You know it's a Monday when....

[Exploitedteadrinker]

You wake up late, the washing machine pump is blocked, the dog rolls in something noxious on the way back from the school run and work calls asking you to come in early.

Anybody else enjoying the start to their week?

I’m ill.

DH made an attempt at “tidying up” yesterday. He has thrown out a lot of things that I use including my school lunch Tupperwares. Said they were in the way in the drawer.

I have to spend £ replacing them now.

Stuck in traffic FOR EVER this morning, and then everything I have tried to do at work has turned to shit, so now I'm spending hours on the phone trying to sort it all out.

I don't normally take a lunch break but today I just needed 15min not thinking about asbestos and underground service plans and crane lifts and highway closures and all the RUBBISH

Mondays happening all over the place. I hope they all improve. (lemsip for all you cold sufferers, hope you feel better soon!).

I went to the gym before work but forgot to pack a top and clean bra to put on for work afterwards.

So now I am sitting in the office wearing a down jacket completely topless underneath.

😂

Can you go and rinse your gym things out and dry them somewhere?

Well the top I wore for the gym was a lycra vest so a bit revealing! And the bra was sopping wet with sweat so I decided the coat was the best plan!

I lost my break this morning because some dickhead didn't turn up to their call so I had to cover for them.

Dp came home at around ten this morning before I left (he told them ds was sick so he needed to go home) and has been hiding in bed most of the day feeling sorry for himself apparently.

He said he spoke to his boss but I'm not sure he got anywhere with it.

He's going to start job hunting tonight. I don't blame him in the slightest. He can't carry on like this. It's making him sick.

I have to go back out to work in half an hour and now I feel a bit guilty that he has to look after ds on his own for the next three nights when really he just needs to sleep.

We all are in serious need of a holiday.

BillywigSting I really feel for your DP, being miserable at work has such a huge impact on your self esteem. I hope he has a good wallow and comes out of it fired up to find another job. And I hope your week gets better. Is there a holiday on the horizon or is it just wishful thinking?

It really does, and he absolutely does not deserve it. He's a proper grafter and works harder than anyone else I know, but his company just constantly shit on him from a great height. He gets zero recognition for the extra hours he puts into it so it stays afloat.

A holiday is mostly just wishful thinking. We do have some savings since I started my new job and we could use that to get away for a weekend, so I might see if I can persuade him. He doesn't have much annual leave left as we moved house this year (which came with it's own special little cluster fuck of issues that rinsed our previously half decent savings) and there have been a few medical problems including a hospital stay with me and ds, so it's mostly been blown on that.

I reckon we could do a long weekend but probably not a week. I work shifts so I wouldn't necessarily have to use any leave.

He seemed in a slightly better mood this evening when I came home but he's very obviously still done with the whole lot of them. Tbh, so am I now, it's not just him it's affecting. Even ds (who is 6 next week) was asking 'why is daddy so sad?' and giving him hugs and his favourite teddy to try and cheer him up.

Bunch of bloody bastards!
