@OddsNSodsBitsNBobs

I lost my lovely mum 😔
So did I. Suddenly and unexpectedly just 3 months ago.

Sorry for your loss Flowers

*I'll preface this by saying I know I'm extremely lucky in that no one I know has had COVID, I've lost no one thankfully and both me and DH have kept our jobs (despite both being furloughed - me for 9 months and counting, DH for 3 months). I'm very aware of how lucky I am and just how horrendous this year has been for many, many people - including some of my best friends and colleagues.

So just from my own experience of 2020...

Quiet quality time with family.

(My heart goes out to anyone/everyone who has had the worst year ever)

Wanktastic.

Finished PhD in lockdown.

Garden looked gorgeous. Purse empty

WanderingMilly · 23/12/2020 21:22

Unexpected; unprecedented; total change of plans; survived; now comfortably settled...

Aprilrainbow · 23/12/2020 21:23

The worst is yet to come.

FreeFallingFree · 23/12/2020 21:26

Load of shit.
Need more words to say clearly not over yet and am bored, bored, bored of it all.

HairyFloppins · 23/12/2020 21:31

Vile, afwul, tiring, bullshit, crap

In five words - Worst year of my life

The longer version - my sister died of cancer, my family was ripped apart in the aftermath, I had a bit of a journey of self discovery as I sat in my bedroom for 8 hours a day working on a job i detested, I have been able to get a new job I love, I've been able to spend a lot more time with my kids, I've got to a Good place with money and I haven't drunk nearly as much alcohol as I kind of wish I had now.

etopp · 23/12/2020 21:38

Shit.

Bumpsadaisie · 23/12/2020 22:05

hamstersarse · 23/12/2020 22:12

Netflix. Wine. Cycling. WhatsApp. Disbelief.

Suzyeve · 23/12/2020 22:37

2020
Feeling empty.
Darkness,
And worry,
All aplenty.
Loss of our
Beloved pet,
Beginning
Of March,
No lockdown yet.
Family at least together
But kids having less fun.
No knowing what damage
This year has done.
2020 has made
Us put first,
Health and happiness,
But think of the worst.
2020, let's put to bed.
Look to end of next year
For happiness instead xxx

Suzyeve · 23/12/2020 22:39

Just realised in under 5 words, whoops 😅

Suzyeve · 23/12/2020 22:42

Scary, fuckity, anxiety enhancer x

Tenyearsgone · 23/12/2020 22:44

A bag of wank.

BrienneIsMyHero · 23/12/2020 22:44

FFS on constant repeat

RosesforMama · 23/12/2020 22:46

Less than 5 words is impossible.

To be honest it started as a relief. Getting off the treadmill and finding quiet peace and sanctuary. Now the sanctuary is becoming a prison.

Devonchills · 23/12/2020 22:47

Worse things happened than covid.

Awful year for me and my family, nothing to do with covid. Very ill child in hospital , extremely stressful teen problems, money worries, I could go on.
