With a certain reluctance i once again laid on a New Year's Eve party, my heart wasn't in it and wanting to be anywhere but in my home, will anyone turn up in the atrocious weather?. I cooked a ham, turkey and beef stroganoff, assortment of cheeses and various sweet concoctions. 30 were invited but only 13 turned up, by then my anxiety was through the roof, and i did have a few drinks to cheer myself up, but as you know alcohol is a depressive.
A late comer brought his guitar and my friend Sheila brought her ukulele so we had music a plenty, a real jam session , and i did loosen up a bit and it went well, but my resolution is to not do this again ,its stressful and never worth all the work involved and the weather was horrendous and understandable that so many stayed away. and this morning i feel shredded, and now awaiting Karen and Nicky to arrive to help clear everything up ,urghh. I need valium. 😱😂

Last night we had a quiet new years eve in and just had a cold buffet for dinner and had curry, rice and pitta bread for Sunday lunch as they weren't doing the usual carvery yesterday but I wasn't upset over it!
Today we have had a stormy 4 mile walk and are having lunch out at the Fox and Hounds which is a nice place to go to so didn't mind not having had the carvery yesterday.
How are the dogs getting on?
Baby is well and enjoyed her seafood and curry yesterday!
Throwing large parties is stressful. I use to throw big parties, but not anymore, thank goodness. It sounds like you're relieved it's over. I'm pretty sure your guests were happy to have the night out. That was very thoughtful for you to coordinate.
well done for making the effort , but it’s so tiring isn’t it, we didn’t go out , watched The great escaper, Michael Caine and the late Glenda Jackson .
What I find myself is if you really want to do something you will shift heaven and earth to make it happen like I push myself to go out for a walk even when it's pouring with rain!
If you change you mind and do it again have everyone bring something and make it potluck. Then use disposable plates or only have finger food. Less stress and less cleanup. I had my husband get takeout and we ate out of the containers. Rinse and recycle. Then I took control of the tv remote which I never do. Be proud of yourself for trying and Happy New Year.
Yes the weather has been better today and we have had a nice walk up to tescos to get some margarine as we had run out which was nice to get out and get some fresh air and exercise!
Yesterday when I was waiting for swimming I had gone to get myself a cup of tea and I was counting out pennies to pay as I didn't feeling using a card was warranted for £2.35!
I was counting out the pennies and then a chap came along and paid £1 towards the cup of tea and I had gone over and thanked him for it!
Today i said to my sister in law about that and she says how she is always impressed with how gracious and understanding I am over things.
My mother had told me that I am ungrateful and it's not true.
More like she's ungrateful never bring happy with what's available and making the best of it and projecting it onto me by accusing me of being supposedly ungrateful.
