Ffs school lergi

[sunhasgotthis]

Not even a week into school year and just been up with poor DS who is vomiting.

Oh dear. My 10 month old isn't even at nursery yet but he seems to have picked up a cold from his older brother. Really snotty nose and coughing / choking on all the plegmn. Praying for a bit more sleep!!!

Hope they feel better soon.
Little one starting reception tomorrow.

What is lergi?

I love the term Lergi
My dad used to say this all the time about colds / flus or anything you pick up easily.
Not sure if it's origins , but he was born in 1922 so it's an old saying

I always spelt it as lurgy but its one of those colloquialisms that probably doesn't have a real spelling. Just another word for illness.

Get well soon everyone!

Is it lurgy ? I've never seen it written down before so assumed lurgi was correct ( although it doesn't look like it now )

I think OP means lurgy.

Although I've never seen it written without being described as "the dreaded...."

Oh yes, .. the dreaded '
Forgotten this
So many old sayings that seem to be airbrushed away over time then suddenly make a comeback

I did mean 'lurgy' - thanks. I just use it as a generic term to mean illness, likely contagious.
