Hello. A while ago, all you lovely Mumsnetters gave us some brilliant tips for surviving winter colds and sniffles. Well, now we want to know which of those tips you think is the very best of all.

And, thanks to the very nice folk at Kleenex Anti-Viral Tissues, everyone who votes for their top tip will be in with the chance to win £500 of Center Parcs vouchers.

All you need to do is check out the tips and then click on the link at the bottom to come back to this thread and post the name of the Mumsnetter whose tip you liked best. (Some Mumsnetters have got more than one tip on the list, so if you're voting for one of them, please specify tip 1 or tip 2).

All votes must be posted on this thread by the closing date: midnight on Tuesday 24th February. Good luck!

Nagapie - this is exactly what I do. Mmmm chicken soup, or 'Jewish penicillin' as my Mum calls it - not sure why though.

Agree with Habbibu :
Stay at home. I'd rather one person was off work briefly than seven people sneezing and groaning all round me because of the extra infection. Work at home, I say!

straight to the hub - make it as comfortable as possible because it is going to happen, just just don't want to add to the discomfort of it all

I think the lemon and honey is always a winner. Comforting and a bit of vitamin C.

Weegle · 20/02/2009 20:00

Echinacea. I take it for a month to boost my immunity. You can also get the drops for children. I haven't had so much as a sniffle all winter. Sidge
