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!

YANBU-In the last week of 2013 my two young sons have been very sick with Norovirus, I have just discovered that my youngest DS has an allergy to nuts when he kissed me on the lips just after i had eaten some, his face swelled up and we had to rush him to Birmingham Children's Hospital yesterday evening and my 7 year old has all the symptoms of being a Diabetic and we have to take him to the Childrens Hospital for a blood test tomorrow, so I agree 2013 can f&*k right off

skaen · 30/12/2013 20:06

I agree. My year is nowhere near as horrible as some of you have had and Flowers to everyone.

DH shattered his knee when he was knocked off his bike with DD in the trailer. The accident was in May snd he's still not able to walk much. Hmm on the plus side, DD was fine. And nothing else has been really shit.

skaen · 30/12/2013 20:07

Sorry- should have flowers to everyone.

AliceinWinterWonderland · 30/12/2013 20:11

Yes, 2013 has been an utterly shit year for me too. Not as horrible as some on here, but certainly at the top of my shit years list.

Sympathies to those who have lost loved ones.

wombat22 · 30/12/2013 20:43

Bloody hell! There are so many people on here who have suffered an atrocious year. I'm never going to complain again. I wish you all a very happy 2014 Wine and

elQuintoConyo · 30/12/2013 21:36

Christ on a rubber bike, some if you have had a horrendous year. Mine's been fine, so I shall rub up against you (((rub))) (((rub))) and hopefully you can share some of my luck x and Thanks

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 30/12/2013 22:06

An 'Annus Horribilis' here too. I have never been so glad to se the end of a year EVER!

jemjelly · 30/12/2013 22:41

I too will be glad to see the back of 2013. DH was made redundant and has been unable to find another job, diagnosed with an OCD which is gradually getting worse and depression. We will lose the house in the next few months though hopefully we will be able to stay living here as we have applied for the mortgage rescue scheme.

I am also struggling to come to terms with the fact that DD will be an only child as we can't afford another round of IVF but the way our lives are going that is probably for the best.

I wish I could see that 2014 will be better but we seem to be on a downward spiral, I feel like I have nothing to look forward to.

StolenStollen · 30/12/2013 22:46

This year started ok then everything just went wrong. Itruly cannot wait for 2014. I'm not holding my breath mind. I expect it too be bad.

Hobnobissupersweet · 30/12/2013 22:51

another annus horribulis here, buried 2 very dear relatives, and 2 very very dear friends. Plus DS1 has been very unwell, and remains so, and work has been somewhat challenging. Bring on 2014.

theclockticksslowly · 31/12/2013 00:28

I shall look on 2013 fondly solely due to the birth of my daughter. Otherwise 2013 can indeed fuck the fuck off as the worse year of my life - my dear dear DH died weeks later.

Thinking of everyone who's gone through a horrible year. xx

Allegrogirl · 31/12/2013 09:15

My year absolutely sucked too. Started with DH in knee reconstruction surgery (he has floppy, painful joints) with a lovely dose of cellulitis. Has ended with DH in hospital with a burst appendix and a bowel that stopped working. Me at home with 3 and 6 year old.

In between DD1's struggles with emotions and behaviour, DD2 with every skin complaint possible. Nothing life threatening but a lot of disturbed sleep and appointments.

My job has pushed me to the edge of sanity, anxiety levels through the roof and I think I was probably depressed.

At least no one died (though DH came close once or twice).

Roll on 2014 and best wished to everyone having a hard time.

NutcrackerFairy · 31/12/2013 09:30

So sorry for all of you who have suffered loss and misfortune in 2013 Thanks

I agree that 2013 has been a shitty awful year.

DH has been teetering on the edge of redundancy for the past year.

I had a MMC at 12 weeks in September [should be 6.5 months pregnant by now Sad]

I have had my pay frozen for the third year running.

Am hoping that 2014 will be much much better with better financial standing and stability. Oh and a healthy pregnancy and baby would be nice too!

Best wishes to you all for 2014!!!

VikingVagine · 31/12/2013 09:42

Flowers to all who have had a crap year.

I'll join you with telling 2013 to fuck right off.

MIL, my DFM (foster mum) and my God Father all passed away.
I had two miscarriages.
The sewage pipe overflowed three times, flooding the garage.
I had a massive nervous breakdown and if it hadn't been for my amazing DH I would have lost custody of my DCs.

Roll on 2013.

Flowers and virtual hugs to all of you who have had a shitty year.

I wish you all the very very best in 2014. Wine here's to you all

Skogkatter · 31/12/2013 10:50

I'll join with you. 2013 hasn't been our year.

DP had a cardiac arrest in Jan, and another in August.
DS1 had five months of school due to anxiety.
I had a miscarriage at 21wks.
Bank fraud against us, in Nov.

MrsClauswearsspanx · 31/12/2013 14:30

Thanks to all. Roll on 2014!

Islenka · 31/12/2013 14:40

I agree. Fuck off 2013. Bring on a peaceful 2014!

Thanks and Wine too everyone!

sparklyma · 31/12/2013 16:48

I've had a pretty crap year too but reading the posts of others has put it into perspective. Also it was no where near as bad as the shite that was 2011 (the worst year of my life).

This year I was made redundant.
I split up with my DP.
I lost a friend (well we've drifted apart which makes me sad every time I think of it).

but I've had some good things happen too:
A new house, a new car, a new job.

2014 is going to kick arse. I am going to get slimmer and fitter. I have a good friend visiting in the summer who I haven't seen for 3 years (she lives abroad).

Rosa · 31/12/2013 16:52

Crikey reading some of these makes me realise how bloody lucky I am to have had a good year. Wishing all of those who have had a crap 2013 to have a wonderful 2014... Well at least a better year than this one.

SugarMiceInTheRain · 31/12/2013 17:05

Big hugs to those of you who have had such a bad year. Mine has only really been bad in terms of my depression and a couple of relatives (much loved but not immediate family) dying.

Thanks for you all. Here's to a much better 2014...

Sallystyle · 31/12/2013 17:37

So many losses :(

2014 can't get much worse, right?

Mind you, I fear three of my kids have just started the grieving process so we have a very long way to go before things are calmer and 2014 isn't going to be exactly easy either.

My mental illness sucks as well.

I kinda want the world to stop so I can get off.

Much love to you all. I don't drink but I think I might tonight.

CuntyBunty · 31/12/2013 17:57

Yeah 2013 has been the worst year of my life. I have never cried so much in a year. Nan died at beginning of year, sudden, agonising back problems for me in summer lasting months (ironically, nan used to suffer and I didn't understand how bad it was until it happened to me too late), Dad was an absolute shit to us in November, with a big fall out, meaning I can't and won't deal with him any more.

I tell you what though, fellow Mnetters; I am fucking strong. I've lost a stone and a half this year, been able to cycle up two big hills without stopping after a few months practice and I have discovered that I can have lots of cracking orgasms if I "put the effort in". Also closer to DH than ever after 20 years together.

I am expecting redundancy in the early new year and am pleased as I need to do a better job; I am hoping to get into the retained fire services as a fire fighter. I am looking forward to the challenge.

Hope all of you who have had an evil year have a better one in 2014. I'd just settle for a boring year after this one.

elmerelephant · 31/12/2013 18:03

I had a shite 2012, compounded by all those feckin "what a fantastic year" programmes at the end of it. So had minor wobble in January, and decided that 2013 was going to be sooooooooo much better, and tonight Im going out for champagne as it was, woohoo.

You can do it, put 2013 in its box and get on with 2014, and Im positive that we can raise a glass together this time next year
