To ask what you like to watch/eat when you're not feeling well

[MrsClayneCrawford]

Me & DH are currently hauled up on the sofa with a cold binge watching Friends & eating toast & boiled eggs. Although I'm craving sticky toffee pudding & custard. What's your go to thing to watch/eat when you're not feeling very well? 😥😷

I like to watch wildlife documentaries (nice ones with no predation!) and eat carby things like pasta or rice.

I hope you feel better soon

Tomato soup or marmite on toast with tea, and come dine with me

Murder She Wrote and Midsomer Murders! Toast and honey and tea. Get well soon!

Well written comedies from (fairly recent) days of yore - Peep Show, The Office, Thick of It, Alan Partridge, IT Crowd, Kath and Kim.. Father Ted if I need soothing..

Food - carbs and fat basically.. Baked potato with cheese and sour cream, cheese and crackers, pasta with cheese.. cheese cheese cheese.. A proper pudding with custard sounds really good though!

Vegemite on toast and the X Files on Amazon Prime are my saviours today! Feel better soon.

Oooh - Midsomer Murders! Good call!

BBC Pride and prejudice. Chicken soup with crusty bread or won ton soup.

Jam sandwiches or loads of hot, heavily buttered toast and I'll watch something like the Thorn Birds!
Almost makes me want to be ill lol

The princess bride with Chucky eggs and soliders! Eggs have to be perfect to dunk.

Hot water bottle, brew, sofa, throw and Princess Buttercup!

Sharpe is good ill tv.

Oven chips with mayo...lots of mayo.

When I’m not feeling well, it’s a plain jacket potato (no butter or filling) or un-buttered toast. When I’m starting to feel better, it’s a bag of crisps and lemonade - neither of which I have normally. And David Attenborough on the telly.

Well thanks ladies, Now i have to go outside with very few clothes on and wet hair to catch a cold so I can enjoy all of these wonderful things you've written about !

Heinz tomato soup and cheese and crackers. listen to the radio.

Thankyou for the well wishes ☺

Annoyed I didn't think to buy sticky toffee pudding. Considering maltloaf & peanut butter later. Obviously this cold has not affected my appetite 🍰

Everything. When I'm ill, I'll eat us out of house and home lol

Charmed is my favourite show to binge watch

Tuna pasta. A go to dish from my childhood which my DH makes for me when I have had to travel for work and get home very late, so when I am very tired, and when I am ill. Tinned tuna, condensed tinned tomato soup, cooked penne pasta, mix, grated cheese on top, heat up together in the microwave, eat by spearing 2 or 3 pieces of penne on the tines of your fork. Yum.

Anything with David Attenborough and crusty bread toasted with butter and marmite

Pancakes - homemade- with lemon and sugar and this morning

Tomato soup and Louis Theroux documentaries.

Or Gavin and Stacey.

Oysterbabe - we've just finished binge watching Gavin & Stacey. Brilliant 😂

Toast or soup. Or toast and soup.

I watch the BBC Pride and Prejudice when unwell also!

Buttery toast with Marmite or tinned tomato soup with buttered bread... cookery or medical things on TV. Cups of tea and biscuits later.

I am also now wishing I was off work with a not-too-bad cold :)

I'm really enjoying reading everyones posts. Surprised how many of you have said Marmite.

If my DH wasn't off sick I'd probably be watching my Scott & Bailey boxset. My go to films when I'm ill are The River Wild or No Good Deed ☺
