Sat and watched the Matt Hancock Doom hour, burst into tears because to me he looked fucking terrified. Husband came in and said look out of the window, the river has burst its banks, road flooded, locked dog in dining room away from tree presents. I forgot the box of chocolates I had on the table for a neighbour which I intended to take when the rain stopped. Came in to find chocolates now in dog. Called vets who said come NOW. Dragged husband out in our not 4x4 which only just made it through the village which is now a fast flowing river. Sat outside vets to wait for them to make doc vomit for 90 mins (injection to make them sick). £133 bill. I have -14 in my account and was hoping to string it out on Christmas food and drink. Got to village, flooding worse so had to beg a ride (with dog in arms) in an environment agency truck. Husband is watching the floodwater, I’m watching the dog.

I could weep. No. I am weeping. I had a heart attack last year, this year husband nearly lost his job, only recently found out he won’t. I don’t want to eat, drink, anything. Pity party (sosh dist, obvs) at mine. Sad

This year has been hideous and this Christmas has just crystallised it. I’m in a non flooded area with two dogs who haven’t needed to vomit at the vets and it’s still not great, so you have every reason!

I'm not surprised you've had enough.

That's one hell of a day.

Hope flooding recedes soon and you have a relaxed Christmas.

slipperywhensparticus · 23/12/2020 19:39

Have you got any food in? Local churches are usually good around Christmas? Sorry your day is so shit

PerhapsOverlyWorried · 23/12/2020 19:42

Aww god of course you’re in no way unreasonable. I really hope things are better tomorrow Flowers

Oh you poor thing, that's an English country and western song in the making.

Ylvamoon · 23/12/2020 19:46

Brew deep breath! Your dog is safe (... and I guss husband as well!) Cuddle up on the sofa and enjoy 5 minutes of peace!

Dawninglory · 23/12/2020 19:54

I hear you op, I'm so down too. Home schooling, back again, home schooling back again, tier 2 soon to be tier 4, one child can go to school one child cant. DP has been waiting 8wks for urgent scan (possible liver tumour) not at work barely coping from the pain, turned from 40 to 80yr old with fatigue. Feel so helpless, stressed, depressed, angry. 😔

WhatAreWordsWorth · 23/12/2020 19:58

Sorry to hear this OP, that does sound like a shitty day. Glad your dog is ok. I hope the flooding doesn’t get much worse.

Fingers crossed for a much brighter 2021 Flowers

partyatthepalace · 23/12/2020 20:12

I am SO sorry OP!

Please relax tomorrow, and have a peaceful Christmas Day. Good news re partner’s job. Fingers crossed better times coming. Nice to have a dog with personality!

Catmads · 23/12/2020 20:13

Sorry OP, sounds a really awful and stressful day for you. FlowersBear

AnneTwackie · 23/12/2020 20:17

That is a shit day even by 2020 standards, wine?

marthastew · 23/12/2020 20:17

Glad your dog is ok and you got a lift home. That sounds like an utterly shit day. If I were you I would make a mug of something nice, snuggle up with DDog and DH in front of some silly TV and then go to bed and hope for a better day tomorrow.

I've given up watching Matt Hancock's doom hour and instead made candied peel listening to carols from Kings. As if everything was normal. Just to give my head a break from it all.

pilates · 23/12/2020 20:18

Oh bless you op that is rubbish 😔
Hope your dog is ok

Bunnyfuller · 23/12/2020 20:19

Thanks all.

Dog is leaping around like nothing happened, husband watching the water level, just want the fucking rain to stop.

I might try to start a funny thread to give us all a giggle

Feel so bad for you, shit on shit on shit. At least your dog is ok. Tomorrow will be a better day for you, I hope Flowers

Just(((hugs))).

Scarlettpixie · 23/12/2020 20:25

What a shitty day. Glad the dog is ok.

Wine and Flowers for you.

CouldItBeCake · 23/12/2020 20:29

I’m so sorry OP, you’re 100% entitled to a pity party. Hope you can do something nice for yourself over the next couple of days Flowers

You have a good attitude OP! How about we tell you some Christmas cracker jokes to lift the mood? I’ll kick it off with a dog themed one:

What did the dog say to the Christmas tree?
Bark

You’re welcome.

Dragongirl10 · 23/12/2020 20:43

Christ, that was a bloody awful day......but Ddog is fine (most important!)
Neighbour will understand (hopefully, or kick Ddog )

Do you have wine?

That’s awful that you are having to wait for your DH’s scan. Just wanted to send sympathy for you both, no wonder you feel so down.
