To feel fucking sorry for myself. Anyone else?

Anyone else just feel fucking sorry for themselves today?

I have woken up with a cold. Just a cold. Except I feel bloody awful, couldn't sleep all night and now have to go to work with a razor blade throat, running nose and listen to clients moan about us daring to be closed over Christmas.

Who else is having a shitty Monday already?

Oh I've got a cold too! No idea where it came from. I sympathise.

'Luckily' I'm already off work so don't have to go in

YorkshirePuddingsGreatestFan · 17/12/2018 08:58

I had abdominal surgery last week. I have to remove my dressings today and check the stiches. One of them is stuck to my pubes. So while still feeling sore and unwell, I have to give myself an inadvertent bikini wax as well Blush

ThanosSavedMe · 17/12/2018 09:02

Why do you have to go into work op. I’m also feeling like shit and have done for the last 3 days. I am not going into work

Snowwontbelong · 17/12/2018 09:02

Checked bank last night and realised rent payment will bounce today.
Dd's woke me up ranting for pairs of tights..
*I am not the fucking tights fairy.

SagelyNodding · 17/12/2018 09:02

Oooh I'll join you for a moan! Haven't had a proper night's sleep since Thursday, got a rotten cold and my stomach is feeling dodgy... DS was sick in the night all over his bed from overdosing on sweets and cake for his birthday...
I'd stay home from work but I have 2 parent meetings I can't reschedule Sad it's going to be a looong week!

MarthaHanson · 17/12/2018 09:14

Me. I’m a vicar’s wife and this Christmas, for a variety of reasons, is a real shocker.
I just want to fuck off on a plane to Fiji.
By myself.

UpstartCrow · 17/12/2018 09:16

I vote we all go to Fiji with Martha.

Blacktoffeecat · 17/12/2018 09:19

Can I come to Fiji? I have a cold and laryngitis- haven’t spoken since Saturday.
I have to practice Dentistry on Wednesday Shock which will be interesting if I still can’t speak.

Getoffthetableplease · 17/12/2018 09:24

Yes, ds2 crying for Daddy all through the night, all this morning, now we've done the school run for eldest I have to fight Christmas traffic in town to take him with me to the job centre to beg for help aka a commitments meeting (to find me work, as my hours aren't enough for their liking) as their darling Daddy decided the grass was greener elsewhere and he was up and gone three weeks back. I feel spaced on my new meds, and unsure how to mentally cope with Christmas. Nevermind Monday sucking, 2018 can do one now Sad

MarthaHanson · 17/12/2018 09:26

All put upon, frustrated, exhausted fuckers are welcome on my Fiji trip.

GreyCloudsToday · 17/12/2018 09:31

I’d like to come to Fiji. Almost 6 months of new baby sleep deprivation has wrecked my head. And 75 projects landed in my inbox last night to mark over the Christmas “break”

GreyCloudsToday · 17/12/2018 09:32

Luckily the baby is super cute Grin

Bowchicawowow · 17/12/2018 09:34

Can I come to Fiji too? Please?

Frlrlrubert · 17/12/2018 09:34

Can I join in? DD has hand-foot-and-mouth. I felt like shit yesterday but put it down to sleep derivation from her being distressed Sat night.

I've come to work today and feel faint and weird, been sick. My current class is covered and I'm sat in the staff room because the head won't let me drive home. What's betting when I tell him I'm feeling a bit better he suggests I can teach (joke - I hope).

I can't work out if it's freezing in here of it it's me Sad

SultanasofPing · 17/12/2018 09:36

Can I join in please? I've broken my leg and can't do half of what I need to before Xmas. Will they let me on the flight to Fiji with my cast and crutches?? :)

UpstartCrow · 17/12/2018 09:37

I promise not to ruin the Fiji holiday by mentioning I have a Bartholins gland cyst Envy
I know I mentioned it just then but I wont do it again.

HolyandWild · 17/12/2018 09:39

I want to come to Fiji but I couldn't even afford the passport and apparently I'd have to be home for tea or they'd all starve. Can I come anyway?

JaceLancs · 17/12/2018 09:42

Yes I’m feeling sorry for myself
Struggling with DM with dementia in own home and DF recent stroke and now in nursing home CHC funding turned down and current home say they can’t meet his needs as so complex
I needed a few days break from my very stressful job but looks like that will now be taken up by trying to find somewhere who will take him - apparently I only have 7 working days to sort it!
DD who normally helps is too ill herself to go near elderly people
DB is away so just me as usual

thefishwhocouldwish · 17/12/2018 10:03

I've had horrendous mouth ulcers on my tongue since last Tuesday. I've had about ten days clear since the last batch healed, those lasted almost two weeks. I have the week off work on my own as DH doesn't finish until 24th, but I have abdominal cramps and can't talk, eat or drink without pain. it just hurts all the time.

I know it's not terminal and there are thousands of people worse off, but it's making me miserable and I can't enjoy the time off because I just want to go to bed and wake up in about a week when they've healed.

On the plus side, I've lost 3lbs since Friday.

If I come to Fiji, i won't contaminate anyone and I won't be a nuisance, I have very little conversation right now.

MarthaHanson · 17/12/2018 10:03

Mates. We are all going through it. No passports/money/sickness/ dependants no object to Fiji trip.
There’ll be cocktails on the beach, warm sun, soft beds, lapping waves, sileeeeeence.

EatItOrWearIt · 17/12/2018 10:08

Can I come to Fiji too please? My mum is dying and stuck in a nursing home miles from me, my dad is seriously ill, my job is a fucking nightmare at the minute, I’m a single parent (no ex and no current partner so doing everything myself with with no respite), am broke and debt is mounting. Just want to curl up in a corner somewhere and let someone else deal with my life. Feeling very woe is me this morning!

uncoolnn · 17/12/2018 10:24

Me! Been having a "period" for the last 2 months, doctors useless and I'm getting extremely fed up now Sad in the grand scheme of things I know it's minor but it's getting in the way of me doing things now. Hope everyone's weeks get better Thanks

SillyLittleBiscuit · 17/12/2018 10:27

I'm certain I failed at an interview for much wanted position last week. Just waiting to hear the news. Feel pretty bloody useless right now.

Shitty Monday.

MerryGinmas · 17/12/2018 10:30

@uncooln get back to the doctor. Have they given you anything at all to help?

I'm feeling sorry for myself as I had a hysterectomy last week and I can't drive/ do much for myself. I bled for 5 months pre op and I just want life to get back to normal now.

I'm thankful there was nothing ominous going on but it seems crazy that I've had to have my reproductive system removed because my period just wouldn't stop. Pity party for one 😂Gin. Hope everyone's week gets better Flowers

TokyoSushi · 17/12/2018 10:32

Any space on left on the plane to Fiji? I am now in week 20 of the worlds most hideous house move. I'm waiting for one final piece of paper from an extremely uncooperative third party, if we don't receive it and exchange contracts by Friday then our move will be off, and our finances will be quite frankly, fucked.
