I am,i knew i should have gone out with a friend earlier on.Well if last year is anything to go by this year has got to be just as bad as it is not starting off well.I am not sitting here next new year,no matter what.

Well I guess I share your thoughts, but see here people tend to do too many stupid things so I don't want to open up for risk of someone's ill mistake. I rather stay put at home enjoy some ice cream, music, and a movie.

oh its all good I think one good way to enjoy is to cook a feast and bring people over and share it at home, party on no matter how and what its made of. It does not have to be an expensive event

Hi Jugs, Well I am here with my hubby and my two cats, its too expensive to go anywhere so I am waiting for Big Ben and will toast to the New Year, Happy New Year hun. Tamara

the roomie said they set them off for some time, but I think I was asleep within a half hour of midnight - so I didn't hear any more

We also had people setting the fireworks off nearly all night as well as right up until 5 am.

Hi Jugs, i am not just sitting, waiting for the new year to start. i am busy preparing and setting the table for our family dinner. as the clock stroke 12midnight--we all jumped and shout out loud to create some noise, banging some coins in our pockets and greeting each member of the family a happy new year. we kissed and hugged. it was fun and heart warming scene for all of us who's present at mom's house in the province! we slept at around 2am.

That sounds great.I was on here as well as chatting to a few friend on another site the best thing about it was that whilst we stayed in not only did we all save money,but we also earnt a bit as well which was great as well.Most of our other friends whoi did go out said they did not have much fun as well as they can not afford to go out again until next month.

we spent a lot for christmas and new year. so it's high time to spend less or make sure to stay home, save and enjoy the company of each other--our loved ones, family and friends. this is more fun than really going out and still stress out to spend some more. we went back home from the province to the metro with cash on hand. we were able to save and still have money to spend before the next salary period hehehehe.

It is cold and we have had snow again as well so perhaps it was a good thing that i stayed in.I was on here for sometime last night having a chat as well as on another site and from what i have heard there were not many people about last night anyway as it looks like alot of people stayed in.

I never go out for new Years . I would either see a movie or listen to the countdown on the radio.But I was alone. This time I was alone but I didn't feel alone so it was good. i hope yu won't wait until New Years to have fun.
@jugsjugs (12967)

Happy New Year to you as well.I am going to try to go out next year with the friends that never went out this year as that way we can all see the year in together and not alone.

Oh well you always have the myLot community to "sit" with you.^_^ I wasnt sitting alone but as always I was sitting at the dinner table eating. I remember that I had a mouthful of spaghetti when it was exactly 12midnight last year. This year, I had a mouthful of lasagna. That could be one of your New Years' resolution, not sitting here next new year,no matter what, whichever you decide or what may happen next year, I wish you luck. Do enjoy the time this year. Take care always and Happy New Year!^_^

Happy New Year.I had been sitting on her as well as another site chatting with friends that had stayed in as well.I did have a few drinks as well.Next year me and the friends that did not get to go out this time will all be going out together next time as that way we will see the new year in together.

i went out to eat but then came home and watched some movies till it was time for the new year.. every year i want to go out to a club or party but im always flat broke
@jugsjugs (12967)
16 Jan 10
This is the first year i have seen the New Year in on my own.The bonus of that was that i did save money as well as i was on the internet making some money as well as having a chat with a few friends that were also seeing the New Year in on their own at home.

I set with my family and enjoyed the Eve very much. The kids made a snowman which our wonderful neighbors came over and smashed. If you are young and enjoy going out--Go for it! I am in 'been there, done that' catagory. I have no desire to go out and wade through drunken, rude and crude people and try to have a good time.

I think that it would have been nice if we were together this year like all the other years as we always agreed to be together every year to see the new year in together no matter where we were.Next year i will be meeting up with friends as that way i will have someone to see the new year in with.

Well for me 2009 was a bad year and couldn't wait to see the back of it so I ended up going to bed before the New Year came in, although thanks to people living in the neighbouring streets setting off fireworks I ended up staying awake watching a DVD long into the New Year.
@jugsjugs (12967)

We also had the fireworks going off until early hours of the morning that also woke the children up as well as set all the dogs off barking.I think next year i will be with a few friends when the new year gets here next time as i wanted to see it in with someone rather than noone.Hope this year is better for you.

I am not doing anything tonight either. I usually go to a movie or something. I don't really like New Years Eve. People are trying to hard to have fun, and they drink too much. I watched a movie and will watch the Times Square celebration. At midnight I'll probably make some calls. A friend of mine just had sugery yesterday. I just talked to her and she is on pain pills and sounds like she won't make it till midnight, so I guess it could be worse. I hope the new year is better, but like you, I don't think it will be.
@jugsjugs (12967)

I hope that this year is going to be a good year but i also think that it will be the same as all of the other years.Next year i hope that i will be seeing some friends that were also on their own.

I don't think 2010 will be any better than previous years. I just hope it won't be worse! Next year I'll probably do the same thing I did this year, which was nothing! 20 or 30 years ago I would probably have been upset if I didn't have plans for New Years Eve. Now I am in my 50's and don't care as much anymore.

No Jugs I was with my Daughter and we where with Family Friends and it was great I am sorry that you where alone I really am I spent it on my own last Year but to be honest it did not really bother me as such as it was not the first time, I spent a lot of them on my own when I was married so it was no big deal to me I hope you have a better year this Year I really do
@jugsjugs (12967)

I hope that i will never have to be on my own again to see the new year in on my own again.I am going out with friends that did not go out this time so that way we will all be together rather than just texting and chatting on line.I was on here for a while as well as some other sites.

Next time i have decided to go out with friends rather than stay in and feeling like i am on my own.All i can say is thankfully i have internet so i stayed on there rather than sitting watching alot of rubbish on my own.I chatted to a few friends on here as well as on the other sites that i belong to.

I did not wait for New year. I even did not notice the change of the year. I do not care. We prepare something a little dinner last New Year. I ate a little . I was sad last New Year. I did not cry but I was sad. I tried to entertain myself watching television but I did not enjoy. I did not hate the season, I just don’t have a life during that day. Like I did not care for every people around me, I was totally lifeless.

I am soo sorry to hear that.This was the first year that i have had to see the new year sitting all on my own as all the other years there has always been someone with me,even before i was married i would always be with someone seeing the new tear in.Next year i will be going out with some friends.

Hi,jugsjugs.Good day.I was sitting alone waiting for the new year to start.Sitting in front of my computer,chatting with my e-pals and listening to some music.Who cares?The person I like is not available,he is just away from me and had his celebration with friends.No big deal.Luckily,I had a nice day on the first day of 2010.Cheers!
@jugsjugs (12967)

I was on this site nearly all night as well as a few other sites with a few of my friends who were also alone seeing in the new year.I think that next year i will go out with the friends that were all on their own this time as that way we can see the new year in all together as it beats sitting on my own yet again.

Well it’s all over now. I stayed at home too but my family came over and we had a barbecue. I had a little too much to drink and I was in bed by 1.30 after I cleaned up. I used to go out all the time at New Year, it never lived up to expectations and it was hell trying to get home! I much rather stay home these days; not much good if you are on your own though...I hope it was not too lonely for you, been there done that...It sucks...

I think that next year i will go out with a few friends that also stayed in on their own again this year as that way at least we will be seeing the new year in with someone.I was on here most of the night as well as a few other sites so i was having a bit of fun rather than just sitting in watching the tv.

We went out to dinner with my mother, brother and sister-in-law, but then we went home and sat there like we were a bunch of old people instead of doing anything that was exciting. I think the reason that we've done that for the past several years is because of the fact that we have the two small children and neither my husband nor myself feels comfortable at a bar or at a party where we are expected to drink outside of our own house.
@jugsjugs (12967)

We have always seen the new year in together as we agreed we would do this every year before we even got married.So next year i will be seeing the new year in with friends that were also on their own this time.It should be good.
