^ I echo syd & rexi's sentiments! We usually go out for a meal and be home by 11pm, open some drinkie and see in the new year in our pj's This year we've decided to stay in, just us with good food, a few drinks and watch the hootenanny! I dare say I'll be lurking on here too, and why not, since I call in most evenings throughout the year

He'll still be asking me at Easter if i've still got them 

staying in,watching tv..uk gold looks the fave at the mo..have a takeaway,few buds,watch big ben then bed..

 

then new years day strut around the house being smug as the spongettes nurse their hangovers

Takeaway, Jools (but turn to BBC or STV for the bells), perfect G & T ready for midnight... open the curtains.. see if I can see the fireworks from Edinburgh (I can usually see the glow at least) then back to telly... no visitors (first footing ain't what it used to be for which I've become glad as I've got older)  Probably bob on and off here like I do every night.     New Year's Day I'll be out for dinner at my sister's and will probably see the rest of the family there New Year's night for the usual games and drinkies.      Tree down on the 2nd and back to 'auld claes and parrridge'    I'm almost ready to go back to work now.  Sad cow.

The same here  i'll be laughing at little Aims suffering after the party she's going too 

Going OUT.  This is mine and Mr. Cosi's night.

We've fed, watered, entertained and nursed the hordes through both Christmas and Boxing Day, so it's now our turn.  All the kids are grown up and doing their own thing, so no guilt trips here.

 

Off to our favourite restaurant with friends.  When the dinner is over they then crank up the music and everyone has a good old knee's up.  It's by invite only which makes the 'mix' very sociable - no strangers or oddballs lurking.  They set off fireworks on the beach at midnight (which can be a bit precarious if it's windy )  and then carry on with more partying back at the restaurant until around 3am.

 

New Year's Day is usually spent in recovery.

 

That sounds like a good night, Cos.   

I'm ordering an Indian 

Usually is, Baffers   Loads of mad Italians enjoying themselves is a sight to behold

 

 

An Indian what though...? 

 

 

If we weren't going out I'd get a take-away and maybe ask a few close mates round.

We'd probably stick on Jools to see in the New Year.  I like evenings like that;  ones that have no plans but end up being a good time anyway

Meal    

 

Yeah, they're good 

 

Thought it prudent to ask.............

I could see why you would be confused 

...and nosey too!

 

Save me a bit of naan; it may come in handy soaking up any excesses that I may imbibe

No naans, just popadoms. Should I order naan too? 

Peshwari please   A dollop of sag aloo on top wouldn't go amiss either

PMSL! Done! Just for you 

I could eat chicken tikka now

Hang on 'til NY day and you can have a bit of my Peshwari naan and sag aloo if you like?

But I'm not ordering that........and anyways..........not untill tomorrow night 

i had lamb bhuna earlier.  I'm still stuffed.

 

Back to new year... i always see it in with Jools, but can't be doing with the fake countdown - i need to watch that bit live.

 

My niece's mate was at the recording of Jools this year (lucky sod) she met Cyndi Lauper, Aloe Blacc and James Morrison (and told him she loved him - even though she can't stand him 'but I was pissed eh?' was her comment )

Now if I was pishfull'd to the eyeballs and happened to meet Louis Walsh (please god may this never, ever happen),  I'd tell him the truth!

 

*prays that I'm there if Cos ever meets Louis*

 

... and I don't think she'd need to be pished either.

Work, work, work, though I am on an early finish!!!! then home for party food and plenty to drink  We have indian chicken skewers

 

I think there will be many a drunk post on here!

 

Perhaps we should order a Phal in case he turns up in this thread tomorrow?

I'd happily force feed the little *!@#*!

Here's hoping that you have a much, much better year in 2012 GJ

Thanks! etc.

I plan to sit here, listen to Jules, eat, drink and get all awkward at midnight when O/H & I kiss........

That's after daughter clears all her make-up off the kitchen table of course........... 

stuffed my face with a chinese already.. looking through crap tv for summat to watch.. will probs go to bed soon,,,,

Nooooo, we must do the New Years Conga through the threads first..........  

 Nice meal, some champagne and we plan to crack open the boxed set of the West Wing ....can't wait!   We've no-one coming tomorrow so we'll just continue on the same theme then as well.

I'll be here... but  have been on the port, so I may need a shake come five minutes to New year 

Pj's on, Richard Gere and Sean Connery of the TV..... and of course you all

 sounds good to me Hoochie, will you have the awkward midnight kiss too?
