    Coughs, colds, sore throats all doing the rounds with kids in the last few weeks. Both of ours struggling at the moment too and both stayed home from school today with nasty barks (trying to nip in the bud so doesn't get any worse). Have seen a good few of the lads miss training with similar symptoms and loads from the kids class have been out recently too. For most of these things suspect hot drinks & over the counter remedies will do the job, last thing anyone needs is a chest infection & antibiotics.

    Hope they are back on the feet soon DvB! Our little guy is asthmatic so I'm always on cough watch trying to determine if it's just a cough or if he needs more intervention. Given it's the long weekend, I'm going to err on the side of caution and head to the GP. I cannot face another weekend trip to NEDOC.

    Absolutely.

    My son is prone to croop so we have to watch any coughs he gets too, nowhere near as serious as asthma though so I can understand you being cautious, I would be too.

    Fingers crossed all is good and he bounces back soon!

    My niece was out of school last 3 days with similar coughing dose. Thankfully none here, especially with one doing the JC mocks.

    I got notification of my NCT expiring at the end of the month so went to book it. Gave me next available date at the end of September😱😱 Then I realised that I had missed an email about my car tax which had expired at the end of Dec 😳. So had to pay that (plus arrears) aswell as the insurance that expires this week. The car will stay in the drive until I get the tax cert, not taking any chances. So tomorrow I have to take OH's car to see a panto with my cubs group. OH said he's "gutted" that he'll be stuck at home with no choice but to watch the rugby for the afternoon🤣🤣

    Really? My app is showing lows of zero but 12 degrees during the day. That’s not too bad.

    Lovely out this morning, definitely feel a bit more warmth in the air. Not sure I’ll be putting the woolly hat away quite yet though.

    Child #2 turned 8 yesterday and we're having a family party in the house tomorrow. Sure what better to feed to about 15 or 16 people than salads and some turkey and ham.

    3kg stuffed turkey breast and a 2.5kg ham currently being cooked and the whole house smells of Christmas again 🤩🤗


    Oh and the rugby was feckin' magic too

    Got my 2nd Covid booster today. Brother got his as well, as we both got the text on Thursday.

    Am in the over 40’s category & he’s in the over 30’s category, so was getting a little concerned as to when even my age group would be getting called up. Anyways at least that’s sorted for the next while!

    If I get up early enough I'll get my 2nd booster in the morning. Got a text during the week too and walk on clinic nearby. Elf3 has a swimming lesson at 11 so hopefully will get it done before that.

    Then SIL coming over for dinner - turkey, ham and all the trimmings 😁

    I got the text during the week, but I don't think I can get it yet because I had Covid in early December. 🤔

    I have the same mentality. Not too rushed to go get this one. Having covid in January I don’t think I can get it for a few months anyway.

    I got my booster the very first day I was eligible, 9am. I had Covid last March so was good to go. I've two immunocompromised family members so I got it for them, as well as for me being able to make plans.
