I have a cold and I'm grumpy about it 🤣

[QuestionableMouse]

Lighthearted thread!

I have a proper snotty cold and I'm very grumpy about it. (Not Covid - I've been tested)

Sore throat, bunged up, shattered. My voice sounds like hell and I'm on a long shift tomorrow. My littlest nephew has a cold and he's passed it on to the entire family.

It's the first one I've had for ages too so I think that makes it feel worse 🤣

Anyone else need a moan? 🤣🤣

I am the grumpiest grump when I'm even slightly ill and almost feel too negative to moan about it (in case anyone dare tell me to pull myself together 😂) so I hide under the duvet with various cups of hot substances, Sudafed, and You Tube. Happy to listen to a good ole moan Op, and next time I'm ill I will pay it forward!

Me too! I got it after my daughter coughed and sneezed into my open mouth, so I kind of saw it coming

after my daughter coughed and sneezed into my open mouth,

Ewwwwwwwww!

If that doesn't cheer you up, op, I don't know what will! 🤣🤣

I hope you're both feeling much better v soon!

Same as what my nephew did. He's only three so I can't be too cross but man I didn't need a cold this weekend 🤣

Yep she's three too!

I feel exactly the same @QuestionableMouse The only thing worse than feeling this shit is the fact my 8 yo also has it and the second I leave his side to do something thrilling like wash up he follows me sobbing and telling me how awful he feels. I love him dearly but bedtime was a blessing!

I woke up this morning feeling even more grotty. Really don't want to go to work but they're already short staffed so don't have a choice. I'd really like to go back to bed!

Oh bless him!

Apart from a snotty nose my nephew doesn't seem bothered. It's the adults that are suffering with it! 🙈🤷🏻‍♀️

Ah rubbish that you’re working. Hope it’s soon over and you can wallow again.

DS & I have it. I'm hot as hell and my throat feels like it's been sandblasted. Been tested so not covid. I'm sure immunity has dropped for 'lesser' illnesses because of shielding & lockdown so that's why I feel much worse than usual.

Hot toddies all round.

Me too. Seeing granddaughter for the first time in months and she says proudly "Nanna I've got a sore throat 😁" followed by the full-in-the-face cough. So I've had one too, and the mega-snots, for the last week.

I have the wet, snotty cold too. But I live alone, have no children to sneeze in my mouth, have all my food delivered, and basically haven't seen anyone since my bubble partner was staying here in March. So HOW????

Can I moan please?! I have been recovering from gallbladder surgery and the sinus infection AND ear infection I have now just feels like adding insult to injury! It’s affecting my balance too so I really can’t do much of anything and dh is super grumpy because he is in week five of doing absolutely everything.

OP, you must done the dressing gown of doom.

Sympathies. I'm an infant school teacher and get about 2 colds a month. Yes 24 a year! I'm ill more often than not. Rest up

Oh that sounds even more grim than my grotty cold. Hope you're feeling better soon!

I just finished work and I'm absolutely knackered. Time for a hot choc and bed.
