Last chance to vote for your top sniffle-quashing tip and win £500 Center Parcs vouchers

176 replies

A while ago we asked you for your top tips on surviving/avoiding colds. You may have read the tips here or in a MN email.

If you post the name of the Mumsnetter you reckon has come up with the best tip on this thread, then, thanks to Kleenex Anti-Viral Tissues, you'll be in with the chance of winning £500 of Center Parcs vouchers.

If you've already voted on this thread, don't worry, your name is in the hat.

Some Mumsnetters have more than one tip on the list, so if you're voting for one of them, please specify which tip you're voting for.

Hope you're all clear (and we're not talking nasal passages).

The absolutely final (honest) closing date is midnight Wed 4 March.

This one is my favorite
Loads of garlic, vitamin C, elderberry extract (Sambucol) and sleep (though sadly you can't get the latter delivered by Sainsbury's). Expatinscotland

Air the house daily (but, obviously, don't sit ill person in the draft). Napisan/germ spray the obvious places - loo handle, bathroom door handle, fridge door handle. Give kids a probiotic yoghurt daily - adults can take probiotic vitamins, vitamin C and zinc. Use saline drops or spray for kids' snotty noses - great for non-nose blowing toddlers. Use snot suckers, if necessary. Rosa

Got to be this one by Rosa, seems the most sound advice to get through the winter with out geeting the flu x
