I can relate...I too have a stinker of a cold at the mo.

I have been having hot lemon and honey drinks.  Very soothing and I think the vit C is good for the cold and the honey soothes the raw throat.

I use half a lemon topped up with boiling water and a teaspoon of runny honey.

We are sick bunnies and need big huggles.

Sorry to hear you have the stinker too i have tried the hot lemon and orange and blackcurrant lol got the kettle on at the mo grandads orders were to get all snuggled up in bed with a nice hot toddy (??)  lol with one of those down meif i stay awake for more than 10 mins i'm sure the cold will become a distant memory at least untill morning lol  

Sending big snuggles right back at ya babe you get that Cybe to look after you



Right hot toddy is now down ones neck lol off to bed for an early night Dal is coming up to tuck me in ahhhh bless lol See you in the morning Head is spinning all ready

I know this probably sounds corny but when I was a kid, Chicken Noodle Soup always made me feel better.

Hope you feel better soon.

Drink lotsa lemsip! it's tasty stuff and does wonders for colds! Vics on your chest and keep some lockets in your pocket...

Other than that you have to play the waiting game

My anti-cold top tip would have to be whiskey !
If I feel a cold comming on sometimes I am lucky enough to catch it early and pickle the germ with copious amounts of single malt. It doesn't always work, but hey, at least it was fun trying

  Pass me the tissues please, achhhooooo achoooooooo

My nose is bright red and dripping like a tap   I know what you mean Lisa about catching flies, thats the worst isnt it, not being able to breathe through your nose and slapping and gasping for breathe whilst trying to eat  

Luckily I have about a gallon of Vicks here that I use for my HS. Paracetamol for the headiness, but Mikey is right, just got to sit it out and hope it doesnt go onto the chest, hmmm perhaps I should cut the fags down ? ...hmmm nah    

Glad you two, Gobe & Fluffy feeling better now you have passed your virtual germs on !
