Anyone else have Xmas steam to let off?? What's making you rage?

[Thisnamechanger]

I cannot find my SIL present anywhere.
I'm very late leaving for DFs.
I'm cooking tonight.
My pets are furious with me.
No one else seems to want to help.

Anyone else need to let of some steam about anything?

I've eaten too much rubbish and it's made my IBS flair up. My own fault really.

I am so ill.

Yes mother I am aware it’s a cold and if I had kids I’d have to get on with it. Except I haven’t kept anything down for 2 days. I bring up water and I don’t think I’ll be able to look at toast again. I have a fever so awful I’m genuinely missing hours where my husband assured me I was awake. I’ve slept 6 hours in three days and I just can’t cope anymore.

So no I won’t be at Christmas dinner and no I won’t manage a bit of turkey. I feel like I swallowed razor blades.

In agony
Woke up at 3am yesterday with a pain so severe it made me vomit, hot pain spread from my right side. It's my PCOS/Endo kicking off, was meant to be last week as I was meant to be ovulating and that's when I get crippling pains but nope, it's kicked off now instead.
I'm lying in bed with my tens machine on hoping it will subside but my stomach is swollen so wont be eating or wearing the nice outfit I bought (when it's bad like this I go from a 14 to an 18).
Still managed to do all the prep. DH was sodding useless and if he says "It's Christmas" to excuse himself or the DC again I'm going to twat him with the turkey.

I am trying to feel Christmassy but won’t feel like it until my son gets dropped off at midday. Feel a bit shit about being awake so early and wish I could have stayed asleep until 11.

I'm so enjoying this thread.

My ex-husband is in the hospital with heart failure caused by too much drinking (hence ex) I've been visiting every day. He had plans to rent a holiday house this week with a group of old friends and they've all buggered off without him. I judge.

Flaky boyfriend has been making a big deal for months about how he wants to treat me to a lovely birthday surprise (Christmas day is my birthday). I told him I just wanted to spend time with him and I pre-prepped a salmon en croute for us to have at my place today.

I thought I would visit ex in hospital for Christmas morning, then come back to mine and have a cosy meal with boyfriend.

Then flaky boyfriend told me yesterday that some friends have come in from out of town so 'maybe' he will see me 'tonight' 'for two or three or four hours'. It depends how long his friends stay, you see. He will let me know. I'm not angry, am I? Why do I always give him a hard time, don't I realise how much he loves me? Fine, he will blow off his friends. It's just that they've come all the way from London. I've stopped responding to his texts.

I was feeling pretty sorry for myself yesterday but I prayed in the hospital Chapel and then for no particular reason felt a lot better. Ex is recovering, local friends have invited me for Christmas drinks, I got some lovely thoughtful cards from friends all over the world.

@Waytooearl6 Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday!

We had to rush to ILs (4 hr drive) yesterday so we could 'all nip out for a quiet beer with the fam in the afternoon' When I queried that ('quiet' beer never happens) I was given the full on pissed off, you don't trust me spiel and made to feel like the Grinch.

At 7pm when I was finally hacked off just enough I said it was time to go home with DD (who was an absolute star but completely bored) and DNeice (also bored) I got 'you go home, We'll have one more beer and join you'. I reminded him to get milk on the way back and got another 'God, stop going on'

Got home, made food for everyone and ate with DD and DNeice. When the rest of them finally rolled in at 11pm they trashed the kitchen, ate the food, moaned that there wasn't any cheese, and talked all over the ending of the film we were watching.

Sleep was almost impossible with DH belching, snoring and rolling around. DNephew woke up the dogs rolling in at 3am and turning on the microwave.

I've been up since 6am, cleaned the kitchen, failed to work out how to turn the heating on and discovered that they didn't get the milk.

At least my fury is keeping me warm

Ex husband hasn't had the kids so nothing got wrapped he hadn't paid child support this year either so we have tightened our belts this year flaky partner is broke again don't know why I bother with him really I love him but FFS get a job and stick to it stop bouncing around!

ExH is being a self-centred twat as usual. He left his 2nd wife fairly recently and moved straight in with OW and her young child. (He left me for a previous OW as our DC are painfully aware. And then left OW for OW. Both had small children.)

ExH seriously expects our two broke student DC to shower new OW and child with presents and that I should fund it.

Fuck.Off.

Christmas eve with in laws spent just over 250. over 6 kids 3 households. We don't have kids so nothing bought for us. would have though a candle or a small token, didn't even get a Card... miserable feckers

Dh bought Ds1 blue headphones 🎧 because they were £20 cheaper. I'm cross at his penny pinching. Ds1 asked for these and a pair of trainers.

@Waytooearly happy birthday. I’d send Flaky boyfriend packing personally and have a fresh start in 2019.

My fury has gone. DH discovered that DNephew pinched his Rizla's last night - there are no more in the house and no shops open.

Ha! I can drink black coffee but the 3 smokers are now in tatters (DD and I quietly sniggering).

Eve Dallas, whay jerks. That is grim.

PIL spent over £1000 on DH and got me a £30 Next voucher. I don’t shop in Next, and we’ve been together for 11 years so PIL know that. It’s not even the value, just the thoughtlessness of a voucher purchased from the nearest shop 4 days before Xmas.

Well dh announced at about 10:30 he was going out for a run. Left me cooking xmas dinner on my own. I told him that dinner would be served at 13:00. He's not back.

Aw, that was a mean trick! Hope you ate without him.

I just got back from hospital visiting ex. I brought him all the cards and presents that had been posted to his house, and opening them cheered him up. Someone bought a book of unforgivably corny jokes.

Is it just me or is it really crap that his group of local friends, with whom he'd reserved a holiday cottage a few hours away from Christmas to New Year's, just buggered off without him? I mean, one or two could have stayed behind on Christmas day to sit in ward with him,and gone up later.

Most of these people kind of stayed 'his' friends after we split, and I haven't really spoken to them in a year. Which is fine, it happens. But now they're texting me for updates on his condition. From the holiday cottage.

If I'm honest waytooearly I think it's a lot to ask for friends to give up their own Christmas Day away and planned holiday time over that period to sit all day in a hospital ward. I do think that if he's expected to be released on, say, the 27th, then it would be reasonable for one of them to come back and fetch him to join them for the rest of the break. Less so to miss the whole early part themselves.

Generally having a lovely time but a few things.

Mum is carried away with the hosting and will have worked herself in to a tizz by the time lunch is ready. We’ve been here two days already and she’s cooked really lovely elaborate meals, but we’d have been happy to just go to the pub. She’s working far too hard and it’ll end in tears.

DSis and BIL are letting their toddlers run rampage and not tidying up after them. My mum had to tidy all their presents away this morning and we’ve been left to watch nephew while we try to cook. DSis is napping and BIL has gone to pub. I can’t carry baby DD around without tripping over some crap left around.

Everyone opened their presents while I put DD down to sleep so I didn’t see my gifts received.

Ugh.

WTFIsAGleepglorp -don't you think shop workers might like to get home a bit early?

I understand that shop workers would need to get home early.

However, to keep the smaller shop open longer than the 'big' supermarket seems economically silly.

On the first bus out of town going home

It fucking reeks of skunk.

Had a great day, only marred when I missed the first 3 mins of eastenders as I miss judged the time it took to wrap the cheese up and put back in the fridge.

Interesting day yesterday as I had a bad cold and pregnant, so all around me were getting hammered and there I was sober and ill.

FIL was so drunk he was swaying, 4 of DHs family didn't bother getting presents for my family... bit awkward. My mum was upset.

My coping lasted until 10.30, so I kicked them all out and went to bed.

Merry Christmas lol
