Anyone else having a shitty New Year's Eve ?

[wetasstenalady]

Just had news of another friend passing away (second in three days) and my takeaway simply hasn't turned up and i can't get hold of anyone.
Been a pretty bad year (family bereavement and personal Heath issues) and had just hoped for one nice evening

I’m so sorry you’re having a rough night, it’s not too much to want your meal delivered
Dreadful to have lost loved ones, and health issues .it must feel like one thing after another

I'm so sorry you lost your friends. That's so sad.

I think the takeaways will be inundated tonight.

So sorry for your loss. We ordered our takeaway lunchtime for delivery tonight. All good except we got more than we ordered. We are off to bed now, although the dog doesn’t like fireworks and there are lots going off.

Sorry for the loss of your friend OP.

I wanted a takeaway tonight but avoided it for this reason. One not turning up when I want it would be the straw that broke the camels back.

Nothing against new years eve but I've got a headache, need an early night, as does DP who is a key worker leaving for work at 4am after a 12 hour shift until 10m tonight and the neighbours are clearly in it for the long haul next door and having a celebration with their kids (all allowed etc,nothing against them it's just noisy). Am getting increasingly annoyed as time goes on as I'm desperate to doze off!

Yep. BIL in hospital with covid and lung cancer, treatment withdrawn so end of life care only. I was planning to go to my parents house tonight (my bubble) but developed symptoms today so had to isolate and have a test. Currently exiled to my bedroom by DS who is asthmatic and has no symptoms so hoping he's not got it.

Amy sign of takeaway or have you been able to get through?

What a shitty thing about your friends, sorry

The highlight of my entire New Year's Eve has been a bowl of apple crumble and custard. So, y'know, can't really complain.

Been in my PJs all day. Children at their other parents. Night in, in front of rubbish TV. Reading posts on Mumsnet and trying to be hopeful for a better new year.
Think of you OP. Sending ❤️

Dad on end of life care so at my parents with 16yo DD.

Mum is a raving Brexiteer, Dad is away with the pixies, DD has a face like a smacked arse as she could have had her pick of parties if we weren't Tier 4 and is worried about her mocks being put back.

Trying and failing to get pissed...

Yes, waiting on the take away to arrive, ordered 3 hours ago, drinking gin, slightly pissed, my devil car (Range Rover) decided to play up today, my mam is not well, kids are bored. My business is destroyed re covid, the pug prefers my dh, but ... we all safe and well so don't give a royal shite

Disclaimer I drive a Range Rover and I have a pug... I'm so not middle class or posh .. I'm very much at this point, drunken working class Irish! Happy new year!!!

NYE is the night I met my husband , 32 years ago. After 29 years of marriage, I discovered he had cheated on me . Still here in the house because of Covid. I am hiding in my room , crying about the wasted years. Wish I never met him.

@stillfunny
I’m so sorry
Didn’t want to read and run.
It was about 29 years ago when I found out about my cheating husband.
He told me on Christmas Eve.
I put on a face for xmas day and told the kids day
If you’re hiding , In your room.
I take it he’s there.

Take it from someone who has been there. It does get better.
It was about 15 years ago and I’ve been with a lovely man for the last 12 and married him 5.5 years ago.
Never give up hope that this won’t get better because it will once you ride it out.

Mine did me a favour. He even had the good grace to die 6 years ago so I don’t have to bump into him at family celebrations which is a blessing.

Kids on Boxing Day

On my own watching Jools Holland and drinking champagne. It's been a shit year. In tons of ways, bad news and loss and falling out with someone very very dear to me. Jobs at risk as I'm about to move house.

Friends. My friends have been closer and kinder and saviours of my soul. That's a lot of walks we've been on.

So sorry for all with very poorly relatives
Chinese turned up now- three hours late but I've eaten now

Had a petty argument with my DH and sleeping in the spare room the perfect end to 2020!

Made the mistake of checking emails at 10pm. Email from estate agent to tell me that I have lost the house I was about to purchase as the vendor has decided to go with another offer. The sale was agreed in September and we are literally days away from exchange. I will lose over 2k and now have to pick myself up and find another house to buy. The family home is being sold because my exDH left me after 25 years of marriage. It is the culmination of the worst two years of my life. This feels like the final straw.

Sorry to hear about your friends OP

Here's hoping for a better 2021

Thought I was coping with all the crap this year has thrown at us until my Dd rang to tell me she has been diagnosed with breast cancer, she is only 41 and a breast cancer specialist nurse.

Pretty crap. Working a night shift in A+E.

I've worked every new years eve for 24 years but this just feels horrible this year. Morale is so low.

Oh no Originalyellowbelly I'm so sorry, you're poor Daughter.

Thinking of you all

Thank you all (genuinely) as you've put my general bad mood and anger into perspective.
Dalmatian, I would offer flowers but it seems so pathetic. Wishing you and all your colleagues well x

Oh yellow belly. How utterly shit.

Oh my sympathies to you all going through tough times for one reason or another, hugs and best wishes to all, hopefully 2021 brings better health and joy to all our loved ones.
