    What are your New Year's Eve plans?

    So yeah. What are you up to?

    DH and I are prob staying in. Too hard with the kids to drag them somewhere, can't be bothered having a thing at our house as most of our friends are in the same boat with little ones.

    We'll get a bottle of my fave bubbly, put on a movie, then watch the countdown. Or go to bed. Whatever

    What are you doing?

    Similar issue. We are going to a friends from mothers group who is having another 3 families over. We are having an early BBQ then will likely head home when the toddler gets feral. My little one is having a sleep over at PIL place so the opportunity for an early night is very tempting. I'm willing to bet a million dollars I'll be sound asleep by 10 pm! Party on!

    Might take the boys to watch the fireworks or I might give it a miss.
    Watch some tv, tidy up a bit, go to bed.
    Probably be in bed by midnight

    Girls to bed around 7.30 pm. DH and I will watch a couple more episodes of The West Wing (on the last series now). Into bed by 10pm. He'll be snoring within 3 minutes and me probably not long after. There are going to be fireworks just down the road so I may stir slightly in my sleep at midnight

    An alternate hospital route just in case but other than that, a normal quiet night in

    well at this stage Im taking the girls up to the fly to watch the fireworks over the gong. I am hoping that dh will be able to come with us, but I doubt it. And thats if I can be bothered, at this stage Im not so sure I will be able to last til 9:30 for the fireworks, an early night actually sounds good!

    DH is now erring on the side of staying in, rather than negotiating DS's play and sleep needs at someone else's place, and my temperamental m/s ...

    He's probably right ...

    Having a mate over for movies. We figure I'll cook tea and we will just have a low key end to a full on year.

    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.

    Going to a friends place, there will be about 20 of us there. And then staying the night there so we can both drink!

    Nothing. Staying in. DH was out all of last NYE putting out fires from illegal fireworks, so we'll be enjoying spending it together at home.

    get a bottle of bubbles, maybe 2, watch the fireworks on tv and stuff from all over the world. The LOs can stay up with me and watch the tv. Chinese new year is about a month away so we'll head out then

    We are heading to a friends place around the corner. They have a pool & are cooking up a Mexican feast!!
    I'll most likely have flaked it by Midnight but am looking forward to the earlier festivities

    I just saw a Sex and the City marathon ad for New Years Eve - so my night is now complete.
