For the past 5 years i've either been pregnant or breastfeeding (still breastfeeding now) so our new years have very uneventful. In bed before midnight most years i think. This year we are getting together with friends but the logistics of sleeping 3 children somewhere and where we will sleep is all a bit of a pain in the backside. So much easier to just say we'll stay home again. I'll enjoy my 1 drink of the night once DD is down and then watch everyone else have fun.
Maybe i could sneak away somewhere and watch the sex and the city marathon....
Working an early shift then to friends for a BBQ at sandhurst, most likely be home before midnight and put kids to bed then watch fireworks on TV or stand out front and watch bits of fireworks from city.
As this is our last one childless, we are off to a party at my brothers. Starting with a BBQ and then everyone else can drink and me and the other PG girl will probably fall asleep on the couch. DH can wake me up when he is ready to go home. Best of both world for us both. He can enjoy a few bevvies and I can guiltfree fall asleep cause its family hehe.
We are doing a camel ride around uluru to watch the sunset, then camping out on a sandune with some alcohol free bubbly and nibbles and watching the early fireworks over the rock which will be amazing.
Chilled and relaxed and very country (where else can you wear a cowboy hat on New years eve and be perfectly in fashion?)
Hosting a middle east inspired dinner with mainly family and a couple of friends. We usually eat, talk, be silly, drink a little too much. We'll listen to music outside then listen or watch the countdown on the t.v. then retire to bed.
Not sure yet... Might be at a friend's place in their pool for a bit or DHs bestie might be over for a few quiet beers (softies for me) cause his wife, a professional violinist, is performing that night. Either way, I'll be in bed way before midnight and I don't think DH is too fussed about staying up for it either :P one thing I always TRY to avoid on NYE is being out on the roads.
Hopefully I'll be having friends over for a barbecue, but if no-one rsvps, I'm heading to the city If they show up, too bad for them, they should've told me!
Op I think about taking DD to the fireworks every year but its so much hassle getting in and out of the city and I do think its going to be too hot this year.
DH being a shift worker is working so it will just be me and the little girl so we are going to our cousins place out in the country and relax with family (and their pool). We will just head home at whatever time the kids (I think I will have my sisters two kids as well as she is working) have had enough but its sure to be before midnight....
Making the most of my brothers 31st floor studio apartment on Southbank he only has it for a couple more weeks, NYE last year was great there - and this year I am not pregnant so even better - so picnic on 10th floor grass, up to flat for 11ish for great view of midnight fireworks. Between us we will have 3 x 2.5 year olds a 9 month old and a 5 month old - no real plan on what we will do with them sleep wise just will play it by ear - is only one night of the year. We will stay over as well (bro in UK) so don't have to traipse home and can do fun stuff in the city on New Years Day too. Just hoping is less windy than last year, it was so hot and windy was like being in front of a hair dryer.
Just made 30 arancini balls for tomorrow night. After getting home from work at 9:30. Scuse me whilst I be all chuffed at my awesomeness. I can't wait till tomorrow. Working in the morning, so I will need a nana nap in the afternoon but it should be a night to remember
Sounds awesome, Rouge!
My cuz and I vowed to see each other more often next year and when I go to her place (northern suburbs) I take the Eastlink right by your place, so I'd like to drop in one of these trips I've only seen her once this year and that was two weeks ago, squishing in the trip between other errands, so dropping in WILL happen I'll let you know in advance, of course, to give you time to avoid me
