I believe you can substitute that oily tree stuff with Baileys Irish Cream and freeze the water into cubes, results may vary

I tried the old salt + water last night as I don't believe we have any tea tree oil. I'm hoping this is nowhere near as bad as last time, as I'm not seeing much in the way of white patches in my throat yet, whereas last time it was covered in white patches.

For as long as I can remember the missus always has stuff on the hob boiling in a pan with the lid off. I’ve told her at least 100 times to put the lid on and turn the heat right down, she does but then the next night pan is there bubbling merrily away with the lid off

I'm no cook BUT if she's reducing liquids for sauces etc then pan lid off
Or if she's like me she can't find the right lid and doesn't want to add to the washing up!!

I've questioned someone's irritation - now I'm irritated at myself!!

Do some cooking yourself
Actually that's probably a bit hasty. Just find a reason not to go into the kitchen yourself and hey bisto your irritation has disappeared!

No it’s generally boiling water for pasta or veg etc and there’s plenty of lids to the NEW pans not 1 foot away

Green veg loses its colour if you put a lid on. Stays green with the lid off. I have no idea why - it just does.No it’s generally boiling water for pasta or veg etc and there’s plenty of lids to the NEW pans not 1 foot away
With a lid on, even partially, pasta boils over within 3 seconds of taking your eye off it.
I do all the cooking in our house and I mostly just use the lids for draining.

When I'm making pasta I boil the water in the kettle first and then pour it in. Doesn't everyone do that?No it’s generally boiling water for pasta or veg etc and there’s plenty of lids to the NEW pans not 1 foot away

Nope. Takes longer than on my induction hob. The kettle doesn’t hold enough water either.When I'm making pasta I boil the water in the kettle first and then pour it in. Doesn't everyone do that?

We cook on gas. The central heating is gas. A boiling pan just reduces the amount of heat the boiler has to produce.

But I put the lids on anyway.

Are you sure it's tonsillitis?Only about 7 weeks since the worst tonsillitis I've ever had, it now appears I've caught tonsillitis again. Might have to seriously consider having them out at this rate, which I didn't particularly want to do.
I've had a sort throat, along with a horrible cough due to congestion and blocked sinuses now for 8 or 9 weeks. Still no sign of it actually going away.

Tonsillitis feels different to a regular sore throat to me. More like shards of glass whereas a regular sore throat is more sandpapery.
