Anyone else wishing they weren't doing this alone

[nutcracker]

I hate it, I never will grow to like it.

crap isnt it? tho better than being with someone you dont want to be with

Yeah that is true enough, but I just cannot help hating doing it all alone, it makes me feel so miserable.

I have earache too, which is not helping.

i've been sick this week, the kids were sick last week, i'm losing my voice today adn still seemingly a never ending body of snot

lol

earache is crap

You have my sympathy Lou, I was ill this week too, with the cold/flu from hell. All I wanted to do was go to bed and I couldn't so I cried instead.

I have AB's here but the doc said that I was only to take them if I needed to. Not sure how I am meant to know if I need to or not.

Oh the snot ! Where the hell does that come from LOL, I must have blown my nose 1000 times yesterday.

Me!
I can actually cope with all the prep on my own. But would really love to have someone here to share it with.

My sympathy goes to you poorly ones. Luckily i have been well and kids have only had coughs/colds.

Yep I don't even really need anyone here to do anything, just be here, quite sad really, but it would be so nice to put the kids to bed and sit and watch tv with someone or something.

LOL, I do yes

Lol at having ABs there!

call me a bad mum but nine are all still up lol

its holiday time, i'm too stressed to cope with the overwroughtness getting them into bed ealrier would incur, right now

yep, but as lou says better than being in a place you don't want to be.

(thanks for that site lou btw from ages ago )

{weak teary smile emoticon}

I am glad I am not with xp, just overwhelmingly sad that I am on my ow.

So daft

this was the first year i have really looked forward to xmas since me and ex split...
but was at a+e last night and now i have fractured bone below my shoulder and it has ruined everything...i can no longer be excited with pain like this....

Ouch Chocspiders. That must be very painful. I am always worrying i will hurt myself and ruin Christmas. So sorry you have hurt yourself. Try an enjoy it still.

I have finally finished the last of the wrapping and put it all back into the loft. Would of been much quicker with 2!

a bit

somehow have to work tomorrow, pick up presents I paid for and forgot to collect weeks ago, collect christmas food order from waitrose, wait for hospital to call and confirm that middle daughter is allowed home and squeeze in the 80 mile round trip to collect her, clean my squalid little house - at least superficially, wrap presents, collect the prescription I ordered last week

parents are coming tomorrow though, so won't be completely on my own - first time they have ever done anything like this, I'm pleased but also really anxious about the whole thing. we're not exactly close.

god i could sleep through xmas and new year and my birthday right now

the uniform one he he deffo the better one from POF!

nutty - it's not daft - i'm only having H to stay tonight/tomorrow night cos I don't want to be in the house on my own - now that's sad! if it was any other time he could get lost.

dcam - exactly couldn't agree more - I keep thinking 2 days of hopefully being civilized then I can go back to normal for me - me on my own with a glass of wine and DS in bed. much prefered to sitting indoors with H not talking to each other and snapping when we do.

ouch choc - hope it feels better soon.

lol oh yes!

never been on it myself, and am not on pof right now

maybe i should take a peek!

Someone said to me yesterday that this time of year magnifies whatever is going on in your life. If things are good, you feel especially grateful/blessed/lucky, etc. If things are difficult, you can spend an awful lot of time/energy thinking about what you wish was different/why you feel sad/etc.

Hope you feel better Nutty. And Happy Christmas.

Thanks guys, am feeling a bit better today. My mum has took 2 of the 3 dc to hers until later so ds is happily watching tv whilst I flit about the house.

Better get back to it.

Merry Xmas to you all xxx

def lou it's worth a look! lol.

It sounds a bit shallow, but we have chased around getting all stuff for kids/family etc and it brings it home that there is not a special gift just for us.
