When you started you car this morning what was it idling at?
mine sat at 1200rmp and dropped after 5 mins to 8500.
Is this normal in the cold morning?

Yes, mine always idles at about 1100-ish from all cold starts, then in roughly a few minutes it's slow down to about 900.

wicked. So mine is normal.
Wasn't too sure if my car just had flu.

Yeah just the Automatic Choke doing its job perfectly
My MG Metro was a right pain on cold mornings because it had manual choke, I used to let it idle at 2K to stop it from stalling

Mine is also the same when it is cold, soon goes back to about 800-900 when it has warmed up a bit tho
