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?

Flowers for all!

I have to go to work as we are extremely busy the last week before Christmas. For some reason people think it's the absolute end of the world if they don't get things through before we leave as if we aren't coming back a week later (law firm) and are utterly horrified at the thought of us closing for a week.

uncoolnn just wanted to say I had this problem! A few years ago my periods went absolutely crazy and I would be on for months at a time. They found a cyst on my ovary in the end which they believed to be the cause. It did go on its own eventually though I had to take the pill to regulate them for a while. Hope you get it sorted.

Still feel shit and definitely up for going to fiji. Though I'd be happy with just my bed right now.

@MerryGinmas hope you are on the mend soon ThanksCake I'm off back to the doctors tonight so fingers crossed!

AnyFucker · 17/12/2018 10:35

Yes, having the period from hell only 3 weeks since the last one. I am working this week and Xmas week then the weekend between xmas and NY. My son"s latest health anxiety meltdown is in full flow and it is fucking exhausting.

Where is my passport ?

BuffysFavouriteStake · 17/12/2018 10:37

Another one for Fiji here please.

House is a tip, haven't done a single thing for Christmas yet, and also just woken up with a stinking cold. Feel terrible, and have to go into work as I'm the only one who does the ordering.

hopefully I can share the cold with my boss for making me go in

sherrysfortea · 17/12/2018 10:40

The person who we employed to re fit our kitchen has come down with flu. It's half done, no sideboard, no hob. House in disarray and nothing I can bloody do until he comes back and finishes. Unlikely to be before Christmas now.

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 17/12/2018 10:45

FED UP HERE....
baby with a cold who i've left with her dad to come to work...so I'm obviously a hideous mother
Work colleague not speaking to me as I didn't pick up an email in time yesterday whilst at a family party so she had to action something for me....obviously I'm a hideous employee

LadyBathory · 17/12/2018 10:45

I left the father of my child last night I’m stuck in the house with him as neither of us have anywhere to go, I’m hung over as hell and not at all sure what to do. I’ve been crying since 8 am, we are both broke and I dont even have my passport to go on this Fiji trip as my passport is in Dublin as I’m trying to have the name changed but I can’t get the evidence I need together to do it.

kittypop · 17/12/2018 10:45

Lets book a Mumsnet flight to Figi. I actually have nothing to complain about today - I'm off work on a day's annual leave and still in bed with a cup of tea reading Mumsnet but don't fancy going to work tomorrow so Figi sounds like a plan!

MarthaHanson · 17/12/2018 10:46

Merry Ginmas The Fucked Off Fiji Special is run on a particular plane that means you can fly after your op.

Storminateacup1 · 17/12/2018 10:49

DS puked all over me, and my bed, last night. Then he did the same with his at 2am. We’re both feeling a bit crappy today and I have work later.
I’m counting down the hours until Friday at 5pm.

AnonymousIndividual · 17/12/2018 10:51

FlowersCakeBrewWine and Gin for all!

I have a cold and it's making me a bit crotchety. I know if I could just have 24 hours sleep I would be fine Grin.

But it's a busy week. I might take to my bed the day after Boxing Day, when it's all over!

PurpleChai · 17/12/2018 10:53

It’s my birthday today (a milestone one too) but I’ve had a completely horrific year. My DH gave me a present a few weeks ago as I’ve put a blanket ban on anything birthday related for today as I don’t want the fuss. NC with my entire family for various reasons I won’t go into, no friends at all, just a bit shit. Treating it like any other day but it’s quite difficult and feel a bit lonely tbh. Flowers for everyone having a shitty day too.

Rhynswynd · 17/12/2018 10:54

Here is a photo of where I think you all deserve to be right now.
I hope things look up for you all. My own moan is about having to move to Adelaide in 17 days and not having the motivation to sort my shit out.

To feel fucking sorry for myself. Anyone else?
strawberrisc · 17/12/2018 10:55

Me. Should be happy as day off work but HAVE to go to local shopping centre. A few things I couldn’t get online and I have to pick up DD’s present. My anxiety is through the roof at the moment. I hate crowds and I haven’t even bothered with decorations this year. I’ve always loved Christmas but I’m not feeling it this year after a really shit year and I just want it to be over.

vampirethriller · 17/12/2018 10:56

Can I come to Fiji? 16 day old baby, her dad has vanished off the face of the earth, my dog tried to eat a duck in the park this morning and I forgot to wash any leggings.
Christmas tree broke so this year the decorations are fairy lights on a potted palm. And the bastard freezer has frozen itself shut and I can't get a minute to defrost it.

@MarthaHanson Yay! A beach sounds a much better place to sit around doing nothing 😂😂.

I'm sorry everyone is having such a hard time 😔Flowers for everyone. Here's to a better 2019 XXX

purplelass · 17/12/2018 11:00

Feeling your pain - I woke up with a cold on Saturday morning and it's got me down way more than it should, I'm just not used to being ill!

A good night's sleep would have helped but my stressed head is refusing to let me sleep at the moment Sad

I would love to take a duvet day but WAY too much to get done at work this week. I'm just looking forward to turning my computer off on Friday afternoon and not turning it back on til 2019!

Hope everyone feels better and brighter soon! Xmas Smile

strawberrisc · 17/12/2018 11:02

I’d love to come to Fiji with you all but anxiety won’t allow it. Will you send me a postcard? x

RangeRider · 17/12/2018 11:04

Stinky cold here too. Feeling sorry for myself while doing pathetic cough.

Heartofglass21 · 17/12/2018 11:12

I've got a feverish cold and the headache from hell but DH has flu and is so much sicker than me. So save me a seat on the plane, I'm coming to Fiji before I kill him

mumsastudent · 17/12/2018 11:13

redannie ask/email tutor & explain situation & ask for extra time/extension

Bobaboutwhat · 17/12/2018 11:20

“Let’s All Fuck Off To Fiji” - I might nab this for the book I am (never) going to write....also yes please, if there’s room for another x

Pinkkittens292 · 17/12/2018 11:21

yes. Trying to make my severely disabled 19 year old son's social worker realise he is in the wrong "Home" and needs a higher level of care to keep him safe after his 4th trip to A& E since being there in September!!
