  2. Balsam tissues are the only way. Loo roll is like sandpaper after a bit.

  10. Well I was doing fine yesterday. Then as you say a night from hell and today just coughed and coughed and... you get the idea.
    So stayed home AGAIN! Can't see tomorrow being any better. So f***. It, it's the GP for me tomorrow. Last time I flaked off work for this long was for childbirth!
    Respec' to you two for making it in to work and managing some exercise.
    Now, another night looms. Groan.

    Hope you all recover soon my ailing comrades :)
    By spooky coincidence my cough, that I had for weeks before Xmas, seems to have been slowly inveigling it's way back into my life this very evening :mad:

    Sarah is still coughy and said her throat was sore again tonight. We have been quarantined in separate bedrooms for a few nights now in order to try and break the tag team cold passing on!

    I fear it's all for nought :(. On a plus note, maybe we are being tested and will come out of this time of ailments stronger and more invincible :)
     
  13. I remember your cough. Nooo!
    Sympathy to both of ye but yes, that which doesn't kill you etc etc.
    I'd love a dose of sun right now. Soak up some health giving rays. I shall try and get to sleep sleep thinking about just that.
     
  14. Can I just point out that Coop Funeral Services have a special on this month? 10% discount on all interments. Quote LATEBAYPLAGUE when ordering.
     
  15. After your recent court appearance, it's probably for the best...

  17. Problem: getting colds at winter time due to pussy immune system
    Solution : drive bay all winter to toughen up immune system.

  18. I may be a bit premature..:oops:

    but I started drinking hot soups ..
    cup a soups every other hour
    and it does seem clear the cold effects

    along with a bit of exertion ..
    things seem to be easing..:hattip:

  19. Smug git.
     
  20. Still feeling like warmed up poo. I have the pleasure of my sinuses maintaining 65psi today. A good blow of the hooter yields no reward and my head could explode at any given moment. I did half a shift today and ,yet again, regretting now. If you sat on the board at a big pharmaceutical company you'd be laughing all the way to the bank right now.
