Have You Caught My Cold?

[Tilly2]

How long does it take for a cold to germinate? One of my colleagues at work accused me of giving her my cold. I worked with her on Tuesday, Wed. and Thurs. and her cold started on the following Monday. I think that's too soon.

[tonyav]

No it's definitely your fault, Yilly ;-)

[Psybbo]

Mine started today after OH caught it in a Ryanair flight, I think it's about 3-4 days

[tonyav]

Righto then sibo, hot toddy's then ?.

[Psybbo]

Can't drink hot whiskey, Tony. Lemsip I think

[Tilly2]

I didn't know you had a cold, Psybbo. I hope it's not too bad.

[tonyav]

And a hot bath, sibo. you need to sweat it out.

[Psybbo]

Just started today, Tilly, I hope you are better x. Tony, remember - no bath now!

[Tilly2]

Sleep helps. I spent most of last weekend dozing on the sofa.

[tonyav]

Ah yes, sorry sibo I had forgotten about the new bathroom.

[Tilly2]

Well if you haven't got a bath, a hot shower is better. The steam helps to shift some of the gunk.

[tonyav]

I'm good at back scrubbing, sibo !.

[Tilly2]

Yontav, the scrubber.

Ive caught my sons cold.....and he has been germy for three days. My chest is on bloody fire.....and worse still I can't have a fag! So yes....two to five days is about right. Kill them......! X

[tonyav]

DOH.

[Psybbo]

Tony, lovely, Yilly don't tell, Icg get well soon xx

[tonyav]

Get well soon sibo, Yilly and lcg.

[Tilly2]

I actually didn't realise that they were caught so quickly. However, you can't have a day off because you've got a cold, can you? It sounds so pathetic. 'I'm not coming in today because I have a cold.'

I have my own, I've had it for a month and it's mine, all mine. Nothing will make me part from it.

Well, nothing that I've found so far.

[tonyav]

Of cause you can Tilly, if you don't feel well then phone in sick.

[Tilly2]

A month, jno? Blimey.
