Anybody else have a rubbish Christmas?

[~charlie-lou~]

So far this Christmas Day I've managed to fall out with my family (again, do practically every day), lose 2 of my presents, smash a champagne flute, get grounded for drinking lots of the Christmas Brandy, walk into a wall, get my period half way through lunch, have an argument over the phone with my best friend whose mother has just had a baby boy (so now I won't see him until we make up).... and after a somewhat spectacular rant (more like shriek) at the lunch table, I got up, slammed the door..... and shut my hair in it.

Christmas cheer? Yeah right. :mad:

sounds like something out of eastenders! :lol:

awww im sure things will get better soon!

[Kim]

Yes, I had the worst christmas I can remember, but it doesn't sound as bad as yours.

[.:SpIcYsPy:.]

Lol BB!! I guess reality is turning into a Soap..

No I had quite a good Christmas actually..

[alan45]

I dealt with six funerals over Christmas so my Christmas was not exactly a barrel of laughs - but it sure was better than it was for those six families

You are quite right Bryan. I worked most of Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and by the the looks of things today and tomorrow as well.

Poor Alan. :( I'm sure the Christmas of those families was too awful for words and I shouldn't be complaining but my Christmas was pretty rotten! :(

[feelingyellow]

Not the best Xmas I have had,My son and sister spoilt me rotten with presents (as I am sure you have seen in the thread about xmas presents) to make me feel good, and I was well pleased with all I got.I didn't won't to show my true feelings,I didn't want to spoil thing for them, but deep down I was feeling so sad,It was only a month to the date, that my hubby died and it was so strange without him,even today I would have normally cooked a roast beef dinner,but my son said he didn't fancy it, so even today was differant. I have until the 3rd of January before I go back to work in the day.The evenings are not to bad,It is the days I am finding hard to cope with.I know with time it will get better. But its now that hurts !

[feelingyellow]

aww poor you hazey - i suppose you just got to keep busy really - a tub of ice-cream always helps :) particulary ben and jerry's phish food or half-baked

[~charlie-lou~]

[Tori]

[feelingyellow]

erm... i've only ever seen 5....

there's loads more! just search on google 'ben and jerry's ice-cream' and loads of flavours will come up! and the only reason you've only ever seen 5 is cos everyone else has taken the rest!!

[Tori]

there is only room for 5... maybe its the most popular ones. i have seen a ben and jerrys ice cream shop though!

[feelingyellow]

I think I will just keep busy,I don't want to put back on the 4 stone I lost this year.

aww, yeah i suppose there is a bad thing about ice-cream and chocolate. keeping busy will work though - maybe you should do some things you've never done before - live a bit on the wild side so you can forget your sadness.

[~charlie-lou~]

I always stock up when I can at Waitrose too! :cheer:

With the cookie dough I maul it around until I've found AAALL the dough, then I take out the dough, put it all in a bowl, eat the ice cream as quick as poss then savour the dough! He he he :D

as my uncle, who is also a undetaker, says "at least ill never be out of buisness"

lol! thats quite spooky actually cos my gran says to be that i should go into that business cos ill never be out of a job!

[hazey]

aww, yeah i suppose there is a bad thing about ice-cream and chocolate. keeping busy will work though - maybe you should do some things you've never done before - live a bit on the wild side so you can forget your sadness. Got any idea's I am a very young 52 in 8 weeks so what do you think, would be wild. I am already a female night club bouncer.which is a bit off the wall for someone my age really. The only thing I don't like is heights. so any suggestions welcome.

face your worst fears hunni, you'll be so concentrated on them your sadness will go away - i'm afraid of rollercoasters see, but if i went on one i'd be terrified but all my worries would go away
heights - do it, not anything life-threatening of course but just try a little height and see what happens :)
and 52 and a nightclubber - go you! :cheer:

I know what you mean. Even though Dad never came to Bev's, it did feel a bit weird without him there. Christmas is a bit crap now anyway. Just the 3 of us. The presents were cool, surprised Bev actually got a decent camera for me. I guess it's coz I have a job and can buy what I want that makes me feel less excited over Xmas.

It's weird with him not here. Like I'll think of something and like go to myself "I'll show Dad.... oh crap, I can't". I did that when I got the new trainers. Just for a moment I forgot he was gone. I'm just trying to focus on losing weight and being the best I can be in life. That helps to ease the pain. Just knowing I'm making Dad, Sue, Nan, Granddad, etc proud of my accomplishments and who I've become.

Wow, you're a nice daughter! I'm evil, I never help round the house, I just slouch around being moody, stroppy and snide all day! :cheer:
