What's everyone doing to bring the new year in?

Drinking eating and watching tv

More eating, more drinking, and we have fireworks. Souvlaki if the rain keeps off. My son in law's birthday on New Year's day and he makes fantatic cocktails, so I will probably have a hangover.

Same here , but no fireworks only watching other peoples from the window.

My other half is playing at our local club (just over the road)

No driving home after the gig, so should be a good night with all our friends

Drinking, eating (in that order), sitting in front of the airconditioner.

Came past a house this morning where they had numerous small burnoff fires still smouldering. And this is a Total Fire Ban day! Some people have short memories!

It wasn't a Total Fire Ban for the Central District, otherwise the Melbourne fireworks would have been cancelled.

I will be sitting quietly with family watching the "Best of 2010" shows and fireworks.

We're having a couple of friends over, so we start with the Queen's speech at 6pm, then the eating and drinking starts. There are fireworks and champagne at midnight. Apart from the fact we're not having poached fish a pretty traditional Danish New Years Eve.

A lot of the kids go around the neighbours playing practical jokes (pretty harmeless ones on the whole), although a few will put fireworks in post boxes and wheelie bins, so ours will be locked up in the shed!

Some places where there are a lot of thatched roofs are fireworks banned, but other than that everyone goes wild at midnight!

Well I've cleaned the house, cleaned out the fridge, chucked all the old food out and refilled from M&S. Also cleaned my Boots and put them in the back of the Wardrobe, won't need them now until next Winter, (crossing all fingers knees and toes ) Have a good New Year from Lin.

Can you come and sort my place out then Linell?

Locking your kids in the shed SS????

So we are 45 minutes into the New Year and nothing seems different than 2010

Now we start the debate about which was better, the Melbourne or Sydney fireworks.
