Sympathy please, loads of it

[dothawkes31]

I'm full of a cold, really bad one and my throat is so sore, this is really serious and I won't just put up with insincere mutterings i need some serious get well soon messages! I really stuggled to eat the sticky toffee pudding and custard just then, i managed it but it was an effort.

[boxtops]

Aw, sticky toffee pudding, is there any left, did you not feel like finishing it all up? Get well soon, but leave some for me!

[sanden]

[joggerjayne]

excellent effort so far lol I'm on the strong stuff, max strength Lemsip, I'm drinking it straight.

Sandersons Throat Specific Linctus from Boots is fabulous for the sore throat, dot - tastes like battery acid but does the trick for me every time (and I'll swap some with you for the left-over pud)

Awww - hope you are feeling better soon, Dot!!

Ah, sorry to hear that Dotty! Not nice having a nasty cold & sore throat. My daughter's currently tucked up in bed with the same today, you poor things.

Mmmm, I used to like syrup sponge pudding with Elmlea when I was feeling under the weather, but have to watch my cholesterol these days, even though I look like a bacon bone!

Keep warm & get well soon. -xx-

♥♥♥ Get well soon Dot ♥♥♥

lol well you're all cheering me up! i was in work for 7.30 this morning and worked right through til 8pm and didn;t stop long enough to let it take hold but I';m giving in now, got a day off tomorrow and so the best place to be is under the duvet. Does anyone else have a nedicine cupboard that looks like a Boots pharmacy???

[smudge]

Hope you feel much better tomorrow Dot. Sleep well.

Avoid milk and other dairy products, drink hot sugary ginger tea (made with fresh ginger root) and go mental with the vitamin C and garlic.

My late dad's remedy for the flu - black coffee with a shot of brandy or whiskey added. Drink this with a couple paracetamol and a good night's rest. Good as new next day!

Feel better soon Dotty. x

[dothawkes31]

you're all lovely people. In the night I woke up totally disorientated, could not remember what day it was! But slept in til 12 and though I feel like I;ve been hit by a bus and still croaking and full of a cold, I don't have to go anywhere and so I'm working my way through a pack o crumpets. Thanks guys!

If you want sympathy it's somewhere in the dictionary between sh1t and syphalis.

Hope this helps?
