to 3 it does not be a waste of money if that they had an extremely marvelous, satisfied and remarkable time. that's a very diverse adventure to having a chum around for a meal. I went to a business employer fancy dress social gathering that fee me a lot those days and between the inn, dress and shuttle it fee £one hundred forty five, even though it replaced into out-of -the undemanding for me and that i had a marvellous time. i don't do it a week. i don't even do it each and every 12 months. particular i be attentive to it fee funds yet happiness is king and it made me satisfied. There are 'extra useful' issues i ought to spend the money on, i be attentive to. Now, you do not even sound such as you prefer to bypass clubbing in any respect so it may easily be a waste of time and income case you will basically sit down around like a sourpuss. Sorry you're unemployed. this is quite difficult, isn't it. that's going to be ok. basically shop your morale up. one element to be stated for going out and socialising is which you will meet people and make new acquaintances. those are possibilities to community and interior the present marketplace, many roles are stumbled on by making use of networking, not by making use of making use of for jobs. So, £60 spent on assembly people must be jolly sensible - as long as you are not getting wasted and act like a prat.

You say that you feel bad for letting your friends down but they are the ones who have changed the plans from a simple £30.00 evening to a £60.

Tell them to go back to the original plans or tell them sorry, maybe next year.

Actually, that's what my hubby and I are doing this year. Staying in. Putting the children to bed, having a nice meal, nice bottle of luxury soft drink and watch a DVD, see the new year in with a kiss and cuddle and knowing that we've done what we want to do with very little cost.

Good luck.

A few questions to ask yourself- Do you often go out? Do you think you need/deserve/want a night out? New Years Eve can be so much fun- if you get into a good attitude- and if you don't usually go out then maybe it's the perfect time to have fun.

How often do you see your friends? Do you think you should spend more time with them? Do you generally have fun with them? You could be missing a great night out and completely regret it if they come back telling good stories from it.

I take it you had plans before going clubbing- like dinner or whatever?- maybe go to that part and if your not in the mood for clubbing then tell them?

I agree with you 100%, that winter coat will last a lot longer than one night out on the town to have a few drinks and blow a whistle at midnight. stay home have a couple drinks a good meal and watch the new year come in on TV. OH! happy new Year..

Cold weather, standing in line for ages waiting to get into a club where everything will be hideously overpriced for the one night of the year or stay at home where it's warm and you will have a happier time - hmmm I know which one I'd choose.

I think it's a waste of money - I can't stand crowds of vile drunken people and I hate strangers trying to kiss me (which always happens at midnight on NYE).

I understand you feel bad about your friends, but I think they should be more sympathetic to your financial situation. You should talk to them about it.

Good luck and hope you have a good time whatever you decide to do.

Stay home and save the money. They changed the plan not you, they are letting you down.

i think your right, it would probably be full of drunken idiots anyway and you might even be ruff the next day. why not just have a night in with a bottle of wine and chillax, im sure your friends will understand especially if your having financial difficulties, happy new year x
