am sat in bed crying feeling like failure again

[littlemissangrypants]

so last year was hell for many reasons. This year was going to be our year. At just past midnight we were sat in bed watching the fireworks on iplayer and the bed broke. I feel fat and upset now :-(
So am I being unreasonable to hide in bed for all of 2013 so nothing bad happens to me?

Laugh it off!!!

You can't hide in bed if it is broken! :) you will be fine. Sorry you have had a shitty year :( all the best for 2013 though!

That's a bit shite angrypants Mattress on the floor, won't do you any harm for a bit xxx

Sex on the floor is better than on a soft bed.......happy New Year!

It's not broken anymore, I just fixed it.. The screws were so short it's a wonder it supported the mattress let alone us... Tomorrow we will get longer screws, fix it properly and 2013 will be awesome...

Broke the bed, hey? welcoming in the new year in style?

Don't feel like a failure, think of all you've achieved this year and plan ahead for this years goals

^ awwwwwww

:)

Sweet.

I meant MrAngryPants' post.

That's lovely :) A very happy 2013 to the pair of you. It's certain to be awesome if it's got you in it.

he is not that nice... he managed to point out that only my side had broken

what is wrong & can it be fixed?

longer screws - that is what you need LMAP!!

You sound lovely MAP!!

not the bed, I mean in general

That's because your side is where all the hot action occurs. It's rattling that damages the frame not weight

oh god you are totally right honey dragon. Fell much better and have almost forgiven mr angry pants. Thank you. Mumsnet has been a huge help and my lifeline when i needed it. Maybe 2013 wont be so bad after all. I'm still going on a diet. Am 15st and getting bigger. Fingers crossed mr angry pants will help

I will help with all the exercise I can x

we have a motivational monday thread to lose weight and get healthy! Feel free to join us
(unless you're lms, in which case you've already been...sorry if I am mixing up the name changes)

Longer screws in 2013 will help with the weight loss

longer screws huh? think you have been having too many of those already... too much bouncing on your side of the bed huh... and you are going to have a better 2013... wow

Could be worse. Imagine if the bed than fell trough the floorboards!

It's a sign. Can you not go on the crafty threads and request a MNer to cross stitch you a "longer screws" sampler and hang it over your bed as a exercise motivator?

DH had to fix the spare bed just before Christmas or DD2 would also have been on the floor.

l'm also not light and I fear twas me who stood on it and broke it

Happy new year and may Mr Nd Mrs Angrypants have a comfortable night and a brilliant 2013

littlemissangrypants at least MrAngryPants fixed the bed. I would still be nagging reminding my DP it needed doing months later.

Hope this year is a better one! With longer screws all the time.

It's all exercise, innit?

littlemissangrypants I'm 16 st plus and will be doing the couch to 5k programme from the NHS website to get fit (and thinner). You have my support all the way

What a lovely thread. Have a fab 2013.
