I don't know if it's because we're getting older or it's because we have to work and are too tired, but New Years Eve isn't something we go mad about, we prefer Christmas. We have been to parties in the past, usually Tricia & John's house and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves but Tricia phoned yesterday and said she wasn't having a party this year because of John's Dad and I was so relieved. We have been invited to the works New Year Do but I really don't want to go.
The best (or maybe the funniest) NYE's party I went to was the one before Andrew & I married in 1984. Andrew was ill so it meant me staying in all by myself. My Mum told me I could go with them if I wanted but some of their friends were going in fancy dress. I phoned Jean & John (my parents best friends) and asked if they were dressing up and Jean said no but some of the younger people were. I asked them for any costume suggestions and John shouted "come with a dress & no knickers" - cheeky monkey!!
So to cut a very long story short, I went out with them all in normal going out clothes and just before midnight (with a couple of drinks inside me) I went to the toilet and got changed into a skimpy bikini, tied a piece of tinsel around my leg as a garter and put my coat on. I went and found John (who was just coming back from the bar with a tray full of drinks in his hand) and said "I thought the dress & no knickers wasn't very nice so (taking off the coat) here's the knickers and no dress. He was soooo embarrassed. We have laughed about ever since :O)
