The exact opposite of how I’ll be spending my NYE
Happy New Year everyone!
Whatever you’re doing with your evening; whether you party like it’s 1999, go to bed @ 9 or get drunk on cheap Baileys in your pyjamas in front of Alan Carr (me), I hope you have a great time.
And you know what? I’m a sucker for a “Go you!” meme, that’s no secret but I hope this fresh year brings you whatever you need. Maybe we’ll all change a bit and start 2016 with a fresh attitude. Maybe we will get that great new job or stop letting people take advantage of our better natures.
Maybe nothing at all will change. Maybe we’ll still be envious of a loved one, or too hard on our bodies. Maybe we’ll never pick up a sketchbook to find out if there’s an illustrator trapped within (me).
Any and all of that is okay. Let’s make a pact not to be horrible to ourselves about every little thing. If we want to make positive changes, let’s try to do that but every little bump in the road is not the end of the world. We’re already good enough, more than enough actually and we should learn to accept this.
So yes, that will be me starting to get a hangover after my second glass of lukewarm Irish Cream, probably having a bath with my book and trying desperately to stay awake until midnight, just because. That’s what we do in our house.
NYE makes me sad and I’ve always been relieved when it’s gone. But I like the promise of a new day, a new page. I just know that every day is a new page, not just the 1st January.
I was definitely an in-bed-at-9 kind of person this year. Hope you and yours had a nice evening, and that you made it to midnight! (I couldn’t. It seems like such a slog to stay up that late now!)

I did make it but only because there was a plate of chocolate waiting for me as the hand stroked midnight! I started to fall asleep on the sofa. I hate NYE and found it ridiculously hard! It was nice to be together though, hope you and your man did too! ❤

Haha! Whatever it takes to make it through. We had a good one, I had to be nudged awake at 11.58, but I managed to slur a Happy New Year before I was gone again, so I consider it successful! xx
