[Sussex] Your New Years Eve Experience!

[Easy 10]

A couple of hours down the local with some friends, then minced back home and watched the C4 Big Fat Quiz 2018, which was most enjoyable. I have a brand new BEETROOT fetish, which I fully indulged with some edam, wensleydale, coleslaw and salad cream, along with an agreeable brandy and lemonade. Followed by my favourite red greek dessert wine. Then watched Madness and the fireworks, before getting a bit fed up with their various 'b' sides, so stuck on Con Air, which I watched with a sumptuous nut selection, and some Cheeselets.

Its been lovely. But 2019 will not start well, as we are burying my wifes 45 year old sister on Wednesday, who succumbed to cancer a couple of weeks ago. I hugged her, we know its going to be such a tough start to the year, we're writing her eulogy tomorrow. We still have much to look forward to though with our new grandson Alfie, who is coming up to 4 months. He is the purest of joys.

Its been a mixed year. But I'll still be here, enjoying the wit and wisdom of this forum.

Here's to 2019. I raise my glass to you all.

Jane McDonald came round and we sat in silence watching Channel 5.



Which was nice.

And mine to you and yours too Sir! ��

Ghastly. Me and Mrs Shingle stuck in a Manila hotel room with the rain teeming down waiting to get out of the city. Everything closes down at 8pm and street deserted

 

[Weststander]

Asleep by 11.30, ready for a day’s skiing in Austria. Off in a moment.

 

[Spicy]

Fireworks just woke me up. Went to bed at about 3pm and slept through the whole thing. Mrs TC pretending not to be annoyed. I don’t care. Going back to bed. Night all.

She is annoyed though and beneath that calm exterior is a steaming cauldron of fury!

Mine was a quiet one and passed with hardly a whimper.

Lucky you. I love snow. Have an enjoyable time. Don't hurt yourself.

2018 was a very good year for me, 4 weddings including my eldest son tying the knot, business pretty good, no cardiac arrests for the first time in 11 years ( thanks NHS) and the icing on the cake, my first Grandson, Arthur.


And, my football team has been pretty good as well.

 

[Westdene Seagull]

A nice meal of duck and tartafelette followed by a game of Cards Against Humanity. Nothing quite says Happy New Year like discussing cum gobbling Pacman with your 17 year old step daughter !

 

[Westdene Seagull]

Ps - first thing I've learned in 2019 ..... that you can type cum on NSC and not get it starred out !

You should have mentioned the Madness / Con Air thing on FB.........

So sorry to hear that mate, my condolences to both of you.

As for me, my foot has swollen up like a balloon and I can only just walk. A night of water, ibuporofen and NSC ended at 11.05pm when the painkillers kicked in. Am doing dry January anyway so it was just an early start.

Working behind the bar at the family pub, could be worse though, at least all the family are here.

Happy New Year everyone

Your name wouldn’t be Ben, would it?

My wife always seems to be working New Years, she was asked to swap from a night to a day so we had plans of a few drinks etc.

She got in at 8, shattered after a busy day (Paeds A & E nurse) so we had dinner and a couple of drinks. Went up to bed around half 10 and set our customary alarm for 11:55. Got up and watched the BBC fireworks on the box and then the eldest woke up as he hates the noise and our neighbours went a bit mad with the rockets this year.

All 3 of us back to sleep by 12.15. Luckily the youngest didn’t wake up as the bed wouldn’t have been big enough and I would have spent the first morning of the heat waking up on the floor

I’m only 30 so should probably be out partying like a load of my mates but I just can’t be arsed any more

 

[Westdene Seagull]

Your name wouldn’t be Ben, would it?

If it is then don't order a Fosters.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

Fell asleep in the armchair around 10pm, woke up at 11.55pm, said happy new year and went to bed.

 

[Madafwo]

Watched the fireworks with the wife on TV, she went to bed and then I watched the latest episode of Project Binky on YouTube.

Rock and Roll.

...our neighbours went a bit mad with the rockets this year.

Still living next door to Tim Peake?

My first decision of 2019 was to open a second bottle of fizz which I am now rather regretting...

A good walk around Sandgate Park will no doubt sort it out. Happy New Year to all NSCer's!

Chilling out at loch tay in the camper having a little barby
