    There are so many lurgies going around at the moment, and our house is suffering from the sore throat and hacking cough one. Groan! We are all so dosed up, and even the simplest job exhausts us. Mark is on a mercy mission to the chemist to stock up on yet more cough and cold supplies. I think a couple of weeks in the sun would cure me...now where to go? 8)

    I have had a bad cold for the past 2 weeks and am just now getting over it. I have been sucking down cough medecine like beer.

    Well then you can feel for me I am supposed to be having an op on my foot on 31st(Hah!) and they will not do it if I have a cold and................my throat is going sore and the nose is blocking. My OH has had a cold for 2 weeks now and I guess it is my turn next.

    Well just don't pack your bags and decide to holiday up here in Scotland!!! We've had approx 30" of snow over the last two weeks and it snowed again today.

    I hope you all get over the lurgy in time for New Year. Stay warm and look after each other. :setf_018:

    Have a cup of honey with lime and whenever there is a irritation to cough sip on a tablespoon of honey :) It works great for me ..... I don't like cough syrup because it makes me drowsy!! :D

    I'm soooo pleased for you Eric. :D Now you can start 2010 without worrying about your op coming up. I hope you soon feel back on top form.

    Happy New Year to you and yours.

    I think everyone has something thats going around .I have had a sinus infection and now Heather had to go
    to the Dr. for a really bad sinus infection. She missed 3 days of work because it was a bacteria infection and she was running a temp. and can not work around chemo patents .I'm so glad we haven't had that cough everyone else has had or has got
