of a NYE person, its just another day to me... might go out for a nice dinner then head back to share a bottle of bubbly in the warm and watch the fireworks on the telly

Awww hope you're okay mate And a Merry Christmas to one and all

That sounds like a top idea to me, Saz.
Karma, I hear you, sister.

Sorry to hijack the thread for a minute, but have you seen Alison Weir's book about the fall of Anne Boleyn...it's called The Lady in the Tower

I'll go now

No! I lurve Alison Weir , thanks Kaytee

(sorry Karma )

 

I've always thought that people think I'm boring for not wanting to do New Year stuff...

Not at all. I don't really like New Year, and I'd much rather spend it my own way than feel obliged to pay to get into a pub full of pissheads and forced bonhomie!

I agree with you.  If there's any time of year I loathe more than Christmas Day, it's New Year's Eve. Now that I'm older, I'm so glad I don't feel obliged to see in the new year in a pub full of drunk smelly people and having to kiss complete strangers.  I'm alway very relieved when Christmas and new year is over. 

Don't be soft! *tries to remember who Anne Boleyn is*
