Birdie - is there enough to do the job if you just put it on OH?

Not sure, we do use a decent amount though Just never seem to get the opportunity to insert it. Quite the mood killer methinks, 'Hold that thought darling, I'm just going to pop some Concieve Plus up my hoo-ha!'

fingers crossed for you maire1!

i have laryngitis so temp is up and i sound like a mouse according to DH. going seeing Blink 182 tonight as well so i won't be able to rest my voice lol i wouldn't go cos it's a last minute using someone else's ticket jobbie, but one of my friends i'm going with text me to say 'i'm really glad you're going'. so now i feel obliged lol

also don't think i'll be able to see my dad on father's day if i still have it on Sunday then i won't be able to go round in case babygirl catches it and knowing him it won't bother him to not see me that day, cos he's just a bloke really lol i'm hoping i'll be better, if not i'll just have to send hubby round with the present and make it up to him another day

Haha, thats why I popped off to the loo to do it beforehand, but actually, you never know what men like IYKWIM :rotfl:

Aw hugs Teamlowe, my dad is out of the country so wont be seeing him anyway

Remember that, if you're signed off, you're not insured. So if you do want to start work earlier, you'll need to go to the quack's and get signed back on again.

Can I just say that this is categorically, absolutely NOT TRUE!! It's like an urban myth that's doing the rounds.

A fit note is a recommendation by a doctor, to be reviewed by the employer. It is guidance only. The employee (in conjunction with the employer) makes the decision about when they feel well enough to return to work. A fit note has no implications on insurance whatsoever.

I use Concieve Plus but don't insert it, just pop it on OH First time we used it he shook the tube expecting it to be quite gloopy and it just shot out and went everywhere! :eek:

:eek:
I usually put it inside me beforehand. DH doesn't know I use that sometimes:p

How the heck are we supposed to politely deal with things like that?!

Just remember not to do the same when you are their age:cool:

Thanks for clarifying - I didn't know that. My employer refused to let me back unless I'd been signed back on by the doctor so perhaps this is where I got the idea from.

Even though it's not about insurance then, if you're not welcome at your workplace during the time you've been signed off sick then it's the same effect really...?

Cheers fluffnutter. I think some employers are confused about their obligations and tend to err on the side of caution.

If your organisation are anything like mine, the HR dept are about as much use as a condom in a convent and tend to just spout c.rap.

Obviously employers can set their own rules to some extent, but legally they can't stop an employee working just because they've been issued with a fit note. There's technically no such thing as being signed back on, and a lot of GPs won't issue anything is asked. The ones that do issue something will usually charge the employer for doing so as there's not really any need for it.

Hi all, hope your all well?
Well nothing much happening here. AF only lasted 3 days here. Normal with coil lasted 5 days and last 2 after about the same. One thing have notied is the lack of EWCM, I remember back to a few years ago had loads. Know I need to cut down coffee and a few years ago I never drank coffee at all.
On other fronts, having teething probs at work which are not my issue. Feeling distrusted by other peoples niggles, which hurts because I am still the "new girl" I guess. Am just not one of those types of people that goes around trying to be everyone's best friend. Set me back in myself, but know my gut feeling that I have no problems and people using me as a source of their issues.
Got to think passed it, plus I don't need stress like that.
That's my rant of the month
Good vibes
