I need a themometer. Im at my witts end. Have searched in store and online and cant find any other than whats on ebay for triple their price £100+
I want a digital one for the ear. Does anyone know where they are in stock? This is crazy. My health anxiety is through the roof with a broken thermometer, 3 young kids and an elderly father

If someone has a temperature, you will know. Just feel their forehead. Will be raging. Isolate them. Lots of water and paracetamol. Chicken soup is ace for invalids. If you’re lucky enough to find a chicken. Saw someone sticking 10:whole birds into his boot other day.

I’ve had several different thermometers, tbf, I thin the forehead ones are rubbish! Never tried the war ones...for me the only ones worse getting are for under the tongue....every single time without a doubt!

Other than that...the best way to test temperature? Kiss them on the forehead. Yes it sounds odd, but the skin on your lips is extremely sensitive, and I can tell instantly if they have a temperature or feel too warm.

Good luck in your hunt X
