2 horrible year for me

EvilElsa · 30/11/2023 23:13

I'd give it a 5. Distinctly underwhelming.

FutureUncertain · 30/11/2023 23:19

So awful I give it a - 10

AHouseOnMemoryLane · 30/11/2023 23:20

8, a good year for us on the whole.

2020 was our shocker of a year. Not just covid, bereavements and a few other difficult things to deal with.

SlatternIsMyMiddleName · 30/11/2023 23:25

my Dad died.

CornTheCob · 30/11/2023 23:27

10 for me.

shellyleppard · 30/11/2023 23:29

Sorry for your loss x😥

TheDandyLion · 30/11/2023 23:30

7 Started off promising then proper shit in the middle but I still achieved and things a looking up for the last month of the year.

shellyleppard · 30/11/2023 23:30

Definitely a 3.....this year has been one of those where if it can go wrong it has!!!! My 15 year old says he can't wait for this year to be over and I will be glad when it is . Hopefully next year will be quieter 😳

8

Lunabetty · 30/11/2023 23:32

I'd give it an 8

sparepantsandtoothbrush · 30/11/2023 23:35

An 8 here

But seeing the lower ratings has made me contemplate things a bit and worry next year might be crap as I've had crap years too. I hope 2024 is better for everyone

Wibblebits · 30/11/2023 23:40

Minus a thousand it was awful

derneu · 30/11/2023 23:54

8 here. Moved house in Jan, it's been a year of discovering our new area.

BigDahliaFan · 30/11/2023 23:58

After several years of 1s and 2s this has been a 10!

DramaAlpaca · 01/12/2023 00:09

It's been OK so far. I'll give it a solid 7.

GoingOffOnATangent · 01/12/2023 00:09

6.5 some hefty stresses, some difficulties, but everyone has their head above water and their health, so could be a lot worse.
I hope next year is a good one though as I've had a long run (like, a decade) of low scores. 🤞
Wishing a good year in 2024 to all.
My condolences to all for whom 2023 brought bereavements. 💐

Charlie2121 · 01/12/2023 00:12

It’ll have to be a 10.

DS is the happiest little boy in the world and DH adores him.

Financially we have never been in a better position than this year.

Tessisme · 01/12/2023 00:19

Zero.

My mum died.
DS2 was diagnosed - finally - with Crohn's Disease after many delays and after losing so much weight and becoming so weak we thought he might die.
DS2's OCD ramped up to the point where none of us could live a normal life - this is ongoing.
DS1, the most sensible boy on earth, went off the rails and had us all worried sick for a few months.
And other stuff.

2024 couldn't be much worse, so I am looking forward to kicking 2023's arse!!!

Solidarity with others who have had a shitty year.

RainDropsStorm · 01/12/2023 00:51

I really hope 2024 is better for those who haven't had a great 2023.

Looking back with rose-tinted glasses a 10.

In reality probably a 8
