I thought that would make you chuckle Nic!
Kanga I do get sick pay, and fortunately was signed off for another week today by my doc (already had one week off). I only spoke to the receptionist on the phone, then I called back when she told me to and apparently the doc remembered how bad it was and has given me another docs cert with no question! I will def go back next week though, as will only have 6 weeks left until mat leave then, and lots to do before I go!
Grr...I hate seeing pregnant women smoke too. I understand it's hard for some women, I saw my friend go through it all when pregnant with her first. And she would still have 1 or 2 per day, but not in public -she said herself she knew how awful it was, but just couldn't stop altogether. Personally I could never smoke whilst pregnant, same as when I see women pushing prams with a cig in their hand - yuk. But to each their own I guess :-/
