Right, I've had a spectacularly bad week...who else is on the wine?

My week has involved accidentally hitting another car and doing £200 damage, my tax credits being calculated incorrectly, my housing benefit being suspended, numerous arguments with my mother who is staying with me, DS2's birthday which I could barely afford even a present for him and culminating in having my mum's dog put down yesterday.

Who else has had a crappy week?

Me! Sprained foot last Friday so have been hobbling all week...and will be for several more.

Prosecco and Strictly it is!

StealthPolarBear · 21/09/2019 20:35

Oh no :( hope things improve
I've not had a crappy week but I've had a busy week which ended in a sleepover for four girls last night during which we naked cupcakes. I've had five hours sleep and am shattered. I also have an incredibly busy week coming up, don't actually know how I'm going to manage :(

I feel for you @SpangledBoots I broke my fifth metatarsal 4 months ago, I feel your pain

Your week sounds considerably worse OP!!

EternallyGrapefruit · 21/09/2019 20:36

Me, but it pales by comparison to yours.

~clinks glass~

Enjoy the wine. I hope the arguments are just a result of being in close quarters. Your DS will just be delighted that you're there. Hang in there xx

MyGhastIsFlabbered · 21/09/2019 20:37

Not my 5th, my 3rd...not that it really makes any difference!

Naked cupcakes sound interesting.

I hate Strictly but my mum and DB are watching it. I'm hiding in the kitchen making vegan curry...already produced vegan meringues (not even a stealth boast!)

naked cupcakes

Exsqueeze me what now?

I've got a glass of wine on the table and Strictly recording... but still trying to get an overtired 10 week old baby to sleep. He is screaming his head off. Currently sitting on the floor outside the room for five minutes to stop myself crying. GrinWine

MyGhastIsFlabbered · 21/09/2019 20:40

Oh Nobhobs. Those days are tough I'm not gonna lie. Mine are 9 and 7 now and it's flown by in the blink of an eye. It's ok to have a tired cry I
Promise you

Holy shit, that was a bad week. Passes the sav' blanc. Cloudy Bay anybody?

I'm having Strictly inflicted on me by my eldest.

However, I'm watching the TV and she's watching her phone. . .

Hennysmommy · 21/09/2019 21:21

Me... had a BFN after a failed ivf cycle Sad

MyGhastIsFlabbered · 21/09/2019 21:52

Oh @ I'm so sorry. That's shit.

Sorry for all the crap weeks.

I had a minor bump coming out of a horrible junction two weeks ago. It was technically my fault (I was emerging) although the other car was speeding slightly and too far over, and my view was obscured by a badly parked van... but whatever, it was my fault and that's that. So that's £200 we don't have to get it fixed, and losing 2yrs NCB. Could've been worse but I'm still annoyed with myself!

Crunchymum · 21/09/2019 22:02

Sorry to everyone having a crap week.

I'm at the end of one but I've decided to have a period of teetotality (3 weeks so far. Aiming to until Xmas Shock) so I'm dealing with all the shit sans wine!!

FVFrog · 21/09/2019 22:04

Tesco Finest Pinot Grigio here! Sorry for everyone’s rubbish weeks. Difficult weekend here, long story which I won’t bore you with, but my lovely friend came over for a happy hour drink and I’m now on my sofa watching tele with my gorgeous dog curled up next to me Flowers for all of you. Hope your Sunday’s are ok despite the rain forecast.

MusicToMyEars800 · 21/09/2019 22:06

My 9 and 7 year old are in bed, DP is out with his friend, I am finishing off ahem a bottle of red after a long week and my Saturday has been spent doing work training 😩

MusicToMyEars800 · 21/09/2019 22:08

To be honest I need more than this one bottle Blush but I’m all out and no way of getting
More Grin

QuestionableMouse · 21/09/2019 22:12

Also dealing with a car problem. Hit a bloody big pheasant yesterday and it's damaged something in my car. So I'm without a car until tue and god knows how much it'll cost.
