We have all had a cold the past week and DS1 was really bad with a high fever, and DS2 has a bad cough and runny nose. I had a cough and a runny nose for a few days but bloody hell, DH has to have it the worst!

He has been saying he is 'dying of the flu' and today I think he has taken the total piss- he went to bed at 8pm last night (although lay and listened to his ipod and read a book), then stayed in bed all day sleeping /listening to ipod until 4pm! Yes, while I saw to the Ds's all day. He got up, declared how ill he was but still met up with his mate at night to play table tennis at the sport centre.

He is now back and has gone to bed cos he is still 'dying'.

FFS! I said he can't be that bloody ill and he is getting no more sympathy. I hate the feckin man flu!

Well enough to out / socialise / spread his man flu germs but not well enough to help out at home.

Lock him in the shed.

a familiar story - man flu strikes again.

We had Man D&V last week. I was well enough to take care of DS when we were both puking then when DH got it he took the day off and stayed in bed He did have a raging temperature though...

Too ill to get out of bed then surely too ill to go out? Although wait up, silly me, he'll have needed fresh air won't he? For medical reasons. Unlike anyone with real flu who would be so ill that the end of the world could come and go unnoticed.

Idle fucker. Treat him as if invisible.

I often find that the quickest cure for man flu is the removal of all food provision with the words 'starve a fever feed a cold '

Table tennis isn't really a sport is it? You know he's swinging the lead - make him pay.
