New Year's nightmare
Dear Sally Ann
I'm 33 years old and single. I generally feel OK about this but New Year’s Eve always makes me feel self-conscious. I’ve been invited to two parties – one with a friend who is always desperately searching for a man, the other with a guy who I’m not sure about. I’m thinking of just avoiding the whole New Year thing. Help!

The problem with New Year’s Eve is that it’s too soon after Christmas. Just when you think you’ve survived the festive season, something even more upsetting comes along and the endurance test starts all over again.Everybody seems to loathe New Year but you have to do something on the night. The question is, what will do the least damage?
I spent one New Year on my own, so I know that’s not the answer. It’s all right up until midnight but then you really do feel the need for some companionship and cats are remarkably indifferent to the passing of the year. Don’t go to a party with a man you’re not sure about – it’ll make you feel lonely. And the friend sounds annoying. She won’t want to leave until she’s pulled, you won’t find a cab, and you’ll end up snogging someone unsuitable out of boredom. No, bitter experience has taught me that the only thing to do on New Year’s Eve is to invite two or three (maximum) really good friends over, cook something delicious, drink a moderate to heavy amount of something expensive and put on your David Cassidy records.I defy anyone not to be happy after a rousing chorus of ‘Could it be Forever’.
