    I'm down at a holiday unit down the beach, just my lads and I. We'll be going to the beach carnival between 5-9 and then heading home to bed. I don't think I'll make midnight.

    2011 can bugger off. It's been one of the worst years of my life.

    The boys and I will probably go to our friends place for a BBQ. I doubt I will make midnight though.

    Now I'm wondering if we should take the kids for fireworks somewhere... But it's going to be blooming hot in Melb, right?

    Might give that a miss...

    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.

    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....

    Well neither of the possibilities I mentioned earlier have eventuated, so we are officially not doing anything tonight, which we have no problem with whatsoever! We'll probably kick back with a movie and some snacks and drinks (softies in my case) and have a normal bedtime

    Well, that all just sucked. Two people came for dinner, we went to go see the family fireworks in the city but arrived a few minutes too late, so of course DH had to crack the poops (still no clear idea why) and it was so crowded that we didn't get home until just before midnight anyway, at which point I took Amelia out the car and watched some illegal fireworks from the driveway while I cried. Good fun Why do I always get my hopes up and think I'm going to have a good night? I haven't had a decent NYE since 2005!

    Aw hugs teni that just sucks
    We didn't end up going to southbank as it was raining today and thought we'd probably get soaked, so went to the family fireworks at manly - and it rained!! Just a sprinkle though. Chloe loved them!! Was soooo windy and cold though, we all had jumpers and blankies on!!!

    Well I didn't end up having my bath, I did have chocolate =) and I technically did see the new year in. I woke up to the TV count down just in time for 3...2...1 Happy New Year. I said a quiet & sleepy 'Happy New Year' to myself, messaged DH who was at work who rang me. I watch the fireworks on TV then turned the telly off and went back to sleep. Big night lol!

    Mine sucked too. Had a big party / bbq planned cause it was DD2's 1st birthday and had to cancel it. DD2 has whooping cough, so she had a vomiting bug for her 1st christmas and whooping cough for her 1st birthday . Glad 2011 over.
