No, I'm staying in too - have far too much uni work to catch up on!

On a side note, your ex sounds like a dick - feel lucky that you are now free to meet someone (hopefully) much better.

You do what you want to do & what makes you comfortable. But maybe do hang out w/ family? Toast to new beginnings! There’s nothing worse when we take the pressures of holidays onto our shoulders. Esp when some are Hallmark holidays or just designed to boost the economy. The anticipation & then let down can be very depression triggering for many, but don’t admit it. I hate it when holidays feel like any other day & unexciting, but I’ve just assumed it’s my age. I always wonder how my parents’ cope with the holidays. Since they don’t complain, then maybe it is a depression thing for me. Yet i’m too much of a realist.

You are not sad at all. New Year’s Eve is completely overrated and usually a shit night out anyway!!!

If you feel better just staying in then just stay in!! But don’t spend your evening thinking about an ex-boyfriend.

Get some food and drinks in that you fancy, have a bath, get in your comfies, have a drink and eat the good good, watch a film, have an early night. Forget that it’s NYE, it’s not important.

I'm at home spending New Years with my dogs who are petrified of fireworks and dealing out their medication like tic-tacs!

So sorry to hear you've had a rubbish year and a tough break up with your ex @IrishGryffindor hope tonight hasn't been too bad for you and you can get some peace and closure in the new year xx

Thoughts go out to you too @KateESJ on the eve of your sons birthday xx

Not sad at all I’ll be staying in with my 13 week old daughter and my dog but truthfully I’d be staying in anyway 🤣. Do whatever suits you and makes you happy! I’m cooking a curry and watching saved series I recorded of secret life of the zoo! X

I’ll be honest - didn’t even read the post. It’s never sad to stay in. I’ll be in bed by 10, I’m tired. I’m arsed with new year. I’ve never got it!
I have a small child and to be honest, far from being the REASON I'm Staying in, he gives me a damn good excuse for those people that seem to think tonight means anything at all!
Stay in, get in your Jamie and get smashed if you want! Or curl up in bed and laugh at everyone’s hangover tomorrow!

Not sad at all.

Was talking to my fiance earlier about how I dislike the lull between Christmas and new year. I love Christmas but have never been a fan of new year festitivities and I can't wait to get back to a normal routine.

We are out for dinner and I will probably be in bed before midnight. Haha.

Unless you're someone that doesn't do text and has to speak on the phone for an hour I'm sure you wouldn't be bothering your brother at all!

After a tough year just do what will make you happy and celebrate that you've come through the other side stronger. No need to adhere to social norms.

I'd rather stay in but meeting up with lots I haven't seen in a few months, so that'll be nice but I'd quite like to go home at 11 but it's the one day of the year it's difficult to do that 😆

Really sorry you've had an awful year , exes can be such wankstains .

I'm also staying in with the kids & family playing...cheesy games etc . Have been up since 3am for work so I'm bailing early

Anyway best advice I was ever given where I felt guilty about not going out when invited was to stop trying to please people, all my life even when I've had long days at work or bad nights with the kids I felt I had to go out to please others . I started saying no.

I think you'll be just fine with your pink gin. Chin chin 2020 👌

Don't know he's 28 and I'm 30 but had no plans to marry etc and I was like.. eh I want to get married lol

I have become such a more chill person since we brokeup and I never learned how to drive or cook cause medicine took over my life and I'm doing it all now :)
Breakups are rubbish but you’re killing it! It is shite, but there’s something exciting about focussing your energy elsewhere, especially stuff that’s going to be so beneficial for you 💖

ps. Staying in for New Years is the champion choice. I’m 27 and staying in with my folks and fella, watching Netflix and tanking wine and it is glorious. You’ve made the right call x

My parents are having a party with all my aunts and uncles so am I sad to go to that !? Ahh. Gonna get some pink gin and get drunk I think lol.
If your parents, aunts and uncles are people who you have fun with and make you feel good about yourself, go and have fun with them. Or just stay at home if you prefer. Don’t try and please anyone else though - that’s one of the perks of being single! 😂

@IrishGryffindor how did it go last night. I wish you a very happy 2020. Things will get better. You know that old saying “Time is a great healer” and yes I wanted to hit the person that said it to me also.
Heartbreak is an awful thing to go through and it takes time but one day you will say stuff this I’m not doing this anymore.
I made really bad choices but I wouldn’t change anything looking back because I would not have had my beautiful kind caring daughter. She has been the love of my life x
Hey Moe. I'm ok ! Had aunt's and uncles and cousins over and we where looking at loads of old pictures from our holidays as kids. Like 14 of us where there. My little cousin who is 8 was here played Minecraft with her lol.

I had a big sob 2 hours at 4 am about the ex lol. My sister is asleep beside me in my bed ( a king ! Haha). I just feel so lost romantically. I don't think I'll fancy anyone as much as I fancied him. And I'm so angry at him for not checking in with me even though i blocked him from doing so he has my address and my email ! Good riddance.

Plan is : learn how to cook more things, finally learn how to drive, go hiking and sign up to run marathons. No love life for me til at least summer but if asked out ill go lol.

I looove Scottish men think it's time I made my Scottish mates find me a giant sexy scot!!!!!!!! Hahaha

Also being 30 I hate it I feel like a spinster hahaha

Ah how wonderful. I'm sure she's the light of your life ! Best wishes for 2020 for the both of ye ♥♥

Staying in here too, it's overrated to go out. I'm just not a party person at all. I hope 2020 proves happier for you!

Sorry you’ve had such a tough time. The pressure to be happy / cheerful / socialable tonight is horrendous at the best of times, without adding heartbreak into it

we’re staying in tonight because we just don’t want to go out. We’d rather stay in than be out and having to stay up until midnight and then leaving at 1215 to drive home, with one of us drunk and one sober

staying in is the new going out
