I am, I’m staying up but staying in. I have a nice French film from the 60s, some delicious wine, and at 12 there will be fireworks all over the city, which I will watch from my balcony.

Will be tucked up in my bed - hopefully asleep, but will then be woken up by fireworks, boats fog horns, and even more fireworks. I will text my sons all the best for 2020, turn over and go back to sleep.

We always stay up with some bicuits and cheese and champagne at midnight. There will be seven family members including twelve year old twins so we will play cards and simple games after dinner.DH is 81 and says he is too old to stay up so we have sent him off to bed for a rest before he cooks the dinner.( his turn! )grin

Yes definitely this year, as we have treated ourselves to a two night New Year break in a country house hotel. Tonight we are having a ‘gourmet’ (so they describe it as) dinner and twelve o clock celebrations. I think we won’t be staying downstairs till the finish though, we’ll return to our room after the clock strikes twelve, a bit like Cinderella, but hopefully with both my sparkly shoes.

Yes! Will find something to watch in the TV then over to the fireworks.

Shall go to bed at 11.00, listen to audio book, put BBC radio on , listen to ‘may we all at the BBC wish you a happy new year, here is the news’.

I shall endeavour to stay up, I have got champagne to keep me going, Mr.Gravy will be in bed by 11pm.

We have been invited for dinner to a friend’s home, about 6 or 8 of us. It will be a lovely meal, she is an excellent cook. We shall see the New Year in there. If we were at home I would be in bed fast asleep!
