new years eve

[stevewool]

what do you like to do new years eve, in my old life was to throw a party seemed to be always us but they were good drinking and eating and dancing, towards the end off that old life they did become boring and thats when you think i would rather be in the house a good film and then bed when you wanted to go to bed, sometimes i thought would be nice to be away fro new year too, well the last few years of my new life i have done those things , staying at home watching joels holland and enjoying that, last year in manila for new year that too was great,but is it the older you get the more quite you want to be , say a few friends and nice food and just talking with back ground music , not the full on stupid look at me thing , well thats just me a grumpy old man thinking out aloud, a happy new yaer everyone and just looking what i wrote , may start to write in paragraphs soon :icon_lol::icon_lol::icon_lol:

I'm with Stevewool on this one. :xxgrinning--00xx3:
I used to enjoy those mad crazy New Years Eve parties.
These days, for me, I just feel it's overated and over-hyped.

The past few years just stayed at home with my wife and a couple of like-minded friends.
Eating some great tasty food along with some nice wine or bottle of champers.

Well that's what we'll be doing again tonight.
Boring ??
Maybe it is for some. But for me it's the perfect way to see in the new year. ;)
Watch the countdown on TV and of course the fireworks. Then kiss someone I really want to. :D

We can spend time together reflecting on the past year, remembering friends, the happy times and making plans for the new year to come. Who knows what it will bring.

I'm not a grumpy old man. I just enjoy being relaxed and happy in familiar surroundings. :)

Now where's my pipe and slippers..? :D

I hate going out New Years Eve these days, much prefer to stay in.

I've had some great times going out, but equally some bad ones too. Too many get so drunk, they become maudlin & want to pick a fight. :NoNo:...Then there is all those desperate people trying to find someone to kiss...URRGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!! A terrible hangover the next day...No thanks....very overrated. :action-smiley-081:

[stevewool]

, emma just wants to see the new year in on cam from the phils and talk to her sister there then we shall cook and have a fun night ourselves

[KeithD]

I prefer to snuggle up outside next to the bonfire of old tyres, and watch the homemade fireworls go off.... usually Mancs set on fire :D

Happy birthday Tomboo and Happy New Year to everyone :xxgrinning--00xx3:
Spent two hours so far talking to filiipina friends - lucky me :icon_lol: - then tonight will have a meal at my brother's, after that seeing in the New Year at my local bar which is 2 minutes' walk from my apartment. The Health Club and swimming pool is 5 minutes' walk but it's closed anyway so I have no choice ! In the New Year a good topic could be Alcohol :yikes: (

I too wish you a very happy 40th b'day :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Life begins tomorrow. Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of your life.

Advice from an old guy like me is to always live your life with a dream. Don't think about all the dreams you already realised in the past, always have another dream to go.
Once you stop dreaming life becomes so boring and mundane.
Happy b'day and happy new year
God Bless all there
Think only about the future tomboo. that's where you'll spend the rest of your life

"If you don't have a dream, then how you gonna have a dream come true"...as the song goes :)

Dreams are illustrations... from the book your soul is writing about you.

Going into London in a while to watch the fireworks :)

Feeling a little down, as on my own and my boy doesn't get back from Sweden until the 3rd. :cwm3:

He did send me a nice happy new year's message though, and said he'd had SEAL for Xmas dinner at his mother's. :Erm:

I've got some rum, but not Tanduay unfortunately, so will have a little drink or two.

Happy New Year to all. :)

[aposhark]

Happy New Year to everyone here :Jump:

[les_taxi]

Happy new year to all from me as well:)

Lets face it many of us on almost two weeks of holidays to be honest i couldn't even remember what day it was so at first:rolleyes: We didn't bother and the Wife was working new year day so we stayed in saved the money and will have a slap up meal with friends at normal rates over the weekend. More people can make this dinner than on the night for many reasons (baby sitters, obligations, poor value and bonkers COST mainly)

Many i can remember being stressed out about making sure they celebrated like they do with Christmas!! When you take that pressure off its often far more fun:) If your out your out if your indoors no problem if you doze off at midnight oh well:D

Can remember wasting a lot of money on New years eve paying hyped up prices. But no more for me save it for another day and have a better time:xxgrinning--00xx3:

The money we saved by not being ott at Chrimbo and NYE we used on parcels and remittance to help the family in Phill have a special time where it is still a special holiday, treat and a good time.

Lets face it many in the UK eat and drink like its Christmas day and NYE most weekends :rolleyes::D

[gWaPito]

2 weeks off at Christmas! Not where I work. That period is a holiday ban. We are allowed to take off up to 6 weeks in one go if we so wish during the not so busy times like January to March and October to mid December which works out just fine for the Philippines. I agree with 'somebody' on his thoughts of Christmas and New Year

[stevewool]

the best thing about having nearly two weeks off at xmas i can fly out anywhere and for a month and just using another 2 weeks from my holidays ,great :xxgrinning--00xx3:
