Welcome!
I have no friends, my family hate me and I am a drunk!
I have decided to spend the evening with a chilled Chenin blanc, some oatcakes and jarlsburg and anyone lovely enough to join me.
Criteria for entry: you must have a miserable life too. No joy allowed.

Can I join please? I've been having treatment for anal cancer which is totally humiliating. The chemo has (probably) worked but I'm left with a colostomy bag (which doesn't work properly) and a whole host of nasty pelvic radiation damage. So tonight I'm going to join the pity party cos I'm fed up! Oh and I'm lock down fat and everyone expects you to at least lose weight if you've had cancer... so I'm eating cheesy garlic bread

I have cheddars and primula cheese spread for dinner, what goes best, peroni or Sauvignon blanc?
I’m watching property brothers for hours Sad

Drinking Prosecco and feeling pissed off as I was having a lighthearted chat with my DH earlier about "undeniable signs you could give as a ghost to prove the existence of an afterlife" and he got quite unreasonably annoyed, shouted at me to "just shut the fuck up and let me fucking speak" which shocked me so much I burst into tears. SO out of character! Apparently he had a really good suggestion but I was still explaining mine. No excuse. Fucked off and extremely sad and humiliated at being shouted at in the same manner as my dad used to. Quiet, female. A man wants to share his thoughts.

I'm finishing off an Easter Egg too!

@MrsBobDylan sorry to hear what your going through... contact your GP if your feeling depressed and I hope you're getting support with kids. Can you move?

To everyone going through a difficult timeFlowers, ask for support if you can... it has helped me!

I'm going to keep mixers stocked for future PPGrin

My woes mark me out as not a very nice person but I have to say it somewhere so here goes, DP is having chemo and the steroids he has to take make him angry and hard to live with. he has chemo two weeks out of three and I have just worked out that when we get married in 6 weeks time he'll be Mr Angry. I love him but I hate the chemo, I hate that the treatment he is having is only buying time and not a cure and I hate that the steroids change him so much. (I am well aware that makes me not nice, I shouldn't be complaining but I am only human)

DP was saying the same thing about weight loss, he is one of the few people with his cancer that have put weight on.

I hope they can sort out the issues so you can enjoy life again.

Wowsers, you lot know how to party. I'm imagining lots of empty bottles and discarded food wrappers.

One2late · 09/04/2021 20:11

@jb7445

Can I join? My pity party is a bit pathetic, but after a really long, tough week at work I've just learnt that my husband needs to work all weekend as his job today was cancelled 'out of respect for Prince Philip'. So we'll have no time together at all. I'm consoling myself with cider and chilli chocolate.
I get ya! My husband works all week and has Monday tuesday off. I work those days and finish late of all days on tuesday. Always fricking trying to make time to see him.

I could stay in doors for months if I could. Is there so.ething wro g with me

marthastew · 09/04/2021 20:14

I'm having fish and chips and white wine. 2 out of 3 kids with SEN. No money for anything even though I work all hours. Have spent today looking at kids meeting up in the park to play and my kids haven't had a single invitation to meet up and play with anyone.

All the happy people can sling their happy hooks.

FrasierCraneDay · 09/04/2021 20:17

To add to my pity, my boss is a fucking moron. I will not answer emails on a Friday evening that have nothing to do with what I've done or what I shall be doing on Monday. For the poxy wage I'm on, not happening! Fuckwit

@CuckooCuckooClock are you ok?
Thanks for starting the PP💐

Chocobudbrownies · 09/04/2021 20:36

Brownies are done everyone!

PrelovedWithValue · 09/04/2021 20:38

I'm sitting on my own work a big bag of giant wotsits and a glass of rocks blackcurrant squash.

This as exciting as my Fridays get. Am I allowed to join?

PoutineQueen · 09/04/2021 20:42

@Chocobudbrownies

I have 12 brownies, plenty to go round those who've asked. They're a bit of an arseache to make, with the carbing and buttering, but soon, I will not care a bit haha
How are they hitting? Are they strong?
Allington · 09/04/2021 20:44

Another one with toothache - plus, in my case, gin

PoutineQueen · 09/04/2021 20:45

I'm in bed now. So...does anyone else fill an XL coffee flask with G&T so they can go to bed for a peaceful drink?

Or do I have issues?? If I do don't tell me.

PoutineQueen · 09/04/2021 20:45

It's my "herbal tea" if anyone wants to copy

EasterEggBelly · 09/04/2021 20:47

because apparently he's 14 and one of the fucking Goonies instead of nearly 41 and a father of two

@UnsolicitedDickPic I think your DH may also be my DH. He is definitely one of the Goonies.

I was one of the goonies earlier and just fucked off and left dh to it. Bit naughty I know but needs must. I’ll be up in the night multiple times while he sleeps with his ear plugs so no real guilt
