Who else has a cold from hell?!

[Nervousb2b]

Typical! As soon as our week of summer arrives, the whole family come down with a bug from nursery.

One minute I'm freezing cold, the next boiling (no wonder!). I just want to enjoy the sunshine but can hardly open my eyes and no doubt will irritate the neighbours with the amount of noise I make with my coughing. Thankfully, the children seem to be over the worst of it but that's almost worse - running on fumes all day trying to give them some sort of sunshine filled experience (I feel we've succeeded but I'm officially flawed now).

Anybody else in the same boat?

I had this last week OP! Not pleasant. Lots of people in my area have also had the same. Really hope you get over it soon 💐

I’m into week three with the cough. Had it on holiday too :(

Omg I could’ve cried when I read this! Me, DH and 10 month old all wiped off our feet for the last week. GP said to ride it out. Rang 111 this morning who told us to go to boots pharmacy for antibiotics at this stage. Pharmacist said ride it out and it’ll pass without treatment.

and there are no sick days in motherhood 😭

It's hands down the worst part of day to day parenting in my opinion! Anyone without children will never fully appreciate how exhausting parenting is when you feel like total poop.

I actually compared it to running a marathon - it really does require a lot of mental grit! Sending you big hugs, I hope you get well soon. X

Couldn’t agree more! Hope you all feel better soon and get to enjoy some sunshine! X

Me too. Horrible having a cold in hot weather isn't it? I'm so tired, just want to sleep all day.
