Only 55 mins to go and I'll be seeing 2026 in for those of you who are getting their beauty sleep! Happy new year GNetters!

I’m in bed too and will be settling down soon and then be grumpy when the fireworks wake me up at midnight!

Mind you they’ve been going off since about 9pm so hopefully there’ll be none left by then!

Yes staying up with a few glasses of Prosecco. I'm 76, DH is 80 in March. Who knows how long we have to enjoy the celebrations.

Nope... lights out here soon after a read of my book. Grandma70s...let's hope we are both not disturbed by the fireworks!

I’m already in bed, 10.40, and am going to put the light out in a minute, and try to go to sleep as normal. I’ll probably be woken at midnight by fireworks, annoyingly. I do remember that when I was a young teenager it felt very exciting to stay up till midnight. Now, I just want as much sleep as I can get. I’m grateful nobody expects me to go to parties anymore. I’ve never really seen the point of celebrating New Year anyway.

I'm normally in bed for 9pm because I'm an early riser and start getting sleepy around 8pm. But tonight I'm trying to stay up till midnight. Not gone well so far, already spilt my wine over me when I dozed off lol. Thank goodness it was white wine and my sofa has a cover. I'm not really a drinker so it probably wasn't the best idea to have wine when trying to stay awake 🤣 At least I'm feeling pretty awake now. Happy New Year everyone, hope it's amazing for you x
