It's cold, I'm exhausted and maybe a tad run down.

All my bloods are fine and I'm taking vitamins but I'm sick of failing rubbish.

What do you do when you need a bit of a bump?

A hot berroca and 2 annadin extra works for me. I usually grate a little bit of ginger in if I feel particularly bunged up or lousy. 💐💐

1000mg Vitamin C and an early night (actually lots of early nights if possible).

QuinoaWest · 16/01/2023 18:47

Make sure I'm drinking enough water.

Smelling (or tasting) fresh lemon/fresh peppermint perks me up.

Power naps.

Today was so drained that I tried a 'revitalising tonic' phial of royal jelly and ginseng. Wow...felt like I'd been charged up at the mains! May repeat tomorrow.

Ah, this sounds amazing but no bath at the moment just a shower. Think things breaking and not having the funds to repair immediately is definitely part of it!

Hot ribena, and an early night with a hot water bottle, a cat and an audio book of Winnie the Pooh.

Wifflywafflywoo · 16/01/2023 20:07

Smooth radio style spotify playlist (basically all my smooth radio faves plus cheesy songs from 80,90,00s) on my headphones, potter around the house tidying whilst snaffling a pepsi max and a kitkat.

If completed wiped out, pjs, fluffy socks, blanket, sofa, pepsi max, snacks and trash tv or my kindle.

Simple but effective

Like Mr Chow. "Just let me do one bump, get my head straight."...............

I was recommended metatone recently by someone at work who swears by it. I decided to try it after I was ill in December and i think it helped.

watchfulwishes · 16/01/2023 20:16

Posh fresh orange.
Yoga.
Good TV.
Very comfy clothes.
Too many crisps.

ChatSamosa · 16/01/2023 20:22

A rehydration sachet (dioralyte).

A lie down, just the resting helps me.

A back stretch.

Mol1628 · 16/01/2023 20:41

Metatone helps me too
