New Year...........
 

What are Accywebbers doing tonight........? As its the first time we have been offered babysitting services for 5 years we are off to manchester later this afternoon to push the boat out............cocktails at Cloud 23 (top of Hilton Hotel) slap up meal at Dimitri`s greek taverna just accross the road then a few drinks down Deansgate, aiming to be back at home with the kids to see in the New Year though, hence the early start.......Happy Days.......(and no doubt i`ll be dragged in a few shops along the way)

Re: New Year...........
 

Staying in and on my Doctors advice avoiding the bevvy. It will be the first time in the 18 years I have lived up here that I will be at home and sober on Hogmany.

Re: New Year...........
 

Well I'm siting down to a nice meal, cool bottle of white wine followed by liquor's and coffee and mints, then at midnight a nice fireworks display, all at Mallard Place. For the Fireworks, we just pop in the kitchen close the door keep the lights of and open the curtains and watch the sky's light up all over Ossy, and we don't have to put up with drunken idiots making a clown of themselves, plus its nice and warm too, sorted:rolleyes:

Re: New Year...........
 

I will be going out for a couple of hours, have a sitter available so might as well make the most of it. It'll be a sober one but should be fun (Dont like drinking knowing ive to get up early with the boys, twins and a hangover dont mix)

Re: New Year...........
 

staying in due to the dreaded lurgy.:(

Re: New Year...........
 

I am trying to normalise my sleep pattern - to 7 or 8 hours in one lump at night, so I had plans to be in bed.
Doh! - forgot about the fireworks - will have to nap this afternoon instead and start trying to be 'normal' again in 2009

Re: New Year...........
 

New year has never been a night that I have gone out, always enjoyed bringing the new year in with my two boys...this year they are both at two different parties... but I still don't fancy going out as it will be pure madness just trying to get a drink!!

I could also work as I know they need all the staff they can get but don't want to be knackered for New years day as have a special meal during the day followed by a special evening :)

So I think I will join my best friend down the road, have a few bevvies but not too much so I know when my lads are home

Re: New Year...........
 

Poor Cashy - is that flu?, manflu?, a cold? or a vaccine reaction?

Re: New Year...........
 

not sure, aint flu but cold or vaccine reaction, who knows.:confused:

Re: New Year...........
 

Party at home.... much better than the pub these days...... I think lots will be doing the same :-)

However HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all keep safe whatever you do:

if out and about its gonna be a cold one , so wrap up warm and keep from harm:

Re: New Year...........
 

We stop in with the kids, get a few party snacks etc, then at midnight watch all the fireworks from the front door. The advantage of living on top of the mountain is you can see for miles :D

Re: New Year...........
 

Going Whittakers, Burnley Road tonight. Hope all have a nice evening and manage to stay warm whatever you do. May you all have a happy and prosperous 2009.

Re: New Year...........
 

Was supposed to be going to a party but not feeling to good. So will get my new pjs on later and stay in where it is warm:) Hope you all have a good night whatever you decide to do and all the very best for "2009"

Re: New Year...........

Re: New Year...........
 

have you got the lovely bug thats going round??

im not doin owt, was gunna go to my mums but not doing now..... might snuggle up on the setee with ty and watch dvds

Re: New Year...........
 

There are fireworks being set off NOW 6PM on Heys field - looks like being a long noisy night

PS That display was over fast .....recession is showing

Re: New Year...........
 

Some down here too Margaret .. few doors away I think. First one made my bowels turn over .. didn't expect them so early. :rolleyes:

Re: New Year...........
 

Maybe you have some Bangladeshi's near you, they are 6 hours in front of us :D

Re: New Year...........
 

Staying in. Just had a nice hot bubbly bath, and sat in my nice warm fluffy dressing gown and cosy ugg type boots, sipping wine, surfing and watching TV. Rest of family doing their own thing. Hubby working, but we wouldn't be going out anyway if he wasn't. Haven't done that for years, it's usually complete madness.

Re: New Year...........
 

And we are 5 hrs behind, working on a drunk while you guys are starting your hangovers .... Happy New Year everyone:theband:

Re: New Year...........
 

Staying in. Dont think my tongues up to going out ... anyway will have spugster on msn ....

Re: New Year...........
 

You kiss people when the new year strikes - licking them is novel;)

Re: New Year...........
 

Seems a new tradition is becoming more and more entrenched in my area , members of one 'ethnic' group think its ok to go out at mid-night and shoot their guns into the air , the dumb idiots seem to forget that what goes up , eventually has to come down . Fortunatly the sheriffs dept. is getting wise and now sets up sound moniters which can recognize the sound of gunfire and triangalate the location , and go and pick the clowns up before damage is done .

Re: New Year...........
 

Don't forget an extra second before Big Ben chimes.....or is that still undergoing maintenance. :)

Re: New Year...........
 

I'm gonna start getting ready soon, only going out for an hour or two over midnight then home to bed, no doubt the little ones will have me up early enough so am being good :D

Re: New Year...........
 

Well, we are back from a cracking `night` out in Manchester, just want to wish all Accywebbers a Happy New Year before the red wine kicks in.........................all the best:D

Re: New Year...........
 

i'm not saying it to you AGAIN, already did that in another thread ;)

Re: New Year...........
 

I'm staying at home, watching telly and having a few JD and cokes. :)

I've always disliked going out on New Year's Eve because I can't be doing with random strangers coming up to me at midnight, flinging their bulk at me and screeching 'Happy New Year'. :(

Due to this if I did go out I would come home before midnight.

We'll go out Friday or Saturday when this will not be happening, nor will we have to stand at the bar for half an hour to get a drink. :mosher:

Hope you all have a happy and healthy 2009.

Re: New Year...........
 

New year in Spain.....Fireworks like you wouldn't believe.
Happy new year everyone.

Re: New Year...........
 

We have another hour to go yet

Re: New Year...........
 

Well i am stopping in all on my own:( The wife has been called into work a 10pm to 8am shift tonight:D

Re: New Year...........
 

Margrit....guess what....I know.
Get in the festive spirit and celabrate both...I do.
I will be ringing my Grandson at 12 your time to wish him all the best.
Have a very happy new year and dont be so bloody miserable.
I still think i'ts down to the heated rollers :)

Re: New Year...........
 

Don`t mention fireworks to me............i was in the middle of something and they woke our 18 month up...................:rolleyes:

Re: New Year...........
 

Ha-ha:D

Re: New Year...........
 

When did fireworks become a New Year thing in the UK ? thought they were only available around Nov 5th Bonfire nights :confused:

Re: New Year...........
 

Unfortunately not steeljack............................never heard as many as i did tonight.including 5th Nov......:rolleyes:

Re: New Year...........
 

Still have 6 1/2 hours to go here , but of a .......(that word we are not allowed to use) living here , everything has allready happened by the time we get to midnight ;) :D

Happy New Year to all Accy webbers

Re: New Year...........
 

Happy New Year to you too, you are so lucky to be living in the San Fran Bay Area, i visited a few years ago and loved it, what a gorgeous place.............like Accrington.....:rolleyes:

Re: New Year...........
 

Guess when you live in a place you tend to take it for granted , one of my favourite times is whenever I travel to the UK and the planes starts it descent into London from somewhere over Scotland and you see all the green fields and countryside spread-out down below you . ;)

Re: New Year...........
 

LOL, i know what you mean.....although i certainly don`t take Accrington for granted......i`d much prefer to see goose bay in Canada on my approach into North America......:D

Re: New Year...........
 

:D each and every time I fly over that place (Goose Bay) it allways crosses my mind where in Gods name would the Pilot put this thing down in case of an emergency :D

enough of a thread wander, we'll be getting into bother from some miserable old git in Spain who doesn't approve of North American posts ;) :D

Re: New Year...........
 

I know where i`d rarther be...............;)

Re: New Year...........
 

Que.:hehetable

Re: New Year...........
 

I went out last night and Harry woke me up at 4.30am, so if your still alive let me know and we will pm you!!! I cant send any message now, coz am sooooooooo tired, lol!!!

Re: New Year...........
 

well it was a bit ridiculous last night that extra drinking time, how did you use up that extra second:D Happy New Year one and all.

Re: New Year...........
 

think they really kicked off, millenium year steeljack, aint 100% sure cos was living in spain at that time, but by all accounts it was the 1st time there.:) glad i won't be around fer next millenium gawd knows what the saddos will produce fer that.:D

Re: New Year...........
 

did not see many fireworks of any kind last night..... looks like people were good on my close ... normally get a least one police car, but nothing so a peaceful start to the new year...

Re: New Year...........
 

Been a few bangs and multi coloured shouts but was quite subdued really. A sure sign the lack of spare coins is biting. Up here it would be the choice of fire works or booze and booze would win hands down.

Shock of shocks for the first time in over 18 years up hear I stayed in and not a drop of booze passed my lips. I have a bottle of whiskey 2 bottles of wine and my fridge drawer full of Becks.

Re: New Year...........
 

We had a bit of bad news (more my partner than me) so was out at house party, a happy and prosperous new year everyone.

Re: New Year...........
 

I didnt go out...again, probably due to being a mother, and dont like to DUMP kids on anyone, but i dont care, at least i didnt have an hangover;)

Re: New Year...........
 

wrong thread:rolleyes:

Re: New Year...........
 

Well We went to my sons where he and his wife had laid on a lovely buffet, had a few drinks to warm up then it was off to the casino where the atmosphere were just brilliant.
Although I didnt come out a millionairess, It offered everything under one roof, entertainment, dancing, reasonable bar prices and decent tables to have a nice little flutter on. :alright:
Happy new year everyone:arty::arty:
