Is anyone else ill with a cold/flu thing? I'm practically overdosing on Lemsip here which helps for like..........10 minutes but apart from that does naff all. I want sympathy. MEH..or all of us sick folk can get together and spread our germs and soon we will take over the world with our bogeys.

    I have a chest infection and I'm a bit tired. Yesterday I was in agony and was taken to hospital with chest pains and I had a slightly high temperature but I'm not in as much pain now.

    Thankyou! My boyfriend told me to stop lazing in bed even though I am ill :mad: I miss college and have only had 3 days off this year in total but already I feel guilty. Hate winter bugs so much.

    Be careful with lemsip if it's the stuff with Paracetamol in it. You may find hot squash has a similar effect....

    :yes: Though there is there is the 'comfortyness' of making Lemsip that seems to do you good. Thraot pastilles CRAP, just buy some sweets to activate your saliva glands to soothe your throat.

    Ohh what I'd do for a Lemsip.... or some warm Robinsons fruit and barley... (A girl was handing out cups of them in ASDA the other week and now I'm addicted.)

    I feel poorly. :crying:
