As requested, a place for us to ask for help and advice from other stitchers and to show the things we make.
Over to you.:-D

Not had mine yet. I was busy when they had the big session so I will have to go & see the nurse.

Supposed to have mine at work as I'm 'front line' staff. The office is so busy that I haven't had time to go to occupational health yet & thier office is above mine

I had my Flu Jab last week,( I get it every year as I work for the NHS ), and I had no reaction either.

You can get a local reaction at the injection site, but you will not get a "slight" dose of the flu as it is not 

a live vaccine and as such cannot cause the disease. What it does is cause your body to make antibodies

so you will have protection if you are exposed to the flu virus.

My injection sight hurts quite a bit today actually.  I've never felt a thing before when I've had them at Tescos.  It's just red and hurts if I touch it, nothing serious and will probably be gone tomorrow.

In less than 24 hours I went for an INR blood test at my GP's.  They sent it away to the hospital ati-coagulation clinic who tested it and wrote the results and the dose of warfarin on a letter and posted it to me and it ended up in my post box. I don't think anybody could complain at that for service.

Afternoon all.  We had our flu jabs at the beginning of last week.  My arm hurt by my mum's didn't.  We didn't have any side effects either.  A lady who lives across the road from me can't have them because she allergic to them.

[chickengrandma-2008]

Reading my post back, what, two hours later?  I wish I'd put injection site instead of injection sight!!

We've just had the mother and father of a thunderstorm and my internet went down for a spell.  I've never heard thunder like it as it seemed to be one continuous rumble of thunder that went on for about 2 or 3 minutes.  It was weird.

[ilove2patch]

It's been lovely here, not that I have seen much of it. We had a great workshop making lunchbags. A good time was had by all.

[bitsnknots]

Love the bags Maggie.  They look great.  

We've been threatened with more thunder for tomorrow.  Hope that my internet connection stays on this time.

[petitecalicocat]

[merc1_clocks]

[merc1_clocks]

I'm hanging in there towery - thanks for asking x

Kate isn't so great, & is in hospital for a while...but she knows that you all ask after her.

Carol has been posting recently.

[**towery**]

couldn't remember if carol was in isolation  or still had that to come

so Kates  still in  😞

[bitsnknots]

Kate's started a thread saying that she's out of hospital.

Good see you back Merc. Sending you some much needed hugs and hugs to anyone else that needs them.

[merc1_clocks]

Thanks for the hugs Chris...you're always so generous x

So glad to see Kate is home again

[ginap.123]

I'm convinced that the boat bag is Maggies as well.

[twishy123]

Which ever one that you can squeeze a bottle of wine into is Maggies......

Yep also in agreement.

I have such a numb arris today, well did ya see me CB .....................I waved as I went over the Orme !!!

[ilove2patch]

You are all wrong. Mine is the yellowy one behind it. It has pretty flowery teacups on it. Sadly not big enough for a bottle of wine but I will be able to get my smoked salmon sandwiches in it! They are quite roomy actually. Perhaps a half bottle would fit! lol
