Is it just me or does New Year seem a tad... well... overrated?


I might just be saying this because at the moment my New Year plans are non-existent (the policeman is working and apparently my friends have family and stuff. I know. Selfish.), but now I'm a big girl I stay up past midnight quite a lot. Actually that is an out and out lie. I'm normally in bed by 10pm, but that's not the point, if I wanted to, I could!


I guess for people who have had a bad year it is a good way to see the back of it, and for those who have a had a good year it's a way to celebrate, but what about the rest of us? Is it just an excuse to try to out do each other on party plans?

Don't get me wrong, I feel the New Year pressure like everyone else. All I'm saying is I don't really want to throw huge amounts of cash at a night out which I probably won't be able to remember the next morning and will result in me feeling like this:

All I really want to do is go to bed at a decent hour and wake up on 1st January fresh and perky.  Maybe this will be the year I finally do that ... maybe. It won't be of course, because the thought of telling people I have no plans for New Year fills me with dread and embarrassment despite everything I've said. *sigh*

So now to give in to the pressure of finding something fun to do, that I can actually afford, to see in 2011. Ideas (and offers) welcome...

In other news... first day at the new job went well (despite the snow ruining my outfit plans). I'm afriad I have mush for brains at the moment so I will blog about it later in the week when I am more coherant and a bit more settled!
