I froze on the way to work but will boil on the way home.

Good luck for scan frazzles :)

I think 20 degrees when you've had to wear your coat in the morning is a bit silly. 15-18 would be more appropriate autumnal weather strikes gavel Grin

Here would be Calpol and school as well, Wreck. I'd pre-warn the teachers to keep an eye, but if they're feeling fine in themselves then off they go. Probably a throwback to my own childhood where we had to go to school as my parents couldn't afford the day off to look after us unless it was serious...

FireflyGirl · 18/09/2019 08:05

Oh, and good luck frazzles

WreckTangled · 18/09/2019 08:11

Same here. Except she's not getting calpol as no temp and I won't see the teachers as they get a bus to school. My parents were the same and I'm now the same with my approach to work I haven't had a single sick day in my current job (also part of that is because I'm luckily never ill! Could very easily milk the diabetes and take time off for having a high or low but I just get on with it).

Think I'll need a coat for the walk to the bus stop

Ah 12 week scan! I used to love having scans Smile

myloveforfrazzles · 18/09/2019 08:15

Wreck I’m glad to hear your DD is feeling better this morning. It’s the season for colds and bugs, I’m not excited for it. And I had an early scan at 6 weeks so I’m so excited to see the change!.

Fluffy thank you!. I’ve got my big hoodie on for work today, everyone will take the mick but I don’t care!

Emrys thank you, it’s awful the weather now isn’t it. You leave in the morning froze and by lunchtime it’s shorts and T-shirt weather. I wish it’d just make up it’s mind.

Thank you Firefly

NoWordForFluffy · 18/09/2019 08:40

I'd still give Calpol as it's for pain and general symptom relief, not just temperatures.

I don't have much time off sick, but I've rarely worked anywhere that pays sick! I only stayed in my last job to get the 4 weeks' pay for my shoulder op. 😀

Mrsmadevans · 18/09/2019 08:43

I am guffawing like Mutley
🤭🤣🤣🤣

myloveforfrazzles · 18/09/2019 08:46

Mrs god you’ve been busy! How is your leg doing today?

NoWordForFluffy · 18/09/2019 08:49

Well done, Mrs! I hope you went through the cash back sites too. You'd have made a fortune in one day!

I think Acey must have name-changed as I've not seen her and she was very prolific at the time!

We're all commenting on how cold it is this morning at work. It's a shock to the system!

Strictly proper starts on Sat, so that's DEFINITELY autumn!

NerosFiddle · 18/09/2019 09:28

Morning all.

Another crisp morning.

I did a quick search there for Acey but nothing since last year. 🤷‍♀️

If anyone wants I have Matalan vouchers, but they have to be used today.

WreckTangled · 18/09/2019 10:16

She wasn't in pain Grin she was singing and being a bit annoying 😅

NerosFiddle · 18/09/2019 12:10

Ooohh I think I'll get the gin and the Brie.

EmrysAtticus · 18/09/2019 12:51

DH will insist on the banoffee trifle

Mrsmadevans · 18/09/2019 12:57

Wreck that is amazing you not having any sick time well done m'dear they must love you 🤗 💐🥂🍾 glad she is not too bad 🤗
Food from M&S ?? You don't have to ask me twice 😋😋😋

NoWordForFluffy · 18/09/2019 13:59

We're getting our stuff from Booths this year. For cheese etc they're loads better than M&S. And as my in-laws are collecting for us, they can't be asked to go to 2 places!

myloveforfrazzles · 18/09/2019 14:33

Ooh I love the look of the Vegan Christmas dinner!.

I’ve never heard of booths Fluffy, there must not be one by us.

NoWordForFluffy · 18/09/2019 14:45

They're northern, frazzles. Where are you?

Are you vegan?

OP posts:
myloveforfrazzles · 18/09/2019 14:46

I’m from near Birmingham Fluffy, and I’m vegetarian, but I don’t have much dairy, so almost vegan. Though I must say, since being pregnant all I want is a maccies cheeseburger😂

WreckTangled · 18/09/2019 15:46

We don't have booths here either but I'm quite far south

FireflyGirl · 18/09/2019 16:16

I'm northern, but wrong side of the country. Shame, as it looks lovely. I'll have to stick to salivating over the M&S and Aldi ones.

I'll probably be buying from Aldi, though. The M&S in our city centre closed Hmm. There's one near DMIL, but I like to go and browse!

NoWordForFluffy · 18/09/2019 16:27

I think Cheshire is the furthest south they have branches. We have two branches near to us. Not in our town, sadly, but close enough.

They do deliver at Christmas though. Just sayin'!

My mum's town lost their M&S too, Firefly. She's bereft!

myloveforfrazzles · 18/09/2019 16:30

Here’s our scan!! Everyone thinks it looks like a boy

ChristmasInJuly · 18/09/2019 17:00

Lovely pic, Frazzles! Glad the scan went well. I’m no good at guessing the sex from scan pictures, will you be finding out at the 20 week scan or waiting til the birth?

Every morning starts out like Autumn here, and every afternoon it’s Summer again!
