i'm dyyyyying.

I went to bed at 10pm last night and woke up at 12.30am, only to toss and turn until 3am, then up at 6.30.

aches and pains all over.
bad head
bad stomach
bad throat
loads of gunk 'burning' behind my nose.

anyone got any tips for me? :(
only plan at the minute is to take a couple of syndol before bed. (cheap migrane tablets)

i milked an ankle injury last week to be off work all week. Now i feel like shit, i better not :(

Boy who cried wolf.

I would take some beechams flu tablets. I find they really work.

we never have anything like that in the house. no idea where i could get them at this time.

wonder if there's any old wives tails on how to get rid of it :(

4 hourly meds and plenty of fluids Stu

Hope you are feeling better soon.

Poor stu.

1) Slice a large lemon slice, microwave for a few secs to soften, squeeze all the juice into mug, add hot water with severl spoons of honey. Drink up!

2)Paracetomol

3) As much water as you can manage

4) sleep

Done. Nothing else you can do stu! If nose is bunged up, i boil some water, put in large bowl, and sit over it with towel to trap the steam and inhale it. It helps!

Take a hot toddy then....

Ingredients

1 1/2 fluid oz gin, rum or whisky
1 sugar lump
juice of half a lemon
2 cloves
small stick of cinnamon


Method

- Put all the ingredients into a heatproof mug and fill with boiling water.
- If preferred, serve in a strong tumbler when the drink has cooled a little (so as not to break the glass).

And will Stu have the cloves and cinnamon stick to hand?
