Christmas Lurgi

[Kieran]

Bleh! What is it about Christmas? This has happened to me for the last two or three years - A couple of days off and I get a cold! /Fever I woke up with a sore throat yesterday, and it's getting worse! Aches, headache, throat feels like it's been rubbed with a cheese grater, etc! /Grrr /Fever I won't be too surprised if Alex comes down with it too - she's as bad as me for only getting the Lurgi when we have time off!

I wouldn't mind, but I'm back at work now - there's nothing worse than feeling crappy at work - I'd sooner be in bed!

Anybody else get sick as soon as they have time off?

[richy rich]

yes at the mo Adam is /Fever has passed it on to jessica and lilly so house full of /Fever.

[Physician]

Awww, sorry to hear you're ill guys ......... I agree with you Kieran - it's lousy being at work when you want to be resting in bed.

Hope you're on the mend by New Year.

[Funkstar]

Yep, I'm exactly the same K. It's like your body relaxes from the stress of work and you just pick up any bug going round. /Grrr

I currenty have a stinking cold too.

[colVR4]

Going on holiday on 2 Jan, so fully expecting uber-lurgi to strike around about then. I will get it much worse than the wife....obviously :P

[Nick Mann]

At the risk of boasting, I am very well thank you!

Hope all you ill people get better soon....

[BraindG]

ive got the sniffles, but i think thatsd due to going outside all the time for a smoke. Leave warm room, breeze bollox off, go back into warmth.. rinse, and repeat.

[Lillywotsername]

I am feeling alittle better than I did this morning, but having said that I have slept on and off most of this morning.
I have to work tomorrow so going to be out in the damp and cold all day/Grrr
Just hope i feel better for Saturday...... I need some/drinkswine time with my friends:happy:

Yeah here too in the house :D outside its 7C and COLD OK LOL

Not feeling great either to be honest a bit snotty

[Kieran]

Glad to see it's not just me - And yes I agree with you Funkstar - it's as though as soon as your body de-stresses and comes off 'Red Alert', your immune system switches off! /Fever

Hope all you other snotty people are feeling better soon - I'm staying in bed and not coming out again untill the Lurgi goes away! /Grrr /Fever

whats your normal cure?

thats what i do, the minute i have a snffle.. i load up on lemsip, i wake up... no sniffle.. infact,, since posting i had some... its gone!

prevention is better that cure!

[Lillywotsername]

Lemsip makes me gag...... Bah.
I am going to have to go to the chemist and get some flu tabs before I go to work, ones I got yesterday are for night time only....made me really drouzy and it says no alcahol on the pack.... Not Good!!!!!!!

Don't want to go to work this morning..... its too cold out there:bigcry: :bigcry:

[Nick VR4]

Have you tried adding some sugar with the Lemsip ? tastes a bit better or dont add loads of hot water add a little and drink in one go

[Kieran]

Well, despite a bad night (Finally dozed off on the settee at about 5am! :zzz: ) I am feeling decidedly less Lurgified! :happy: So, i'm back to bed to catch up on a few zzz's and then we'll be on our way to Chez Barry!:afro:

[Kieran]

I thought I'd escaped the dreaded Lurgi this year.... /yes

But NO, I woke up this morning with the telltale sniffle and had to reach for the dreaded evil-tasting Lemsip O'Cold-Bashing potion of vileness!/Grrr Fortunately this one seems to be reasonably light and certainly not as bad as the previous two years.

What's even more freaky..... Check the date of the original post!! :speechles

Anyway, please excuse me, I'm off to go and die in the corner. /Fever /Grrr

[peter thomson]

It hasn't effected your performance in the quiz though?

[Throbbe]

Meh, also down with the 2007 version. Would be OK, but Mrs Throbbe also as it and Pregnant with Lurgi beats straight Lurgi hands down, so I'm not getting much rest/sympathy.

Fortunately, Throbbe Jr is finding several avatars entertaining. SGHOM's in particular - "Look Daddy, teddy bear waving!". Arf.
