Oh i feel so bad

[Wix]

I've got a cold. Its just come on a couple of days ago. I didn't go to work today, i felt bloody terrible. I've spent most of the day on the sofa with my wonderful mum looking after me.
Has anybody else got a cold, or am i the only unlucky one here?

Ethel has finaly guessed i am a man. Well done, goooooyed.
Jane, i'm using a nasal spray at the moment. It works quite well.

Oh dear it's serious, it's da da da...... Man flu!

My hybbu gets it and he really is ill for days and days and days. Im only kidding, please don't take offence! you should try manuka honey, it's really good but expensive. Take a little every day and it helps build up your emunities!

Get yor mum to make you some elderberry syrup (full of vitamin C) Bless you.....aaaatchoooo!!!

[society]

how do you make elderberry syrup?

[helliebobs]

I've got a cold and my son's got a cold but I was very brave and went to work only to get a call at lunchtime to say he was too ill to be at nursery. I'm not at work tomorrow so I think we'll both stay in our pjs all day :)

Elderberry syrup :

Pick some elderberries (about 2lb), remove them from their stalks & put them (after washing them) in a saucepan, with an equal amount of brown sugar.
Simmer till thick & syrupy (squash the berries while cooking to extract all the juice). Pour through a sieve into a jug & then bottle. It will keep in the fridge for up to 2 years.
Dilute a couple of spoonfuls in hot water & take before bed-time if you have a cold. Or you can make a nice "hedgerow kir" by mixing a little with a glass of white wine!! K xx
