RE: New Year's Eve

Breaks over New Years are expensive but me and my first wife (now divorced - amicably) often went away to a quiet hotel on our own rather than joined a group or party like the parents of my fiancee/future second wife . We did stay in with a video or two years ago but since I was quite ill last year we felt we needed a change of scenery too though I was on crutches after a nasty fall so we had to choose somewhere not too far distant. I did like the sound of Louise's parents' trips to a hotel "house party" but sadly being famous means our choices are somewhat limited in communal entertainment.

I'm a widow in my late 50's and for the first time I am going away for the New Year up to Scotland - I'm going with Shearings. I don't know whether I'm doing the right thing, but I'm determined not to sit and see the New Year in by myself this year. I see all my family over the Christmas period, and I think they all need their own space over the New Year period.

So think of me, probably the only single person in the party - but do you know, I don't care, at least I hope to have a couple of days out and meals cooked for me and perhaps a glass or two of wine.

So get out there and book a table for yourselves, meet other people and you might find you really enjoy it!

Hi there, have you tried looking at the hotel packages close to where you live? Most hotels usually have entertainment on New Year's Eve with dinner and entertainment for a set price, that might make a change for you. They're not all very expensive, unless you choose to stay over. I hope you find something.

Has anyone any good ideas what my husband and myself with a widowed lady friend, all pensioners, can do on New Year's Eve, which is not too expensive, or too far away from where we live in North Essex/Suffolk borders. We usually celebrate with a supper and a game of scrabble and a drink watching the television. But we are getting rather bored with this and fancy a change. Any ideas please.
