Walks in with a selection of lesbian hot drinks including Lemsip for all the lurgie bearers Hello everyone!!

I'm hoping you all return to good health again soon, colds and viruses are terrible so I wish you well soon.
Just thought I would check in with you all and say hello to the newbies. I haven't been up to a great deal but I have been thinking of attending a meeting similar to crushing although I'm not entirely sure what I want from it yet, I think I'll ponder on that more before going ahead with it. Polly,I wish you all the best when you do let your WIQ know how you feel.

Loveis, yes, me friend says 'she can only feel flattered' - don't know about that she may feel it's 'creepy' especially as I didn't tell her so far. But I'm preparing mentally in any case. As i say the main thing is not to lose contact, it's the only risk.

Thanks mumbling Grin

Likea I take everything, I'm just having a run of bad luck (4 chest infections last year and several colds) and seem to be catching everything, despite copious amounts of vit c, zinc, echinacea etc. I'm having some tests done next week to see if there's anything amiss that might make my immune system a bit crap.

Mumbling will we see you over on FB?

likeatonneofbricks · 03/05/2012 20:51

Mumbling, i think you got your wires crossed a bit Grin - it's me who 's supposed to be telling wiq how i feel, polly is so far just waiting to arrange drinks, hoping that wiq writes back. Her wiq been told once that pollly fancies her though this was a while ago.
I think I'll get away with a mild 'under the weather' feeling, but polly must take all she can. Nurofen Cold andFlu is good.

pollyblue · 03/05/2012 20:51

Well you have a good reason not to have said anything so far - you're not gay so this is all new to you and you've needed time to get your head round it and try and gauge how she might react.

likeatonneofbricks · 03/05/2012 20:51

L-Lysine is good for immune system. One every day.

pollyblue · 03/05/2012 20:53

Sadly i can't take things like that Likea, only paracetamol-based things. I'm on the mend I think, just need to get rid of the chesty cough.

pollyblue · 03/05/2012 20:53

I've not heard of that...will investigate.

likeatonneofbricks · 03/05/2012 20:53

polly, I can justify things Grin - still a small risk she;ll find it creepy, especially as I'm a lot younger. Though not young as such.

likeatonneofbricks · 03/05/2012 20:54

Have penicilin if chest thing doesn't go. Or at least cough mixture. I hate paracetomol. Nurofen is SO soothing.

pollyblue · 03/05/2012 20:55

think it's a risk you'll have to take Grin I don't think she'll find it creepy though.

pollyblue · 03/05/2012 20:56

yes will see Dr next week if still coughing but i think i'll be ok - i don't feel as ill as i did last time i had a chest infection. Thankfully.

likeatonneofbricks · 03/05/2012 21:09

at least have cough mixture then. and generally don't overdo it.

MumblingFanjoChops · 03/05/2012 23:23

Oh goodness, I'm sorry Likea... new meds and my head is a bit funny. Thanks for picking up on my crossed wires!
Polly I had meant to contact Crushing with regards to joining in on FB but I've not really been with it lately. It's enough for me to worry about catching up on here and as it seems so quiet on here I'm guessing there is a lot to read on FB and I doubt I can process all that information right now. I really am feeling spaced out!

Gay40 · 03/05/2012 23:39

Now I know where I got my cold and general shittiness from Hmm

EatsBrainsAndLeaves · 03/05/2012 23:47

What you can catch a cold over mumsnet Shock

And are you sure you weren't just shitty before Grin

Gay40 · 03/05/2012 23:50

I totally was/am!

You are funny x

EatsBrainsAndLeaves · 03/05/2012 23:51

Thanks Smile

Gay40 · 03/05/2012 23:58

I got my cold from that bloody fb thread.

EatsBrainsAndLeaves · 04/05/2012 00:01

Next time someone posts on MN saying they are ill with a cold or DV, I am going to post telling them off for not thinking about all the parents and kids who are now going to get ill because of their selfishness in logging on.

Gay40 · 04/05/2012 00:02

Please do! You'll get some silly twat taking offence.

EatsBrainsAndLeaves · 04/05/2012 00:05

And the people defending me saying i am obviously mentall ill.

I will of course, also get accused of being a Troll
