Thank you for making me smile Avitorl - I think I will join your virtually on the sofa to watch Rik!

I intend to watch Rick Astley on BBC TV,you are welcome to join me!
Perhaps your friends just fancied a quiet non event night? I think a lot of people haven't been feeling very festive this year.I hope 2024 will be an improvement on 2023

Hi

I’ve been divorced a long time and normally get invited to spend NYE with my best friend and her husband which I have done for about the last 15 years.
However this year I have not been invited. I did ask her what she was doing and she did t reply and then mentioned a few weeks later that they might be going away. I know they haven’t gone away and they clearly just didn’t want to ask me.

I know I have no right to expect to be invited to their house but I am really hurt. I am also not used to spending NYE on my own and feel very lonely and sorry for myself. I know it’s just another night.

Anyway for anyone else spending it on your own like me have a nice night and here’s to a fresh start in 2024.
