Got a really important day at work tomorrow and I’m starting to feel worse with the lurgy by the hour… any tips to make it do one?! Got body aches, sniffly, ear ache, have taken paracetamol and first defence hoping that will help somehow

Really hot bath. Loads of water or hot fruit teas to flush it out. Hot toddy of sliced ginger, orange and/or lemon, cloves, honey, turmeric. Wear thick fleeces over your PJs with a spare pair to change into if you have a night sweat. Another hot shower in the morning and wash your hair.

Get Day Nurse or similar product in capsule form. It clears the congestion as well as getting rid of fever and aches. Don't worry about having slightly more than the recommended dose just for this one day (a nurse told me that)

Chicken noodle soup, paracetamol and 7up

If you're just coming down with it then you probably just need to dose yourself up tomorrow and hope for the best.

I'd say paracetamol and Sudafed Blocked Nose Spray taken as frequently as instructions say. Take some vitamin C today, if you can. Either tablets or a glass of Berocca, but mainly I think I'd just make sure I had the meds available for tomorrow to help you manage as well as you can.
