Christmas disasters!
Discussion
MiL is 69 years old and still grafting away in the local primary school for her 40th year. She’s been putting off seeing the doctor for the last few weeks cos of a cough because ‘I need to go to work’
Today she pulled out of coming for dinner because ‘she wasn’t able’. Wife’s been back and forth 4 times today because she can barely breathe but is refusing to call an ambulance or come here to be looked after.

For seven years I anonymously used to text my eldest’s best friend random coconut facts signing off Mama Macaron. I was eventually revealed a few years ago.
For Christmas I bought them a packet of Coconut Macaroon HobNobs from the late Mama Macaron. They’ve bought me a tin of Mushy Peas… some fancy Liberty stuff and a £200 Byredo perfume. I feel a failure as a Mother figure.

I consulted google maps about 7am this morning before my Bristol to Herts journey only for it to show the M4 shut for the two nearest junctions.
I sat swearing for a while planning an alternative route then zoomed the map out. It was showing major lengths of motorway closed on M5, M50, M6, M1, A1M and others - presumably something had been hacked.
I was very relieved to find the M4 was both open and had hardly any traffic.

Ended up in A&E yesterday as I had a sudden onset of vertigo and couldn’t even stand up! Vomited several times and sat in the hospital for 24hrs waiting to be seen!
Finally seen at 11am today to be given some tablets and sent home. I was supposed to be doing Xmas dinner which obviously hasn’t happened, so gave the turkey etc to my guests to cook. As if that isn’t enough, I walked into find the vertical radiator had broken free of its fixings and landed on my newly fitted (last wed) quartz island chipping it. As I’ve got Vertigo all I could do was look at it , gutted, and head to bed - just woke, and yep. Still spinning like im severely drunk.
Joy!

In the 80s when I was a kid, my uncle and family came to ours for Christmas
He was a dog handler in the police, in those days they took the muts home
As they were here all day they dog came but was only allowed in the garden and kitchen
As expected it just did what it was told, keeping its self to its self
My mum went out after dinner to get the puddings, everything had been eaten
Not really a disaster but memorable

I got vertigo a couple of years ago and that was on Christmas Day too, it took me two weeks to shake it off and was the worst thing ever, only time I felt normal was when laying down.Finally seen at 11am today to be given some tablets and sent home.

Best of luck with it. I never really found a cause.

I had it a few years back and from memory it was something like an inner-ear infection. From what I remember there was medication they can give you, if you can see a doctor of course. Best of luck with it. I never really found a cause.
