not getting much hope from you two as I've only had it a couple of days. Hope you feel much much better Tutter!

piratecat · 11/09/2008 16:02

kitten, me too, 2 days that it sorry for the gloom. !! We should check back in, with positive moments, like ooh headache cleared, or nose unblocked.

right i am off to buy more loo roll in, and maybe some sort of cold tablet. tho they aren't meant to be that effective are they?.

Am relying on extra strength paracetamol, and ibuprophen atm, but i can't tell if i't releiving the symptoms.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 11/09/2008 17:10

I usually end up taking a combo of sudafed and otrivine - I'm such a nose wuss!
d'ya reckon its too early for whiskey yet?!
one positive note - I reckon coughs might be good for tummy toning?

thebecster · 11/09/2008 17:13

oh, me too! Can't sleep at night, wake up feverish with raw sore throat, chest all burning and wheezy, nose blocked, sinuses hurt, feel all woozy, keep being sick because coughing so much... Bleargh! Horrid!

OhYouBadBadKitten · 11/09/2008 17:43

oh blimey thebecster - I'm nowhere near that bad! Hope you feel better soon.

Feeling much less sorry for myself now!

piratecat · 12/09/2008 10:07

so you have a hard day ahead, with an ill one and being poorly yourself.

I am taking these flu tablets from the supermarket, tbh i feel a bit woozy tho.

OP posts:
BoysAreLikeDogs · 12/09/2008 10:09

I have had paracetamol and am allowing DS to loaf watching spongebob

I have twirled tisses stuffed up my swollen nostrils to absorb the snot flow.

Like a walrus.

Lovely.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 12/09/2008 11:37

What a lovely image BALD!

Had one of those peculiar fluey nights and every time dd turned over in bed (in the next room1) I'd jump up convinced there was something wrong. My poor dh!
tis a very energy sapping one this one isnt it.
poor all of us.

BoysAreLikeDogs · 12/09/2008 11:41

Yes we can all feel v sorry for ourselves

I have been doing 'poorly cleaning' whereby one leans on the kitchen worktop to polish the taps

OhYouBadBadKitten · 12/09/2008 11:51

lol at poorly cleaning.
I was brave stupid and attempted to cut the hedge with the shears. Neighbours found me sprawled across the top of the hedge saying 'oh I can't be bothered' Then I coughed, the step ladder wobbled very alarmingly so I gave up.

BoysAreLikeDogs · 12/09/2008 11:52

at wobbly stepladder/shears combo

OhYouBadBadKitten · 12/09/2008 12:04

not my most sensible moment really.

piratecat · 12/09/2008 14:39

well for all the poorlyness, you are making me cuckle re the taps and shears.

These extra strength somerfield tabs are actually not bad, youget 1000mg para in one hit (2 tabs)!!

I was like you badbadkitten, kept waking up last night, and only an hour had passed by.

ok i have to find some rouge/gravy browining now to try and make face appear alive for the school run

OhYouBadBadKitten · 12/09/2008 17:05

must be cat (and dog) flu!

OhYouBadBadKitten · 13/09/2008 13:36

So hows everyone doing?

Good news for me is no temp today and that makes such a difference.
Bad news is must be affecting my ears cos the world keeps doing mad dashy spins. But that could be a bonus - tis like a free rollercoaster trip Spent good part of night coughing but dh is lovely and doesnt hate me yet.

piratecat · 14/09/2008 16:52

well last night was still feverish, but cough is a bit better.

my face looks like i have had a chemical peel, and i think i have aged ten yrs over the last week.

OP posts:
OhYouBadBadKitten · 14/09/2008 17:11

you are having it pretty rough.
Have to say I feel loads better today - yay for me!. Bit of a cough and quite tired but I think I've got off really lightly. Hope you catch up with me quickly.
