I hear you op! My day of shitness included getting the dcs to sort out College and uni plans for next year (still not done); trying to explain to the in-laws that the Christmas bubble is not changeable each day (still not done) and trying to fit some actual work in between (also still not done). And to top it off I rang the butcher to order the turkey and realised once off the phone I didn’t tell him the size so we will either have one too small and have to ration it or one too big and will be eating turkey until Feb. Just couldn’t muster the energy to call back so pretending I am looking forward to the surprise element of what size turkey I will get 🤦‍♀️

3k car repair bill, my own fault for not listening to my dh when he said it wasn't a good model,

House is a shit show cause we in middle of house move,

Can't even have a cuppa as the blasted kettle is packed away!

Yes awful day, will be glad when it’s over. Dh giving me the silent treatment and sulking after a row. He’s so overbearing and I told him. Trying to hug, kiss, grab me all the time-drives me mad 😡.
He didn’t take it very well 😩

midsummabreak · 07/12/2020 21:54

Bloody hell @loubieloo4 that’s utter crap. Your Dh must be exhausting himself trying to get by without pain meds,Shock pity you can’t tell him if he won’t take them Mumsnet will bash him up. Can’t imagine what heartbreak you must be going through, and to Sexnotgender and others Unwell or in hospital, Yep, for everyone’s shit day we all need to keep playing the song from @TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross

Had an argument with me ex about child maintenance. He believes that his tax free earnings (the personal allowance of 11k or whatever it is) shouldn't be counted and only his earnings after that should be used in the calculation. So instead if paying maintenance on his 20k salary, he thinks he should only pay it on the 9k after his personal allowance is removed. Absolute fuckwit. By the end of it, I was the evil ex trying to steal his money and he was the victim.

I had ear ache yesterday and decided it would be fine to wash my hair. Big mistake. Thank god the DC are at school as I feel like crap.

Remind him your body is not his property to maul about, and a sulking manchild is a complete turn off.
YouBoggleMyMind · 07/12/2020 22:17

Yup. Today can fuck off.
Negative tests on a final round of letrozole before moving to private IVF we can't afford.
My DS decided to shove their cousin over for no reason so lots of shouting and then crying followed (from us both!)
Today can do one!

stovetopespresso · 07/12/2020 22:28

@PattyPan

Shitshow here too. My manager video-interviewed me for a promotion and I bombed so hard I lost respect for myself and him for not just hanging up on me 😬
Smile made me laugh
Dozer · 07/12/2020 22:31

Oh yes.

Shit work day! AngryAngryAngry

StillMedusa · 07/12/2020 22:32

Hideous day at school with manic children and non stop screaming (special ed) and came home to have to shave the cat...

a 25 pound ball of claws who didn't appreciate his hair cut!!!

( before anyone shouts 'cruelty' he's a huge Maine Coon who refuses to be groomed and lives 90% with our retired neighbour .. he had awful matts and has to be clippered every few months!)

We are now bearing wounds and while he doesn't look too attactive he will feel better for it!!!Grin

stovetopespresso · 07/12/2020 22:37

@TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross that's good!
ooh has anyone mentioned no deal yet coz that's all we fooshing need now

Pinkchocolate · 07/12/2020 22:42

Horrible day for me too. Found out a relative is being rushed for medical tests so am now eagerly awaiting said tests and results as this could be sadly life changing for my family. My first ever Black Friday Deal was actually fraud and am now disputing a £300 purchase. Shit shit shit!!!!

GuyFawkesDay · 07/12/2020 22:48

Yup
I have sinusitis and feel yucky.
My dad is having cancer tests.
I'm really unhappy at work but feel totally trapped.
Covid is spreading seemingly in my school and the oldest DCs. I can picture one of us getting the SI notification next Thursday.....

spends £50 on Euromillions in hope of winning

Sorry to hear about everyone else's shit days, although they do make me feel a bit less alone with what must be my worst day of 2020 so far (and I've definitely had some bad ones this year!).

I got told thi morning that my unborn baby will not survive. Then I had a blood test where they stabbed me right in a nerve - fucking hurt!!! Then a friend got pissy with me over a perceived slight and is now blanking me. Then the kids were playing up at bedtime and I was on my own with them all evening with a headache. Then dh got angry and shouty with me because I haven't thought through a plan yet about what I will tell the kids when I miscarry. I know he's anxious and wants answers but I literally found out about all this this morning ffs!!!!

Tomorrow will be much better for all of us. I have a good feeling about tomorrow Flowers.

slipperywhensparticus · 07/12/2020 22:55

Todays highlights include no milk aldi had milk but not "the milk" as on the only milk ds will drink a cat with a poopy bum pee in my bed a non sleeping 7 year old (still awake) and a plastic tag stuck on non sleeping childs big toe he didn't even cry until I told him off for not sleeping and messing with the Teddy then all hell broke loose my teen who never panics panicked when after cutting the tag off the plastic was still wrapped around his toe! it is off now but it was tense and the screams were piercing

Tell him to think of a plan

Sorry your day is so bad Flowers

Apileofballyhoo · 07/12/2020 23:03

I hope tomorrow is better for all of you.

foreverandalways · 07/12/2020 23:18

My husband tested COVID positive Saturday and extremely unwell..I am now also coughing and feeling rotten...terrified is an understatement

Eastie77 · 07/12/2020 23:35

Shit day dealing with a ridiculous work situation. A member of the team I manage has a name that is also unfortunately also the name of a symbol of hate. She is based abroad where the name is common. I was told a few weeks back that I had to 'make' her shorten the name in her email communications as it is causing offence. However she still signs off her full name as she doesn't want to shorten it. So today I had to have a long arse call with HR as someone has complained. Why the call was with me rather than my team member I do not know. I can't compel her to use a different nameConfused

I know I'm lucky to be employed in the current climate but I hate this job.

heidipi · 07/12/2020 23:45

Rubbish day here too, big virtual hugs for those really up against it. Mine are minor I know but I'm joining in:

  • realised I sent a work email about someone to that person instead of the intended recipient. I hadn't said anything bad about them but so awkward and made me cringe myself inside out.
  • more awkwardness in an encounter with DC's friend's mum, when it dawned on me that it's always so uncomfortable because she either doesn't like me, DC or both of us. So I need to find a way to avoid her twice a week now, which will be better but a PITA and require some creative thinking.
  • defrosted what I thought was delicious leftovers from the freezer to cheer myself up for tea, but turned out to be the disappointing leftovers I should have binned instead of saving. When will I learn to label frozen stuff?!?
  • in summary: aaargh, feck off Monday
Xiaoxiong · 07/12/2020 23:46

Eastie the mind boggles!! I am desperately trying to think of a woman's name that could cause offence that could be shortened. Swas? Naz? This is like the "mulva " episode of Seinfeld!

My day was ok, but then the boiler broke around 8pm and we have no heat or hot water and no timeframe for repairs (luckily the landlord is on it). The house is now properly cold - thank goodness for electric blankets but I am dreading tomorrow morning...

OnceUponAMidnightBeery · 08/12/2020 01:05

H is being a complete cunt, working in retail sucks even more than usual atm, house looks like something out of hoarders, I’ve got pmt, sore boobs, cramps and an overwhelming desire to hole up in the bottom of the airing cupboard with a bottle of gin and the dog and cry my fucking eyes out.

So sorry you’re all having a shit day too Flowers Flowers

The only way is up, right?
