Anyone else fucked up today?

I’ve fucked up big time. I ate chocolates, butter, and a big wedge of chocolate fudge cake with cream and another slice of baked Alaska. I kept thinking fuck it, it’s christmas. And that’s true, it is Christmas, but unfortunately I am appparenly as unable to digest lactose on Christmas as I am any other day. Who would have thought?! 😂

any thoughts and prayers would be greatly received for what is going to be a long, uncomfortable and unpleasant night.

anyone else fucked up today?! 😂

My 10yo DD has just vommed everywhere and it's full of nuts and pretzels 😭 she overindulged, and will prob now be up half the night.
Ah the joys of Christmas, hope you feel ok OP

I bought Bananagrams, unopened from a charity shop. Dutifully gave it to my DS (who is 13 so luckily over believing stage), turns out the letters/game is in Hebrew.

Yup. Was frazzled by exH calling during lunch to talk to children and apparently referred to lovely DP by ex's name. He gently told me later and was obviously a little hurt whilst understanding. I am mortified, still flushing hot and uncomfortable when I think about it and hate that I upset him.
Lying awake stewing on it.

@ABrotherWhoLooksLikeHellMugYou

dont dwell on it. If your new partner does then tell him to get a life. you’re only human

@ABrotherWhoLooksLikeHellMugYou unless you were in the throes of passion…..then I’d be booking a one way ticket to the other side of the world

My Xmas dinner was crap. The family touiched it out politely, but all that time and money wasted on something that was almost inedible.

ForeverWeBlend · 25/12/2022 23:41

Toughed it out

Theunamedcat · 25/12/2022 23:44

The turkey was tough it was a freebie admittedly but still flavourless and tough! It was supposed to take two and a half hours after that time I checked and it was running pink left it in and it was rubber boots time I rested it and everything!

I offended DBIL by asking him if he wanted to take his one poxy sausage roll home.

who brings one sausage roll to Christmas dinner? For context there was no buffet/sausage roll type meal on offer or even a contribution requested. Very weird.

My usually very sweet natured youngest kept asking if there were more presents. I was a bit cross and upset at what I perceived as him being ungrateful, after his maybe fifth time of asking I snapped at him that he was being rude and the presents were all finished.

He then tearfully asked if maybe Grandma was giving him the Ocarina he had asked us for (and then accidentally seen the box of) tomorrow.

I’d left it unwrapped in my wardrobe. Amazon had delivered it in its original packaging and I’d rushed in after work weeks ago and hid it; clearly too well as then I completely forgot about it.

It took a bit of finding and panicking and apologising to him but I found it and gave it to him, and not gonna lie I blamed it on Father Christmas being disorganised.

He's not dwelling and no, it happened at lunch in front of all my family. Nobody mentioned it. He's cry understanding but he's had to put up with so much shit indirectly because of ex, o just hate that this has happened and I hate hate hate fucking up like that.

He's now asleep and I'm sitting with DD7 who keeps whimpering and crying, says she doesn't know what the matter is and I have my hand on her chest and am panicking myself that her heart is beating erratically. Its probably fine but I am very tired and stressed.

I had a massive portion of my favourite cheesy potatoes that my mum cooks with full cream..... and yup.... I'm lactose intolerant and not at home! Broken out the immodium.... now where's my second helping?!!

BigcatLittlecat · 25/12/2022 23:52

I forgot to cook the vegan alternative! So they just had all the sides and vegetables!!

OnTheRunWithMannyMontana · 25/12/2022 23:54

I'm T2 diabetic and usually very strict with diet. Today I had honey on my parsnips and an actual dessert cos, ya know, fuck it it's Christmas!

Taken my meds but now have a banging headache from high bloody sugar and will need to drink water all night to bring them down.

Never again.

I've had a lovely day but overindulged in milk products. I think milk is responsible for a rash that keeps coming and going on my face. Stuck to a dairy free dinner but then ate chocolates 🤦🏻‍♀️. Face looks and feels horrendous now.

I had to make an important speech and got the jitters and messed it up spectacularly. Professional reputation ruined forever. People were laughing at me. Afterwards, at home, I had too many martinis and played awful Christmas music too loudly.

MrsToothyBitch · 26/12/2022 00:38

Had a couple of my mums sausage rolls. Oh my god the acid. Hours of it even whilst crunching Gaviscon tabs. No booze for me and late meal so I could at least try to enjoy it.

My Sky TV has decided to 'disappear' - v tense as in laws are visiting and MiL is a big Eastenders fan
They watched it on my laptop in the end

Idtotallybangdreamoftheendlessnotgonnalie · 26/12/2022 00:53

Knocked an unsecured shelf off the wall in my folks kitchen.

Caught the flowerpot and phone on the shelf, didn't catch the half full gin balloon glass.

Balloon glasses don't so much smash as they do explode. Dramatically. Cue kids and dogs coming to see what the bang was. Hilarity ensued.

£5 says it's still unsecured and just balancing on the brackets next Xmas too.

WeAreAllLionesses · 26/12/2022 02:39

Not me but DH served Christmas dinner two hours later than planned. Apparently the massive turkey took longer to cook than the 4 hours it said on the packaging!

Great day otherwise 😊

Oh no. Its Great game. You could buy little stickers and edit them I'm sure.

jayhoo · 26/12/2022 04:24

NONE of my children's presents arrived, including stocking fillers.

18yo fairly phlegmatic, 14yo in tears and trying to hide them from me.

ExH bizarrely saved the day. 18yo went to spend Christmas pm with him, 14yo v low contact and stayed here. But ExH dropped presents for him which were everything he'd asked for.

He was so pleased bless him. Had a lovely Christmas dinner and then snuggle on the sofa to watch films.

So thank you ExH not grudging or through gritted teeth.

My son has just vomited up the entire contents of his stomach. The volume of food yesterday was ridiculous.

@strawberrybarn

Living in a foreign country I have found it is possible to find the instructions for any game and any version somewhere on the internet, the manufactures have their own sites or game players collect them all together
