A 6. I need baileys.

GrouchyKiwi · 23/12/2021 19:23

I was about a 3. We've all got colds and we're all grumpy because of it.

But now that I've put on Boney M's Christmas album I'm feeling about a 9. Grin

Glad i'm not alone in this. Any other year i'm a 10. This yr barely scraping a 1. I've never felt less christmassy.
I'm doing the whole fake it till you make it thing and waiting for that Christmas excitement to start - better hurry up its practically boxing day. Funnily i'm more excited for New Years and the Spring.

10!

Had my booster earlier, felt dreadful and down to about a 3, had paracetamol and now full of (probably false) optimism!

LER83 · 23/12/2021 19:28

About 4. I normally love Christmas but this year has really felt like a chore. Not sure why. Be glad when its boxing day!

10! Been doing Christmassy stuff since 1st December and really enjoying my time off work spending time with family. I know I'm very lucky to be in this position. After a shit few years I am grabbing hold of it with both hands and enjoying every moment of it. Xmas SmileXmas SmileXmas Smile

HarrisMcCoo · 23/12/2021 19:30

Probably 2/3. Just not really a Christmassy person.

HarrisMcCoo · 23/12/2021 19:32

Feeling shit with a sore throat isn't helping. Not interest in getting merry as just not 100%. All that wine can just sit🤷

Around a 1. DD is working on the wards on both Christmas Day and Boxing Day, and DS1 has just phoned to say he and his GF are feeling a bit rubbish so I’m going to take some LFTs over to them. DMiL is on her own and it’s all a bit shit.

-10

Have never felt this un-festive before (and last Christmas it was just 3 months after my mum died suddenly and unexpectedly)

I am trying to fake it fir my very excited children but I'd happily fast forward the next week and wake up on 2nd January.

FionnulaTheCooler · 23/12/2021 19:37

About a 7 at the minute. I've delivered all my presents and got the Christmas snacks out of the secret box in the garage where I've been slowly adding to the stash for the past few weeks. Planning to open my annual bottle of Amaretto later for a tipple since I'm now off work until January.

1 or 2 at most. I don't really like cooking that much and cooking for such a big event for several people makes me nervous. I kind of inherited it from my mother in law after she died

Hope you've done LFTs, especially if you are having visitors!

8.5! It’s been a shit year and a really shit month but my eldest is home from his dads we’ve had a lovely day collecting the Xmas shop, watching cheesy Christmas films and playing Christmas music. Little ones are in bed and DS1 and I are watching spider man (old school Toby Maguire) and eating homemade pizza.

BorisBooster · 23/12/2021 19:42

4 ish. Going down hill rapidly.

GrouchyKiwi · 23/12/2021 19:43

Mandyjack It's just us this year, and none of us have fevers anyway. Smile

megletthesecond · 23/12/2021 19:43

Like you , barely a 1.
I'm so tired, I've had weeks of school refusal hell from DD and my IBS has reared its' head again. I just want to sleep for a month.

HerRoyalNotness · 23/12/2021 19:46

-5. Feeling very lonely, more so than last year. Trying to do some special things for the D.C. and playing music for the spirit of things. Will be glad when it’s over. Can’t take a holiday, again. Haven’t seen family in 4 yrs (live abroad), and no hope of seeing them in the next 4. Just had a commiseration with my Dr as she’s in the same position. Not much cheer around, few friends I have are away. Nothing Christmassy planned and it’s going to be 80F in the middle of winter, FFS

Banjobollo · 23/12/2021 19:49

Probably a 2. Got Covid and although I am feeling better I can’t taste or smell anything and don’t feel like drinking…I can’t even muster the enthusiasm for a mince pie and a Baileys!

YetAnotherWalk · 23/12/2021 19:49

1 or 2 maybe. Hoping it'll come together tomorrow.
