I feel dreadful :( I was awake all night coughing, then managed a couple of hours sleep on the settee and woke with a stiff neck from having my head at an angle. I've no one to make me the 'comfort food' my mum used to give me when I was ill ( bread & bovril) No one to tuck me in with another blanket and make me copious quantities of hot drinks,

and I have to wait for the Asda man to come tomorrow to bring me some cough medicine!

Go on you know you want to say "Awwww" rather than laugh :-P

Failing sympathy, post something interesting, preferably a debate that will get me riled enough to pump some adrenalin round my system ;-)

AWWWWW
get well soon Rose
we will be thinking of you fingers crosses for a speedy recovery x

Thankyou Joy :-) I'm only having a whinge here, cos there's no one else to whinge to lol...Dan is in self-imposed isolation upstairs in case he catches it too !

poor dan

Aaw can't Dan just make you a hot drink and leave it within reach.

Sorry to hear you feel poorly Rose. You do seem to get a lot of coughs. They are so debilitating aren't they? <3 <3 <3 <3 :-)

Prince Philip's new title is intended to soften the blow as he has to relinquish the 'Duke of Edinburgh' badge when Scotland declares UDI.

Ok - RR. Dive in!

I hope you can feel the wave of sympathy I've just sent your way Rose , I hope your up and feeling fighting fit again very soon xx

Thank you ladies :-)

Dermot...don't care, lol.

Motherly hugs for you Rose - if you lived nearer, I'd bring you some comfort food. Hope you feel better soon xx

Awww thank you Wend :-)

I shall go back to huddling on the settee now, stay well all of you xx

If you have any dk brown sugar and an onion - slice onion thinly and place in layers in bowl with sugar in between, cover with cling film and keep in fridge. By morning there should be the beginnings of a syrup which will soothe your cough and chest. Does not taste of onions. Will last for 3-4 days.

Tried and tested by 4 generations! Take care summer colds are nasty.

C & P'd that one, Chris!

Ahhhhh pull yerself together our Rose and have a very very very large dose of something alcoholic and if theres none in the house, then a few spoons of meths should do the job. And a lemon or satsuma would do. And lots of drugs. :-D There you go, my version of tlc....oops...and hope you feel better soon :-) XXXX BC

What are you like BC! :-D :-D :-D

Get the brandy out!.........

*sprays disinfectant all over thread and pats Rose on the back*

A Whisky Toddy is what you need,my girl!

My mum used to give us Junket when we were ill.
