Is There Anyone out There That Has Enjoyed 2020?
Ask a Question
At the weekend I was moaned at by my father in law that talking about Christmas when its only September and my response was after the year the whole country and world has had I need something to look forward to and for me it is Christmas as the whole year has been rubbish . I have had to cancel my holiday to Orlando , we lost our sister in law in January , haven't had our merlin days and believe me I can go on and on .So I would love to know has 2020 been good for you and will be sad for it to end ?
It's been a year to definitely forget I set up my own business in feb then closed it down in march !! But now back and doing well so cant complain
Hope it goes well for you . If you dont mind me asking what is your business?
No can't think of much good lost 3 family member and my eldest was due to do GCSES she did well but we think if she sat exams could have done better
2020 has so far gone by in a blur. Shock, disbelief, frustration, disappointment, worry, intolerance, anger, resentment and every other emotion. I will definitely embrace Christmas earlier this year. A recent article encouraged the public to put the decs up earlier because it gave most people a mental 'lift'. It's what we need.
Like most people, this year has just sucked, but I keep reminding myself that everyone I know is still healthy and I haven't lost anyone to Covid, thank God.
i started the year but finding out I was pregnant after quite a long time trying , plus I got to spend 3 months with both me and my husband off work but on full pay.. really can’t complain!
I haven't minded 2020. It didn't bother me having to be in lockdown, did it in 2018 and 2019 due to my sons heart condition, so it was normal to me. I've gotten to spend more time with my husband, been able to finally sort out the house and whilst we did have to cancel our sons christening, we can easily have it at a later date and we have been lucky not to lose anyone. I honestly haven't found it that bad. I will not be getting ready for Christmas any earlier than normal. Christmas does not give me a mental lift and I never decorate for it anyway.
I know that there aren't many of them but I feel people should be looking at the good things that happened to them.
Mine was walking into a bank wearing a mask without being wrestled and pinned to the floor by security guards,
you made me laugh out loud davidstockport. Funny how that thought has never crossed my mind
I wouldn't say enjoyed but have seen far more of my family as I was home alone once work finished. We did garden visits, they brought me shopping, did outside jobs etc.
Re your Merlin card, they should extend it. I had an Odeon limitless card for last Xmas and they have extended to end of June 21.
2020 has had its ups & downs. Losing loved ones during lockdown being the most difficult. I cannot say it's been the worst time of my life, certainly not note worthy either tho.
I feel guilty saying it, as I am aware that many people have had a terrible year so far for many reason, but it has been a good year for us. My daughter and her partner came to live with us for three months from April and it was a special time. They got engaged while they were here too!
My husband has been working from home for the last six months and that has been brilliant. I feel that we have been given a gift as a family and I am grateful.
gerrykelly25 Don't feel guilty - your response made me really pleased for you. I completely understand the pleasure in having your family close.
Oh, I have. The lockdowns and treating me like a prisoner does kinds p!as me off.
Spent most of the year in a sort of unconscious daze not believing what was going on or not wanting to believe
This has been the worst year of my life. If someone told me last year everything that would happen to me this year then I wouldn't have believed it
I've enjoyed spending more quality time with my OH. But I've not enjoyed not seeing friends and family for 6 months.
It’s been so so. We have had some good opportunities this year, but lost out on others. We have learnt things also. 2020 has been a year not quite like any other
As horrible as this year has been I've seen some good come out of it much more of a sense of community and a friend who had a gambling addiction finally seems to have got to grips with it because bookmakers being closed.
A complete nightmare for me and screwed from all angles.
Firstly, the government did not help Ltd directors
Secondly, I shut my business
Thirdly, the job market is topsy-turvey
Fourthly, I am apparently too solvent to claim any help from the government
Apart from that, I have had a great time. Smashing it on the personal fitness levels with walking, yoga, and physical therapy. Done quite a lot around the house and in the garden. Established regular meet-ups with our immediate neighbours, which has been fun and supportive during Lockdown. (I have shared a lot of cake!).
I have a roof over my head and food on the table so I am thankful for small things.

Its been a horrible year, lost my job due to cuts (hospitality) my mental health went down hill and i ended up in hospital and now on UC but signed off sick with anxiety and depression. The father of my kids lost his job too, so money has been tight, home schooling was stressful with a 12 and a 9 year old, We both had our holidays cancelled. My son is miserable and hating school at the moment. Can't even bare to think about the next few months, just want this year done with ha
apart from lockdown setbacks 2020 has been smazing for me as I metbpartner and got engaged it’s been very great time and chapter in my life plus I’ve found a level happiness iv not been happier
