I thought I'd escaped the virus

So I feel like I'm finally getting one of the many viruses doing the rounds after thinking I'd escaped them all. My cheeks are warm, I'm exhausted and I just haven't felt right all night. Numerous viruses and colds are doing the rounds at work, and one of our DDs has a mild cold.

This is exactly what I want right when I have a full weekend planned!

Anyone else want to join my pity party? It's BYOB(of cough syrup!)

My DDs have both had a horrible virus, and now DH has it and sounds awful (congested, cough etc). I'm hoping I've dodged it as I have an exam next week! Must remember not to book winter exams when I have pre school children!

Dropping like flies at work and Sunday/ Monday I had all the signs and felt terrible. Lemsipping like crazy. By Tuesday felt ok and now I'm perfectly well.

Fingers crossed yours is a come and go virus too.

Sorry girl, we've just recovered from covid (my first time having it, can't believe it)

It's so horrible - get the vicks out and defo indulge in some self pity and a tv binge x

You did well escaping it for so long! Pleased you're out the other side now.

That sounds like an excellent plan - never have my cheeks flushed before the onset of a cold, so bizarre x
