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!

Bonsoir Anna:
Practical, sensible advice. All the things your mother told you to do that you ignored!

I can't decide between Doodle2U
and Paperchase.

I think paperchase just gets it though - I do like the direct approach

StarlightMcKenzie made me smile with frank talk of 'gunk' and weird very practical toast tip.

Ah shucks guys!

DS and DD have streaming colds at the minute and I could do with a holiday - if I win, will any of you look after them so I can keep away till they are no longer contagious?
