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!

Plantsitter is a woman after my own heart. My man no longer gets man flu or coughs after I discovered a natural and very effective cough mixture. Chop one onion, sprinkle with brown sugar leave in fridge over night. Smells worse than it tastes, clears any cough. Its almost a miracle the speed my big brave man recovers when he sees me get the onions out of the cupboard!!!!

I'm definately with "Paperchase! as I like her style and I'm a caring nurse (laugh)

mhmummy · 24/02/2009 21:51

I vote for Zazen (tip 1) AKA Jack Bauer (and would add that anti-bacterial hand gel is also an essential item on the London Underground...)

I like the thumbwitch suggestion about keeping away from your GPs surgery. I work in one and get coughed and sneezed over every day !

listenglisten · 24/02/2009 22:42

my vote is for Zazen (Tip 1) - just wondering how close you need to be to smell the breath!

Man flu is real and us men need as much sympathy aswe can get

Habbibu's tip about staying at home, if people did it, the germs wouldn't spread everywhere.

LizzyA123 · 25/02/2009 14:40

Ah slight balls up here at HQ - we are extending this competition for a few days because we've got a mail out to go with it that we completely forgot about are sending shortly . So you've all got the weekend to enter if you haven't already and we'll close it on Monday.
