For the past decade New Year?s Eve has consisted of going on a pub crawl in either Broadstairs or Ramsgate whilst in fancy dress such as Morris Dancers, Mr T?s, Nerds, etc but to be honest I haven?t enjoyed the past couple of years as much as I have in the past. I guess the main factors are that I?m not getting any younger and that it now costs quite a bit to go out, so I decided that this year I would be having a house party instead.
I broached the question to my friends and they all agreed that this would be a nice change and it would also mean that those with children would be able to come along (even if only for a few hours) without having to worry about babysitters and I really wanted to make it possible for everyone to come and have no excuses.
I?ve off to Calais on the 15th December (using the Eurotunnel £15 deal) and will stock up on alcohol in preparation for the party and will try and do a few more bits to the house between Christmas and New Year, but it certainly won?t be as much of a rush as it was getting the place ready for my housewarming.
every year we always have a party but for some reason this year is going to be huge.. I have to do all the cooking my husband is doing the barbaque I am so glad that i am taking the day off.
