Over the past few years, GB and GM have been at the heart of our New Year's Eve celebrations. The first time, they promised a party that they didn't even start to organise (and I had waived my own intentions of having a party in a new place that I'd recently moved in to) and last year, they made all the arrangements, but no-one turned up. I think, partly, because they never told anyone until too late and NYE is something that people organise early.
Unlike a lot of people, I really like New Year's Eve, and socialising with friends is important to me. This year especially, I really want a good New Year's Eve. It's been a bad year. The past two years have been redeemed by visiting a certain pub where everyone had a good time and I'd like to just cut out the pretence of a party and make arrangements to meet our friends there.
I explained this to KfW2 earlier, but she mentioned something about having to get home to her place, which might be difficult on a night that's busy for taxis. I'll bring this up again next week so that I can get her on-side - she's more than welcome to come back to mine until the taxi situation has eased.
However, KfW2 is the least of my worries - GB is lazy. The reason that we've ended up in that particular pub over the past few years is because it was five minutes walk from GB's house. She no longer lives there, so naming that pub as a place to be will definitely be met with resistance. That's something else I am going to have to manage.
