to think that being the only perosn at home without a cold is not really a good thing?!

[Lowfat]

If I am not badgering DH to take some medicine and making him endless coffees I am pinned down under a clingy child and pandering to their every whim.

Nothing is getting done round the house!

If I had a cold I would be just as lethargic and miserable as the rest of them and wouldn't give a stuff about dust, ironing and washing up!

Be careful what you wish for! I always tend to come down with the same bug a few days later, and when I am feeling utterly miserable my DS is bouncing around energetically while, DH is back at work,and I am lying around feeling miserable. You should see the state of the house after DS is left to run wild for a day or two!!!!

I know - DH thinks I have the 'Slow burner' version and that I will be ill over Christmas! Because I say dont have time to be ill now and I am off over Christmas!

me too, i've been the only well one in house of 3 males (42, 3 and 8mths) since friday.

sigh

Better than being the one at home with the cold though. I am fed up today of feeling all roggy and sniffly and sneezy. DH is not sympathetic.

And my house still neeeds cleaning and tidying - and I can't be bothered. But I have no choice. It needs doing. Trouble is I am still sat here with a cuppa in my PJs. I must move.

DD actually does have a bit of a cold too but she is at school - they were off to the residential home for the elderly to sing carols so she was excited about that.

Oh Hulababy - I feel for you! My DS and I have been sick for about 3 weeks now. But there is no way a 2 year old will stay put for more than a day or two. He's really energetic, just more crabby- especially at meal times. I had to do a major clean fest on Monday because we had someone coming over, and then on Tuesday I crashed into a heap, leaving DS pretty much to his own devices, so every room he can access looks just as bad as it did before I blitzed it!!!!
