I'm off work unwell with either a heavy cold, flu, covid or some other mystery virus and feel sorry for myself.
I ache all over, getting to the sofa takes all the effort do I've set up camp on the sofa with iced water, a coffee and a roll of toilet paper thanks to all the nose blowing,

I'm doing an Asda delivery for tomorrow. What treats make you feel better?

Get Vic's vapour rub. Guaranteed when you need it tomorrow or the next day you won't find the one you already have. Happens to me every time

If I'm feeling really bad and taking a day to look after myself I always have a shower first thing and wash my hair. Wear clean jammys with housecoat and plonked on the couch with the tele.
Lots of chocolate and iced diluting juice close and a cuppa in a thermos
I don't usually manage more than one meal (probs all the chocolate) so would choose Heinz tomato soup and a ham sandwich to dip

Feel better soon x

One of those super moisturising face masks
Readybrek with loads of sugar on top (I don't care, I'm not well)
Ice poles
Cream of chicken soup with a splodge of mashed potatoier in it
Angel Delight in every flavour

Good recommendations, I went for
Grapes
Ice lollies
Fresh fruit juices
I have stuff to make chicken noodle soup so that's lunch tomorrow sorted.

I'm just heading off for a shower, had to psych myself up because standing up makes me woozy 🥴

Tinned fruit. I always crave grapefruit and mandarin when fluey.
Lovely fruit juices and smoothies.
