Had a weird, everything gone wrong kind of day.
Off work due to recent bereavement. First I ran in to the back of a head case, no damage but they completely over reacted. Then I went to a national trust type event, massive queues to the toilets, flush not working, rude woman next in the queue very loudly exclaimed how disgusting it was that I hadn’t flushed, she must have heard me keep pressing it, I quickly ran away.
Then my lunch came and everyone else’s was lovely and mine was under cooked, I ate round the under cooked bit and mentioned it at the end, only to be met by a disgruntled chef telling me it wasn’t undercooked despite the pool of blood.
Then I rushed round at home throwing food down the kids only to get to next activity to find out it had been cancelled and i’d forgot!

Tell me your shitty day so I feel better Grin

thigh Happy birthday! Reschedule it and have another day sometime soon as your replacement birthday. 🎂

I've had only a moderately shit day with too much work, emotional manipulation and a guilt McDonalds. Onwards and upwards everyone. Flowers

I had to take my baby to the toilet and breastfeed while having a poo.

pineapplebryanbrown · 19/03/2019 00:14

Thanks for the birthday wishes, i think i will have a do-over. And i want those 2 pieces of cake that i was forced to share.

VentingDaughter I'm sorry but i snorted with laughter/recognition at the vision you painted of brandy/death/Africa. On a loud and continuous loop i bet.

lilabet2 · 19/03/2019 00:15

That sounds crap Atsea1979 and worse still because people were actively being unkind to you so it wasn't just one of those 'shitty things happening' type of days.

Indeed, VentingDaughter has had the best of shittiest days.
She wins. Hurrah! And cheery up and all that.

Mine was also quite shit. Pipe burst in our new house, husband in Germany, boiling water pouring everywhere, broke stop clock trying to turn water off, called emergency plumber who cost nearly £800 for 1 hour and 20 minutes and bits of our ceiling are falling down and the plumber things it might fall down more. Spent an hour waiting for emergency plumber whilst lying under sink and now have cricked back and burnt hand. Also feeling very poor now but hoping insurance will cover it. Plus after school nannny who is amazing told me she is pregnant (lovely news really) but it means she won’t be able to pick up after September. And I’ve just got into bed and haven’t eaten since a salad at lunch. Fucking pipes!!!

PhilomenaButterfly · 19/03/2019 02:50

I've got headlice which have caused compulsive scratching of my scaly scalp. I was doing so well last night, then woke up at 1, lasted an hour until I'm now lying here with blood all over my head and neck. I've also got a cold which means that I have to breathe through my mouth and wake up every morning with a dry tongue.

Monty27 · 19/03/2019 03:20

I have a gum infection. It hurts and I have a temperature.
I don't know what else I can say Sad

My DS has some sort of gastro bug - he's not quite 2 so where he is, is where he vomits. I had to get my DD ready for school while cleaning up the continuos spew after spew and changing one set of his clothes after another.

Luckily one of the poles of the school fence has been broken out by some hooligan and as we live right behind the school I helped her cross the road and then she entered via the broken fence so I didn't have to take Master spewy on the usual walk to school (never felt glad about vandalism in my life before today lol).

So I guess mine was a shittty day with a silver lining Wink

ohtheholidays · 19/03/2019 04:10

My day started off really well,I got to see the scan of(not my baby) a new addition to our family,got home and was able to show 3 of our DC.

Our youngest DD is so excited and can't wait to meet the baby bless her.

But after that it's all gone to pot,I'm in agony and despite taking painkillers,sticking voltarol all over my leg and a heat pack I'm still in agony(it's seriously 8 out of 10 and I have a stupidly high pain threshold usually) and I know that I'm really ill(not to do with my leg) and I have a fear that it's really bad but I'm putting off telling my DH(I'm ill anyways and disabled)because I think even the thought of what it could be will break his heart.

My DS22 has been bloody horrid to me lately and his 2 younger brothers 20 and 17 have joined in with him and made me seriouslly consider running away from home and I've now realised that I need to step away from my oldest DS because I can't keep enabling him treating me in the way he does,it's like being in another abusive relationship.

Fingers crossed my leg will stop being an arse tomorrow or I'm seriously considering letting our jackhuahua have a go at gnawing it of for me.

I hope that everyone else's week gets alot better from here on in Flowers

PyongyangKipperbang · 19/03/2019 04:24

I am not an "oh I wish thats all I had to worry about" asshole.

But I really wish that Sunday had been that good! Cant post about it on here as way too outing, but trust me, it was bad and its getting worse.

I find that gin takes the edge off, or The Grand Tour at 4am. Fuck you any Clarkson, Hammond and May haters. Makes me laugh.

Daisychainsandglitter · 19/03/2019 07:36

My DD has high functioning autism and is not coping at mainstream school. I feel so helpless seeing her so distressed about going to school. We are going through the process of applying to move her to a special school. I feel lost and out of my depth and worried about her future. She is only 4. I am scared that she will be kicked out of her current school while we wait for a place at special school.
I feel desperately low about it and don't know who to talk to.
My company is being taken over and there's a chance that I will be made redundant.
One of my clients is currently making my life hell and is rude and obnoxious towards me and copies in half the world in her e mails to show me up.
Thanks to all of you who are also having a lousy time.

SouthwarkSkaters · 19/03/2019 08:13

After managing to dodge the fuckers for 9 3/4 years, I found out on Sunday evening that DD had head lice - cue a very sleepless night and mid night visit to 24 hour Tesco to buy hedrin to treat it before school yesterday. DH and I got the nitty gritty treatment and then I spent the day washing towels and bedding. A fun day to spend one’s day off.

(Though I admit it was not as bad as everyone else’s. Flowers Cake )

ToffeePennie · 19/03/2019 08:55

I fell down the stairs on Sunday - damaged my knee that I had X-rays on a few months ago. Only managed to get an appointment today. The baby spent that last two days finding projectiles to lob at my poorly knee, alternating screeching at me and pinching me.
He’s managed to turn all the coffee tables (glass) over and is currently trying to drive the Hoover end through them.
My 4 year old has turned into a whingebag and only wants to go swimming and no more school!
It was the anniversary of my grandads death yesterday so I feel utterly rubbish anyway and I can’t eat properly because of the pain in my knees.
Oh and they think it might be arthritis. I’m not even 30.
Fucks sake!

Chocadactyl · 19/03/2019 09:33

Dealing with a 6 and 3 year old with norovirus. Don't think I need to say anymore.

Ferrovairio · 19/03/2019 10:50

High Over The Fence.
Thanks. I guess no news is not necessarily the worst news, as there is no communication at all from anyone except the Red Cross 🙁

Tunnocks34 · 19/03/2019 11:08

18 weeks pregnant.

Woke up heavily bleeding and cramping. Currently sat in the EPU waiting to be seen - can feel baby kicking which is reassuring but still anxious.

Also forgot to bring any change so I’m now starving, staring at a vending machine full of chocolate and crisps I am unable to touch.

Also feel incredibly guilty I am not in work today, and that I am not there to teach my year 11s who really shouldn’t have a supply teacher so close to their GCSEs.

PhilomenaButterfly · 19/03/2019 11:20

Oh, and my aunt's trying to pressurise me into being "that parent", which I'd be mortified to be. Either DD misses her SAT booster on Friday, or she won't take her to hers for the weekend. 😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠

HighOverTheFenceLeapsSunnyJim · 19/03/2019 11:21

Ferrovairio my mum always says no news is good news. We were in Mozambique in January, such a beautiful country & so sad to see the devastation, but can imagine communications could be down for a while. Hope you hear good news soon.

HeyNannyNanny · 19/03/2019 11:47

I threw up on my gym instructor.

NCKitten · 19/03/2019 14:53

@Teanocoffee True. I think I was feeling fragile because I lived in Utrecht for years and have family and friends still there. Also heard a relative of a close friend is being prosecuted for a crime in which he was a victimSad

NCKitten · 19/03/2019 14:59

@MNHQ Care to explain why you deleted my earlier post?

purplereindeer · 19/03/2019 15:05

I can't compete really, but I did have my coil fitted earlier, which sucked and as I have an 11 week old I cannot lie in bed feeling sorry for myself and instead have had to breastfeed (which made the cramps worse) and have to do the school run and then the after school activities run in a few minutes.
