Title: Life has a funny way of fcuking you up
Post by: JC on 25 May 2012, 19:34
after a few weeks of hell, father in law diagnosed with cancer,  struggled to find somewhere to move, car been playing up  but after all that

today was a Top day,

 sorted out somewhere to live yesterday albeit not where I wanted.  but its a place to live

Wife retracted her resignation and today got told she will be full time from september,

car isnt as fcuked as I thought, and doubtful its going to cost me. 

had the eldest kids round to tell them we wont be moving after all ,

nice meal, a few drinks

and the mobile goes,

 my brother ( not had contact in 12 years - long story ) has just had a heart attack

Boom, totally head fcuked. High to low in the space of 30 seconds

Really need to get smashed but gotta be fit to drive.

Life really has a way of fcuking you up

Rant to a complete load of strangers instead .

The ultimate end to your crap day...

Sorry Chuff. Hope your brother is on the milder end of the scale and at some point tonight you can pour a glass or 2 of what does you good.

mate... as already said here if you need owt.. just text me.

one positive out of this is that he lived to fight another day.

a good friends of ours brother, who we knew, died this week... he was 45. Felt unwell during the week, went into hospital and 5am Friday morning MASSIVE heart attack and boom, gone... post mortem monday and leaves a wife and 13 year old daughter in bits.

BUT... that said... he was built like Andy Fordham (in his bigger days) but without the terrible haircut, and drank like Fordham did too... we always said he was a heart attack waiting to happen.

His sister is built like Andy Fordham too so we are hoping that she takes the hint and eats healthier and loses about 10 stone.

A warning to us all.

Awww hunni

Life can be a total load of bollocks at times and if ranting to a load of us strangers makes you feel better then rant away.

I seem to have it every Monday, without fail.  To the point I now refuse to get out bed, look at my emails or answer my phone on a Monday!

Hope things look up soon

Thinking of you Big Guy. And enjoy your *free* curry  :cool:

My friend is 34. He had a massive heart attack and was brought back from the dead 3 times earlier this year. He now seems to be doing fine - the Health Service for all its faults has some incredible and selfless people working for them and without them Andy would have been a gonner.

Horrible news and sounds like a bit of stressful time in your life.

To try and make you feel better Im going ask that you recall in your head that moment you dropped me off at the train station after Volksfest a few years ago :)

I read this as, bought a take away curry but they delivered the wrong stuff so I shouted at them and they gave me a £75 refund. :shocked: Then at this point I thought, how much curry did you order to get a £75 refund ? :laugh:

Hope it all works out for you kidder. :afro:

Jeez mate that's not good. Hope he's ok

Missus has just had a rough few weeks, her auntie died aged 42 due to a long running battle with alcoholism, then a girl she used to work with died from bowel cancer aged 28, left a 7 and 4 year old along with a month old baby  :sad:

Then her cousin's sister in law died aged 42 as well after a long battle with cancer. Three people in the space of a few week. Life does suck a big fat one sometimes  :sad:
