Ok who is staying up too see in the new year?
If you are what have you planned?

We're awake.

Just had some fun with youngest daughter and her boyfriend who are home for a few days.

They've gone up to bed.

Me and the small dog are ready to watch the London Fireworks.

Mr Minty is 'just resting his eyes' after a glass (or two) of something

Happy New Year texts exchanged with family members, and now enjoying first grump of 2020. It's not "for THE SAKE OF auld lang syne" dire singer on BBC1; it's "for auld lang syne". This ranks with "Britannia ruleS the waves" on the last night of the Proms.

Happy New Year, everyone.

I'm not sure if it's dispiriting Eloethan - we were just relieved we weren't there amongst all those crowds!

Happy New Year everyone

Happy New Year everyone.
Mixed feelings but hey ho I would love to be at the fireworks in London rather than see them on tv.
Cats kissed
Hot chocolate made
A big glug of wine left
Kettle on for my hot water bottle.

Time to look forward ?

Happy New Year to you all. We’ve just got into bed at our country house hotel after a gourmet meal, and it really was! Celebrations with party poppers, hats, music, dancing etc followed, but we chickened out at just gone twelve, and came back to our room. May 2020 bring you all whatever you wish for.

Happy New Year ,watching BBC Alba which has brilliant music. All other channels very disappointing. Ive watched BBC Alba for about the past 2 Hogmanays, the music is cheery. I did watch the Edinburgh fireworks which were lovely, but the music was awful. It was like someone had left the microphones on by mistake. Anyway, enough moaning. I hope 2020 is good to everyone on Gransnet.

Just rolled in from our celebrations, which were lovely. Our 1 o’clock taxi never arrived, but we managed to flag down another which brought us safely home. Feeling well fed and watered and ready for bed now. smile

Good night and Happy New Year, all!

I did not celebrate either. I really don't feel jolly. I got into bed and slept quite well for a change.

Not me, I could not be bothered and there is zilch on TV to entice me. yes, I know- I am totally miserable and loving it
Charleygirl15 Happy New Year, BUDDY! grin Still got the grumps?! I have the perfect solution, having recently laughed myself silly watching, on YouTube, Alf Garnett in "Till Death do us Part" and other classics. grin
Say what you like about PC, but those programmes were very well written and extremely funny! grin
After all, what you do in your own home to "eliminate the negative" is nobody else's business. grin
Here's a little New Year Resolution; "I must be more positive"
Found it in a cracker! grin

I didn't plan to stay up but the cat and dog were panicking. The fireworks here started about 7.30 and went on until 12.45!

We go to bed quite early, but I was wakened at midnight by crashes and bangs. I thought someone was trying to break into our house at first shock.
Then I bravely looked out of the window to check and it dawned on me - a firework display in town, very pretty.
Husband never heard a thing.
Wishing everyone a good New Year.

Being the OP I’ve just realised I’ve not put mine down!!
Very rarely stay up...hubby did ask if I wanted to go out...we sat in doors me with book and hubby on his lpad playing snooker!
Was in bed by 10pm and didn’t hear a thing all night.
I’d like to wish you all a happy new year and may 2020 be kind too you x
