Oh gawd, it’s awful isn’t it? I’m so sorry you have the dreaded lurgy.

I thought I was on the mend but just crawled into bed again. Apparently doing a little was too much, iykwim.

Have you got the means to get really warm? Heating, hot water bottle, that kind of thing? Have you got paracetamol and ibuprofen?

What age are the kids? Small enough to not notice if you shift Christmas by a couple of days? Old enough to help? Or in between?

Aww you poor soul,what rotten timing.Are the children old enough to understand that mummy's unwell? I do hope you feel better soon.

I have been like that since Friday night, chills with fever and nauseous. Fever resided after two days and now such a horrible cough. i'm hosting tomorrow and dreading it. i hope you feel better soon,

Children will understand it. Focus on your health and this was the worst cold/ flu i ever had.

Sympathy. I was up all night throwing up. I am gutted that I put all the hard work in to have a nice Christmas Eve and I haven’t left the bed. I feel like I’ve been switched off.

Sending hugs I've had it since last Thursday. Temp nausea awful cough and body pain. Huge hugs xxx

Are you based in a city? If so use Deliveroo to send some paracetamol and ibuprofen and make sure you're cycling them so you're taking something every 2 hours.

Poor you. You have my sympathy. You can do this x
