So sorry it sounds like you aren't going to get a relaxing Christmas.Good luck with the left socks. I need left socks too as my toes always seems to go through the left one.

Merry Christmas and I'll keep my fingers crossed that you do get some time to yourself.

I've no idea where all those left socks have gone. The same thing happens with my ergonomic ear plugs I use in the pool. Always the same ear goes missing, I have a collection of spare right ears πŸ‘‚ πŸ˜‚Sorry about work, doesn't sound too good, hopefully Covid keeps away for you and you manage to relax a bit at some point over the festive period

My socks swam off with your ear buds, at the moment it's not looking great for work

I think all socks, rubber gloves and Wellington boots should be sold as single items!

Oh no. Just as we thought things were normal again! I hope it doesn’t spread in your care home. We got pinged last week which was worrying but thankfully all clear.

If those socks come swimming by here, I’ll try and rescue them.

I'm afraid they have already been turned into Tupperware lids πŸ˜‰

It’s always the left ones that go missing for me too. How strange. And suspicious 🀨🀣

Hope your staff feel better soon and you’re able to get a Christmas break. And hope you stay Covid-free too

Oh I never manage to keep a pair of socks. I don't know where they hide! We have an odd sock drawer which is always full!Sorry to hear about work- you deserve a rest!

Whatever happens, enjoy the festive period, I'm sure you'll manage to get some time off somehow!

Thank you Lottie, I'll now be off for New Year πŸ˜ƒ, I'd rather work early Christmas, when I've worked late I've felt it's all over once I get to work, I can enjoy everyone's Christmas, help them open presents and make sure they have a good time, then come home and celebrate with Willow, and hey, I found a left sock this morning so have a complete pair on Have a wonderful Christmas xx

a left over from when my family were small…up early, Santa’s been, Xmas lunch around midday, then off for a hospital late shift! Perfect!

When it became just OH and myself, and I was a community midwife, I always offered to work on the patch Xmas Day, often I would do the Xmas Eve on call, so those with young children could be off.

Yay! A pair of socks! πŸ™ŒπŸΌπŸ§¦πŸ§¦Result! πŸ‘πŸΌ

Enjoy your Xmas πŸ’•
