Cold/Flu?

All weekend I have been feeling awful. Suddenly woke up Saturday morning with a runny nose (the mucous isn't clear, let's put it that way), sore throat, aching jaw, headache, earache, a bit of a temperature and I've been sleeping loads due to being in a lot of pain with my symptoms and an aching body, my pulse rate seems to be a little on the high side (104bpm) and I've got a phlegmy cough.

What I'm battling between is, is this a normal, common cold? Or could it be the Flu? I thought with Flu you had to be completely bedridden, and even though I'm sleeping and laying on the sofa quite a bit, I'm not incapacitated. Mum put the idea in my head earlier when she said it could be the flu - and I've been undecided ever since!
