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!

My vote goes to Plantsitter

Where to start?! 3littlefrogs (both tips), Rosa and Rhubarb all tie IMHO as all very sound evidence-based tips. (But I loved virtually all of them and some eg plantsitter made me howl with laughter...which is another bonus, as currently suffering with a cold for 3 weeks and having a laugh makes me feel better!)

Well I'm going to vote for myself as I know it works! My immune system is compromised and I don't often get coughs and colds because I use Melrose almost every day. If I run out or forget it, I end up catching a cold.

Vote solo.

Avoid licking/kissing the petri dishes that are toddlers. Especially those ones with streaming green snot on their faces.
