...and it really bloody hurts , I can hardly swallow. And I have got aches and little stabbing pains all over, and I look like a hamster because my glands are all swollen, and my skin feel like one giant bruise all over. AND a a new cold sore. I have caught a virus from ds1, who has had it for over a week now, and has a burst eardrum.

Just wanted to whinge and moan, really

Papillon · 26/09/2006 16:41

FrannyandZooey · 26/09/2006 20:28

Greeny give us one of your delightfully vivid updates pls

GreenLumpyTonsils · 26/09/2006 20:36

OK

No more snotty brain balls, but I have had great globules of bright orange glutinous jelly shooting out of my sinuses all afternoon, and something that looked a bit like one of those fried egg sweets, if you boiled it in glue for an hour

Temperature still normal though, and no stabbing pains today, so I am on the mend below the neck.

GreenLumpyTonsils · 26/09/2006 20:37

Oh, and my wee has now changed from brown to a curious shade of olive green, I'm assuming that's a positive development

FrannyandZooey · 26/09/2006 20:39

Orange? Jeepers creepers

you do have fascinating illnesses you know, for a hypochondriac you are at least consistently entertaining

Tutter · 26/09/2006 20:42

poor you greensleeves have been lurking and hope you're on the mend. if it makes you feel better, i have piles [wan emoticon] .

GreenLumpyTonsils · 26/09/2006 20:47

Oooh yes, Tutter, that's revived my spirits no end

Tutter · 26/09/2006 20:49

FrannyandZooey · 26/09/2006 20:50

ah, we meet again Tutter

Why do I keep coming back to this thread?

It was making me laugh and retch in equal measure but I think the orange jelly has really done it for me.

get better soon Green Tonsils or Orange Jelly or whatever.

How about GreenWees?

FrannyandZooey · 26/09/2006 20:56

Greeny always makes me laugh and retch in equal measure, Mercy

it's her trademark

SaintGeorge · 26/09/2006 21:10

If it is any small comfort to you Greeny I have also, in the midst of a throat infection, snorted out inter cranial aliens.

Just congealed blood, skin cells and phlegm (hope no one is eating) and shouldn't be anything to worry about.

Tried the onion & sugar yet?

Elibean · 26/09/2006 21:18

Ha - popping in to check on your Green One, and can see you are heaps better (as opposed to anyone reading this thread, who probably feels a lot sicker ). Good!

Elibean · 26/09/2006 21:19

Rats - check on YOU, not 'your green thing'. Although that would make sense too....

BudaBabe · 26/09/2006 21:22

Glad I ate my Flake BEFORE I checked on this thread!!

Glad you are (hopefully) on the mend Greeny.

Can I just suggest that when you are totally better you and F&Z start up as a comedy duo? Please?

upandaway · 26/09/2006 21:54

Hi Greensleeves, sorry you're not well. I empathise as I get tonsilitis too!

I believe the cure all to stop you catching all your kids bugs is a handful of Blueberries on your brekkie every morning.
Get better soon!

Papillon · 27/09/2006 06:54

excellent point SG Onion Water, my mother swears by the stuff!

are your sleeves green today - or still lots of other colours going on?

BudaBabe · 27/09/2006 09:24

Update today please! How are you?
