I’m having the shittest evening

Just had a 20-hour plane journey for work. Really jet lagged. 15 minutes ago my hotel was evacuated with a fire alarm. I put my coat over my pyjamas and got out. Once outside, I thought I may as well have dinner (was too tired to get out until now). While I’m waiting for my food, a mouse runs under the table next to mine.

Anyone else having a crap night?

Can I join in? I’ve had a fabulous holiday and start nights tomorrow with A new nursing agency, and I’ve been offered the choice of;

A delivery suite that had 6 beds and rural and lovely (but still a delivery suite)

Or a labour ward with 18 beds consultant lead, either way I’m going to be with babies all night 😕 I can’t say no because it’s my first shift with the agency.

2 of my dc have a diarrhoea bug. I also have an 8 week old puppy. I also got the diarrhoea bug today. My eldest (suspected asd) had a huge meltdown and refused school. Finally got her into the car in time to get there before morning break. Car wouldn't start.
Got back into house and had 2 pairs of shit filled pants, legs, bits, and feet to wash plus a puppy poo to pick up, but not before running to the loo myself the whole time being followed by an upset 8 year old and a bouncy pup.
Basically couldn't have been more filled with shit!!

Oh ffs wrote a reply and my computer swallowed it Angry
Condensed version - shitty work trip to Copenhagen years and years ago. Flight and hotel rooms so crap that I went to Mcdonalds to console myself, and ate a burger while watching a mouse run in circles under my table.

Today: bedroom window jammed an inch open, we're in seeing distance of the sea, most of which is now in my bedroom through the sodding gap in my window. Not sure which is going to wake me up, the imminent frostbite or a seagull gnawing on my frozen toes Sad

I've phoned a solicitor today to make an appointment because my marriage is fucked.
Sorry everyone is having a crap day too

Tippz, if you think eating mediocre food in your pyjamas in a rodent-infested restaurant is a stealth boast, I can only assume that you’re a hobo. That must be tough.

I was having a shit evening until I read this and it made me laugh far more than it should have done. I didn't see the original comment before it got removed, but this reply is absolute gold.

I'm recovering from having my gallbladder removed, have infected stitches and a wound thats not healing properly (it looks like a big hole in my side still since some of the stitches popped, even though my surgery was last Friday). I've been laid up in bed, watching every shit tv show and film on Netflix and feeling sorry for myself.

Tonight, one of the cats jumped onto the bed, started meowing and rubbing against my legs under the cover. I though "aaw thats sweet, shes come to show me some love and make me feel better". Then she made eye contact. . . and promptly vomited. Angry

I got a temporary Xmas day today in a warehouse so I can pay the bills.
Had no look getting something I’m trained to do and Dp was made redundant 6 months ago.
I’m dreading picking orders for a well known company for 12 hours a day as of tomorrow.
But needs must.@NextIndia Flowers

Not day... job

Scelestus · 06/11/2017 23:55

None of the sad evenings sound like boasts. I know it’s scorned, but I’ve delurked (unlurked?) to send some kind thoughts and best wishes, initially to an OP who sounded tired and fed up after one thing after another went awry. Who hasn’t had a day/evening/night where everything that could go wrong has? And sometimes a kind word can make a difference.

It’s not a shit evening competition. It’s people having a grim time who have had a quick vent. Best wishes to you all. Flowers

And Comey, the leak was a hotel shower, leaking into the hotel restaurant....

abbey44 · 06/11/2017 23:55

I know this is pretty minor in the greater scheme of things, but I'm knitting something complicated (for me) and I've just seen a mistake which means I've had to unravel about three evening's worth of work and hope I've managed to pick up all the stitches ok. I've resorted to a glass of wine and wondering why I thought knitted things would make good Christmas presents.

Punkatheart · 07/11/2017 00:02

Everyone's shit evening are all relative and unique to them. Sending more good thoughts and a 'pah' to all this bad luck.

gluteustothemaximus · 07/11/2017 00:11

Sorry for everyone’s crap times.

Today has been shite.

DD has a hacking cough, and is up all night. I have caught it today. Plus heavy period started today. Plus a lovely migraine so I could hardly work.

Plus toddler is getting the bug too and wants to breastfeed all the time so I am exhausted.

And teacher emailed to say DS teen is being an arse at school and not doing his homework.

Hate being ill.

I don't know why this made me laugh out loud, but it did. Then I got wrong off DH for 'making noise and vibrating' while he is trying to sleep Grin

Punkatheart · 07/11/2017 00:23

Get better soon, glut. Children too.

MissConductUS · 07/11/2017 00:24

Sorry to all for your crap days.

All I've got is that tomorrow is election day here in the US. Given what happened the last time we went to the polls I'll probably end up with a psychotic chimpanzee representing me in Congress.

Better luck to you all.🙏

PovertyPain · 07/11/2017 00:32

You already do. 😬

ethelfleda · 07/11/2017 01:26

I have a week old baby who is cluster feeding and feel like I haven't slept in days.

My 48 hour old is wholly nocturnal and had shredded my nipples. Just as well he’s cute.

Comeymemo · 07/11/2017 05:32

Scelestus, I kept picturing a leek!! Blush I blame the jet lag.

Again, sorry to everyone going through really difficult times.

Ah, but Edinburgh mice are very civilised.... Blush. Welcome to Edinburgh, it does get better. If they would only stop construction work all over the place sending mice overground.

Mum2OneTeen · 07/11/2017 06:34

I have a tooth abscess, now on antibiotics after an hour long session the dentist yesterday, still v. painful today though. Been groggy all day from pain killer. Had to go into town this afternoon for an appt, then just got home and tripped face first over a hose at home.

So now sore and bruised all over, quite a crap 24 hours for me too!

namechange2222 · 07/11/2017 06:38

Spent the afternoon watching back to back series 1 of 'The A Word'. Have cried ever since having to come to terms with the fact that my little GS really doesn't just have a severe expressive and receptive language delay. Also cried recognising myself in some of the family characters. Cried realising just what my poor daughter is going through

My comment got deleted Shock It didn't even contain any swear words.

Crazy8 · 07/11/2017 07:30

Sorry for everyone having a horrendous time time.

I've had severe gastroenteritis since Friday. I'm totally bed bound other than for visits to the bathroom. Yesterday whilst on the toilet with my guts spilling out (sorry for TMI), the water company decided to stop our water supply whilst they repaired a leak down the road. Luckily it's back on now. I washed my hands with sparkling water!

I went to the kitchen and slipped on a dropped chip falling promptly on my arse.

Punkatheart · 07/11/2017 09:19

Washing your hands with sparkling water is very Downton Abbey. But sorry about your chip-induced sore bum, Crazy. Get better soon.
