I'm living a god damn Eastenders storyline.

In the last 18 days my wife has been urgently hospitalised resulting in a 2 night stay, my dad died, I got made redundant, my wife's mother had a heart attack and an assortment of other smaller issues too.

I'm literally at the point of nervous laughter each time something new goes wrong.

Whatever doesn't kill us makes us colder.
Sorry to hear that mate. I thought I was having a rollercoaster week with the boiler breaking down and injuring my hands repeatedly but that's a hell of a month.
 
My mum has rung me three times in 5 minutes, while I am in a videoconferencing. So annoying.

I swear she doesn't think I actually have a job.

She has bought me a "lovely leg of lamb" which I don't really want and now I have to drive to Cardiff to pick it up as it "won't fit in the fridge and the freezer is full".

I despair, I really do.
 
After the saga of the septic tank tank access issue with the last failed house purchase, we now have an issue buying this house to do with a borehole..... And the oil tank .. DOH.

Septic tank is fine lol. Why is this not simple!?

Wales... You're great but you don't make it easy... Lol

Sounds like my mum
 
Sounds like my mum
My mum when I visited home:
Her, Have a sandwich.
Me, I'm not hungry.
Her, have a biscuit.
Me, No thanks. I'm fine.
Her, Have some toast then.
Me, No. Really I'm not hungry.
Her, Theres' some soup here you could have.
Me. No. Honestly. I don't want anything to eat.
At this point I could see she was looking around for some sort of restraining device so she could force feed me ;).
I was 44 years old ffs :)

I think a lot of mums are like that with their sons :p
I always joke my brother is the favourite child (actual fact) but I think I'm the favourite daughter :D

I don't wanna jinx it but....I think at work we are *whispers* almost up straight :eek:
And now I await my pizza to finish cooking and catch up on strictly. Spent the weekend with my niece checking out a few areas to consider moving to so we managed to catch up on about 3 weeks of strictly in the evenings :D

As a recent Dad I do kinda get it. You are basically do EVERYTHING you can to make sure your kid sleeps the night. Food, water, wee, poo, bath, darkness, moodlight, white noise etc. Must be hard to shake off :cry: :cry:
 
At the hospital yesterday - being asked to get changed back to my going home clothes and opening the curtains to alert the nurses that I was ready, my cannula popped out and blood everywhere. Normally I freak out with the sight of blood like that - think the GA was preventing that plus had numbing cream applied 45-60 minutes onto back of hands before I was sent down.

Is it just me that I cannot relax by reading books, doing puzzles etc in the theatre admissions area?
 
I think I have another abscess, right hand side of my face is now three times the size of the left, and the pain is fun. Dentist in the morning.
My dentist back tracked after my abscess,she said root canal would be too tricky under NHS ,I was told to improve my teeth cleaning (after she have me an intense clean) was already brushing twice a day.but using the water flosser more now and corsodil mouth wash (not immediately after a brush)
My grinding is the main issue though,use the mouth guard but wake up chomping like a horse still

Yeah I need a load of work doing on mine unfortunately, two root canals and a bunch yanking, never had much luck with teeth in my family, my father lost all of his in his 20s, and us kids have all had issues. Problem I have is I am immune to the sedation, was supposed to go under via midazolam but my medical history wasn't good enough for that - so going to discuss with them today options for going private for a GA if they can assist
 
I’m so violently ill. Throwing up and diarrhoea all afternoon, stomach cramps to the extreme and my body is just shaking like crazy.

I have never had what I assume is D+V this badly, the retching is horrific I just wanted to curl up and cry….im late 30s

Norovirus? Where were you yesterday? I had it once, the smallest sip of water would set it all off again.
