HAPPY new tier! Tonight is going to be an odd New Year’s Eve for all of us.
But I am remaining positive and drumming up some fun for less money, as usual.
While Mrs Crunch today has you covered for food and booze, here are some cheap thrills to get you and your bubble into 2021.
POP STARS: Midnight might usually have involved a sing-song, hug and, for a lucky few, a kiss.
But as we are keeping the fun socially distanced this year without the same numbers of people, I’m thinking it is time to go big on party poppers instead.
There’s still time to pick up a bumper pack at Asda for £1.50.
VINO DIESEL: You may have seen Holly and Phil playing this game on This Morning, and I’m also a fan.
Grab a wine glass, fill it and then roll out loo roll on a table. Pop the glass on the end of the paper and drag it towards you without spilling any. You do a forfeit if the paper tears or you spill your wine.
LET’S GET QUIZZICAL: Think you know the hit 90s TV sitcom Friends like the back of your hand? Get down to Aldi today and hit the Specialbuys section for the ultimate Friends quiz game for £2.49.
If you’re feeling more energetic, “Twerk” or “Floss Pong” are also £3.99 each. Personally, I’ll stick with the quiz.
But with a multitude of free online quizzes, there is no reason why you can’t be the household quiz master and host your own.
Boost the tension with dramatic music clips from YouTube. Of course, you could just play a quiz from online.
VIDEO DRESS-UP: We will all be taking part in a few video calls to say “Happy New Year” to extended family. But make it a bit more fun with some of Poundland’s party range.
There is nothing like a party head-bopper to put a smile on someone’s face.
For the more adventurous, think video charades. Use wardrobe items and kitchen props to bring films and TV shows to life.
Kitchen foil is also a wonder for making props (and you can always un-scrunch and reuse).
