I know we are all still getting over Christmas but keen to know how you are all spending New Years.

We're having a bit of a party out at Mum and Dad's as we didnt see them at Christmas. Will be catching up with all my family and we tend to get a little crazy, so karaoke, dancing and games will be all happening lol.

What are all your plans?

Hubby and I have a New Years Eve tradition that started a few years back ... Every year on NYE, we buy the Gold Class Date Night Movie package and go to see the latest Star Wars movie. It’s probably the only time we actually go to a cinema, haha. 

These past few few years they’ve stopped doing a late show, our tickets are for 5pm this year, so we’ll be stopping off at one of the local beaches on our way home for a stroll along the beach at sunset (I think we walked Big Manly last year).  Then it’s home to watch TV and make sure that the FurKid is tucked up safe under a blanket and locked inside, hiding away from the fireworks, before we crack the sparkling wine and sneak outside without the FurKid noticing, so that we can watch the neighbourhood firework displays and wish our neighbours a Happy New Year before heading off to sleep.

I do wish they’d make a noiseless version of fireworks, but I doubt that it’s possible.

I’m boring and hopefully will be sleeping zzz... I have a 3 month old so l take any chance I can get for some extra zzzs. But hopefully I won’t have to cook dinner that would be a nice way to finish off the year and welcome in the new one with no dishes to be done.

Sounds like everyone has some great plans!

My husband works every NYE and NYDAY. I'll be dropping my husband in the city for work and waiting for the countdown to the fireworks. Our whole relationship so far the last 7 years we always watch the fireworks together, it's nice.

I am working NYD so it will be a quiet night for us. Husband has 1st and 2nd off so he has to amuse himself.  I like to work the public holidays as I can get the day in lieu. We usually manage to take a break together in February or March.

Whatever you all are up to stay safe and wishing you all the best new year ever xxx

I'm doing a very slow road trip through the North Island which will see me in Auckland for New Years. Just taking my time and catching up with people along the way, stopping at quirky cafes and landmarks.

For those of you (SHAZ) who didn't believe me, I bought very little in Vanuatu!

- local chocolate (Aelan brand, which means 'island' in Bislama, and the variants are named for each of the islands in Vanuatu)
- local coffee, Tanna brand 
- coconut soap
- a cute little dish that looks a bit like Paua shell, probs just plastic 
- magnets for my 'been there' board
- ridiculously cheap duty free booze (seriously, 3 x 1L bottles... Absolut Mango vodka, Johnnie Walker, Gordon's Pink Gin = $52 NZ)
- 'extra cheesy' twisties (probably imports from Aus like most of the non local food)
- two hair flowers, bc I have them from everywhere in the islands I've been
- three postcards which I'll get around to framing for display one day

I had mine on the fridge until I bought a chrome fridge, then I bought an A3 magnet board in Kmart. It's full, I need another!

such a cheap and easy way to mark my travels in a visible way :) 

I also try and buy Christmas tree decorations wherever possible, especially in local images or languages

Trudi, we were looking at Hawaii this year because we haven't been there but we have decided to spend some money on our new house and get the outside to how we want it. Have you been to Hawaii?

Yup! Once as a kid and once in 2018.

i stayed at a hotel a block back off Waikiki instead of a resort, and did heaps just in Waikiki. If I go back I'd love to check out the other islands

Went to Hawaii just over a year and a half ago. Also stayed in Waikiki, Hawaii is a great place to visit. I hope to go back again in a couple of years.
