AIBU to rant that 2013 can just fuck the fuck off to the far side of fuck....

...and when it gets there can fuck off some more!!

This year has been beyond shit for me. My marriage nearly broke down...my Mum died (two weeks ago)...my Nan is about to...I've been ill on and off for weeks (probably stress induced) and have now just found out I've more than likely got bloody kidney stones Angry

I was really looking forward to one last blow-out tomorrow night to tell the year to piss off and now I can't even have a drink because of bastard anti-biotics.

Not after sympathy as such, I just wanted to shout and scream and stamp my foot and invite anyone else who's had a shit year to do the same.

Here's to a better 2014...which for me would just be a year that's bearable!

Sorry for your loss Thanks

And for all the other shit Sad

BreakOutTheKaraoke · 30/12/2013 19:09

Sorry to hear about your Mum and Nan, and your bad year. Completely agree...2013 can fuck off, and roll on 2014.

Google your antibiotics, there are some you can drink with.

wombat22 · 30/12/2013 19:12

Wait till New Year to start the antibiotics, then see the year out in style. Hope 2014 is happier for you Thanks

TeresaGreene · 30/12/2013 19:14

Too right, 2013 can go fuck itself! Here's hoping for a far happier 2014 for everyone!

It's "not advised" (Amoxicillin)

I've only just finished a week's course for a bloody chest infection (they thought the pain in my side was a pulled muscle from coughing).

I'm not usually a moaner...I'm more of a dignified stoic type Grin

But yes...I'm pissed off. Even if I could drink I don't really feel like it. At best I have a kidney infection and they've given me di-hydrocodeine for the pain which doesn't go great with drink.

I'll just have to postpone my NYE. We're going to a friend's as we're all in the same boat (young children, no baby-sitters) so the kids are having a sleepover while we have some food etc. I'm determined to have a good time.

That's very, very bad Sad

Sorry for all your losses and I hope you have a more peaceful 2014.

Try to take care of yourself.

Sallystyle · 30/12/2013 19:18

I agree it can fuck the fuck off.

I am sorry for your loss. Three of my young children just buried their father today so you have my condolences.

2014 has to be better, right?

InTheRedCorner · 30/12/2013 19:19

Kidney stones can fuck the fuck off to the far side of fuck, they are fucking painful.

Only good side to them are the drugs, I was flying on tramadol this time last year.

Sory to hear about you shitty year. Wishing you a much better 2014 Thanks

elQuintoConyo · 30/12/2013 19:19

Oh yes, 2013 cooked sock.

Thanks for you x

AlexReidsLonelyBraincell · 30/12/2013 19:20

YA most definitely NBU.

What a shitty year, I'm so sorry for your losses. Hope 2014 is like the sun coming out after a horrendous rainstorm.

I hope you have a lovely time, good company and good food, promise yourself a lovely big champagne cocktail for when you're feeling better. Flowers

Oh that's awful SamU2 I'm so sorry, what a shitty time of year for it. My Mum's funeral isn't for a couple of weeks and I still don't think it's hit me yet.

Some good things to look forward to so we don't drown in the depths of despair. My daughter starts nursery next week, I'm so proud Smile she's been such a little star...I don't know how I'd have got through if it wasn't for her.

Sorry for your loss and fwiw my gp told me that the only antibiotic to watch out for is metranadizole. I have drank on that too with no ill effects but by way of disclaimer appreciate it may not be the same for others!
Wouldn't mix alcohol and codeine though.
Again sorry for your loss

MrsClauswearsspanx · 30/12/2013 19:22

Fuck 2013.

The highlight was my dd being born. Two months later the bad started and didn't stop.

My son, 7, nearly had a fatal accident while abroad with his dad.

My DH got a speeding ticket whilst dealing with above emergency. He forgot about due to all the other shit and now has a court summons.

Our car we just financed last year completely broke down.

We moved ill MIL in, rented out her flat...flat flooded. Can't claim because the excess is too high. Still 100's of £'s worth of damage.

MIL died. Even though she was ill it happened so fast we werent prepared.

MIL's car, that we were hoping to sell for a new engine for other car, got hit whilst parked outside. Bloke who did it is dodgy so no insurance payout. Car has completely lost value.

DH has been diagnosed with psoriasis arthritis and has to start cancer drug that makes him ill. Hasn't been able to start it because of all the shit going on.

DH lost job because of ill MIL. She only wanted him with her at the end and his work had no compassionate leave. She didn't plan for funeral so we have that to pay now, too.

I have had abnormal smear and have to go in for further treatment.

DHs youngest son, 3, had a "meningitis-like strains" of a virus and was in hospital for weeks.

Fucking year. It can only get better for us both, OP.

FrantasticO · 30/12/2013 19:24

Scarlet lady, next year must be better.
Samu don't know what to say but hope you and your kids are ok.

Both of you are brave strong women, take care.

mumtosome61 · 30/12/2013 19:25

Much love to all. I think 2013 has been a gash year for most people I know.

As for me - yeah, 2013 was an interesting year. I survived two suicide attempts, stopped looking in the past and got rid of several toxic relationships, started a shit load of therapy, cried more than I've ever cried before, lost 7 (now 6) stone, got over my alcohol dependency, weaned off valium (mostly) and moved into an owned home with my boyfriend. There were dark moments where I knew it was the end, and happy moments by the beach drinking in control, BBQ's, hugs and realising my boyfriend is a buttache but loves me.

Ellengriswold · 30/12/2013 19:26

If you fancy a drink (in moderation) there are no known interactions with amoxicillin. From a pharmacist and fellow NYE hater!! Google NHS amoxicillin if you want to double check.
Agree with the rest

MrsClauswearsspanx · 30/12/2013 19:26

Oh I thought other people would come on and moan about their year, too. Blush

Thanks Sorry, OP.

waterlego6064 · 30/12/2013 19:34

Oh a rubbish year indeed scarlet, next year HAS to be better! So sorry for your loss.

Samu, MrsClaus, what bad luck you've had too.

I'm another one glad to see the back of it. My mum was diagnosed with stomach cancer, gradually deteriorated, had gruelling chemo, ended up in hospital. While she was there, my dad became suddenly, dramatically ill and was subsequently diagnosed with multiple brain tumours. He died 4 weeks later, and mum 10 weeks after that. Awful year. Am hoping for a really mundane 2014 :)

Misspixietrix · 30/12/2013 19:40

Oh it can indeed fuck off to the far side of fuck! So sorry to hear about your Mum and your Nan :(

MrsClauswearsspanx · 30/12/2013 19:44

So sorry, waterlego Thanks

londonrach · 30/12/2013 19:53

Hope 2014 is a better year for you. You are me a just over a year ago with redundancies, 2x family deaths with in 5 days, breast cancer, broken leg in family member,living in about 5 locations over the year. For me 2013 was alot better year than previous couple. So heres to 2014 which will bring op a better hand. Also hoping water has a better year. Xxxx

waterlego6064 · 30/12/2013 19:55

Thanks and un-MNy hugs to londonrach, mumtosome and everyone else who's had bad luck this year.

Squidwardtenticles · 30/12/2013 19:56
