At the moment I could happily do as he suggests with all our problems. Tomorrow's newspaper headline would be 'Reggie' Perrin does a 'Reggie Perrin'.

Wow... this is a cheery thread! :giggle:
I thought I was the bah humbug around here! :mrgreen:
You think? How do you know that you're more bah humbug than me? Have you bought presents? Have you sent cards? Are you spending Christmas alone? Are you body swerving your Christmas party?
Do I win yet?! :giggle:

I'm spending Christmas on my own by choice this year. I think I shall enjoy it. I've bought pressies for family members and shall be sending cards but on the day itself I am going to be all anti-Christmas and deliberately shy away from festive food and drink.
Champagne and chocolates, methinks! :bounce:
So if I were to say mother-in-law what would you think of ??
Pom had major surgery at the end of September and will be off work probably until at least spring 2010 ... and gets ZERO sick pay from his company. All we have is my pathetic wage which isn't even enough to pay the bills. Christmas? Bought some stuff from a charity shop and second hand off ebay for the kids, no tree up yet - I'm just not feeling that 'Ho ho ho Christmas spirit', can't even afford to take part in the £5 secret santa at work (much to my humiliation). SO yeah - bah fucking humbug!
i am spending christmas by myself this year.
usually id have christmas dinner with my mun and family but after the last few years i havnt enjoyed it.
i dont see why i should be friendly to people for one day that just try to make life difficult the rest of the year.
i just cannot forget things people have done and i wont sell myself out just because its christmas.
i'll be happy in the gym,on the bike or reading a good book.
if your seriously thinking of doing a reggie perrin.
id get a credit card and over the next few weeks take out the max amount from cash machines daily.
then burn all your personal papers,items etc and have a rucksack which you only contain a change of clothes and some basic food.
head to the port,get on a boat and wave goodbye to it all.
fuck em all mate the way you sound people wont miss you so sod them.
and it would cost them much more to bring you back to face the courts for non payment.
you can vanish if you want to.
Frivolity aside:
Drink & Uppers are not a good combination for an approach to deal with anything at all. Particularly as you have responcibilties which you have already acknowledged.
You might like to consider seeking some professional help to deal with issues at hand.
Your GP is good place to start.

christmas time is always bad for depression and those who feel lonely.
one person i knew just walked off the end of slough platform and the train took him out.
it wasnt until the police where going through his things that it came to light why he did it.
