Keeping Up With Karen…

Woo Hoo 2016!

Did ya’ll had a lovely time ringing in the bells? We were invited to friends who live close by & ended up spending most of the night pulling moves on the Nintendo Wii… trying to perfect my bowling skills on the sports resort whilst having a glass or two too many proved to be a bit tricky; of course Friday was spent reflecting on exactly why I don’t intoxicate myself with alcohol any more *groans*

However one thing I have noticed is that NYE seems to have a notable divide of two types of people. The type that love to celebrate it with jovial countdowns whilst preparing to merrily belt out Aul Lang Syne at the top of their lungs OR the type that usually detest it with a passion & would much prefer to saunter off to bed with a good book whilst mentally saying bah humbug to all those ridiculous party goers. In previous years I tended to be more of the latter, as time goes on I begin to find myself more so dreading the thought of not acknowledging the ‘out with the old & in with the new’. Even if it’s simply gathering in a friends living room the other end of the village, it still feels like I’m out but not quite ‘out out’ where I have the hassle of sore feet, taxi’s and spending the night having drink spilt over me whilst draining the contents of my bank account! Great friends, a glass of something fizzy and game of virtual bowling on a games console is all we needed to enjoy an evening of giggles and celebrations! What did you do on NYE, was it a cosy night in or glitzy night out?

However for those of you (who like myself) are spending the entire weekend recovering from festivities – here’s a little recap on what’s been happening on Confetti & Curves this week to keep you busy whilst you’re sipping on your mid-morning latte…
