What are your New Year's Eve plans?

[OceanPrincess]

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?

[FabFiona]

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!

[Phteven]

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

[LuluHB]

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

[Jellyfish]

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

[beansbeans!]

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!

Last minute trip to ocean grove, close friends of ours are there with their LO, so we're taking the girls to the beach


Sent from my iPhone, more than likely while I should be doing something else!

[~Hestia~]

Probably taking Moo down to the Waterfront, they have a family thing on with fireworks at 9pm

[Amy_jellybean]

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

[Miss.September]

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.

[Catastrophic]

Camping


Cat xox

[Butterfly Dawn]

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

[Enchanted]

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.

[ellasmummy]

DH and I are taking the girls for a swim and play at southbank, then a picnic and the 8.30 fireworks hopefully home and girls in bed by 10!

[~Kim~]

DH is working 250km away, all my friends are away on hols, so this very pregnant chick will probably be in bed before the fireworks even start....

[peanutter]

we're undecided ... there are a few different options with different groups of friends, but nothing has really jumped out at us yet, and DS is too little to appreciate going to the river or lake for fireworks, etc....

normally we host a big party, but surprisingly enough I'm not up for hosting 50+ of our nearest and dearest buddies this year!


I'm tempted to go to the closest (distance-wise) friends' one (5 mins away) so we can pack up DS and leave when he gets overtired ... but it's also a little tempting to have a party/event free NYE in for the first time since circa 1994 ...

Drinking REAL absinthe. Playing singstar. Eating 12 grapes at midnight. Having an awesome night, and saying GOOD BYE and GOOD RIDDANCE to the crap year that has been 2011.
