To expect a little sympathy or care.

[BustyStClaire]

I have sick, I have a chest infection, with a very rattly crackly chest, I have pain in my back/lungs & front, I am diabetic, so have been given antibiotics, which I have a 10% chance of being allergic to as I am to penicillin. It is a snow day, school is closed. Husband is working from home & is sat on the bed on his laptop. I just want to sit here weeping softly, in an armchair, with a cup of tea. Not sure there is anypoint to this message but I WANT SOME SYMPATHY!!! And a chocolate biscuit.

I'm sorry.

Have this one ... in a nice way.

Hope you feel better soon.

Oh Busty that sounds miserable. I have Tunnocks teacakes.

Buckets of sympathy from me.

And a

Oh I like a Tunnocks, thank you!! Biscuits make everything better.

Tunnocks Appreciation Thread if you want to join Busty.

Lots of sympathy, chocolate biscuits and tea from me too.

My daughter is off school with a sore throat, feeling sick etc. She has just asked for a biscuit and when I pointed out that a biscuit might not be great for a sore throat (scratchy) she argued that it would help because her throat is itchy and the biscuit would scratch the itch. So with that logic, have another biscuit.

Actually Knid, there is truth in that! Something about scratching promoting the healing process, or something. I always crave crisps and crackers when I have a sore throat. :)

That said, I also have hot squash or apple juice with honey!

Luckily she's not on Mumsnet and will never read this heresy about biscuits being good for sore throats.

The Marshmallow in a Tunnocks Teacake would be very soothing.

When I had my tonsils out aged 21 they told me to eat scratchy things, cornflakes, crisps etc to prevent scabbing and promote healing. Ds when he had hand/foot/mouth only wanted ready salted crisps. Took him all day to get through a packet but he ate them! Get well soon OP, DH should tuck you up and take screen/keyboard breaks to minister to you.

Don't you lot know that I'm always right!

Ohhh wow, I am really craving a Tunnocks teacake or eight now. Mmmmm.

Get well soon, OP!

I just told husband that doc has signed me off work for a week, his reply "do you still get paid" FUCK OFF I AM COUGHING UP BLOOD" Do I still get paid, stupid arse. (I do, of course). I am so sending him out for Tunnocks & eating all of them!!!

Yes do Busty and don't share them.

I, Jessie, fully support your right to a chocolate biscuit.

and best of all these are calorie free!!

Get well Soon
