First Defence

Just been to Tescos to get some bits....bought some of this...got a kick hasn't it???

We shall see..

How are you feeling?

I always have a bottle of this handy and use it as I feel a cold is on its way (twice a year maybe). I can't work out if it works everytime or if it wasnt a cold to start with. Anyway I havent had a cold for about 4 years so somthing is working somewhere.

A litre of pineapple juice does the trick for me .

Well i'm dosed up on hot lemon stuff (vile) am still using the Vicks napalm stuff (figured why not) and consuming as much water and fruit as I can stomach....

Touchwood not feeling worse...and MAYBE a bit better than when i woke up

First cold since 2011 for me. Feeling utterly rubbish.
Couldn't even bring myself to watch TV i felt so bad yesterday. Gallons of water and slept reasonably.
Woke feeling OK ish till i moved. The gallons of water seem to have transmuted into the gloopiest snot there ever was.
Feeling horrendous. Only thing that i have at home that helps is 'Lemsip' which helps for about 20 minutes. At least the room isn't spinning today.
Huddled up on the sofa under a quilt with the back door open for fresh air.

Never get ill as a rule, (well except kidney stones but that doesn't count).
