New year went on till at least 12th night in my teenage years, we lived 30 steps from the village pub so every fucker came round for at least a week to first foot, some nefarious characters at least 3/4 times 🤪 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 7179 Posted Monday at 19:11 Share Posted Monday at 19:11 Been a funny run up to Christmas this year. I had flu last week so was wiped out for 5 days and still not back to baseline. My dad had to start his CLL chemo last week so he's wiped out atm, and my mother has developed a chest infection because god forbid someone in the house is more ill than her. We are spending Christmas lunch at my folks house and I feel like the Christmas spirit may be in short supply! 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 46064 Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago Doesn't sound like the best one, KD. Hope it goes OK and your dad responds well to the chemo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chemo will hopefully make him feel better indefinitely and we can get a bit of normality back. The main bit I'm struggling with is the pair of them feel like they've aged 20 years on the last 12 months. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10972 Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago I've got no leave left so I'm in every day. On the bright side there's fuck all work on so I'm chilling out 9-5, and when there were two extra mums, and four extra kids tearing around the house I was safely hiding down in the office.

On the positive side at least hopefully you yourself are over the worst of the flu, which is really important just for coping with family, young and old. I'm in the Fish boat today. Done literally fuck all. Just monitor e-mails, nudge the mouse occasionally so the green status light comes on, and get paid, all the while having the excuse not to do the family Xmas things. Finally getting in the Xmas mood, 8 days off after today. 🥳 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
