Me too
Yesterday's lurgy was very bad, worst i've had it in a long time, popped a few pills last night and thankfully signs of improvement today
Mrs H has it. A very disturbed night.
When I have it I take myself to the back of the cave and come out when I’m better. Mrs H needs regular cups of tea, and never shuts up about feeling hot/cold/aching etc in her best whiny voice. At midnight last night she wanted me to take her to hospital, but she wasn’t so ill she couldn’t make herself a cup of tea and go sit on the terrace smoking. Drives me nuts!
She’s sat doing Sudoko puzzles - not bad for someone who had pneumonia & cholera at midnight!

We've been offered the flu jab by work, so I'm booked in at Asda on Monday. I did contemplate not having it as it always guarantees an extra week of annual leave.

On the subject of dishwasher tablets.....
We once had mice get inside through the aperture in the wall where the kitchen sink drained out.
I discovered this not by seeing them but on opening the cupboard door under the sink. Several JCloths were totally shredded - presumably for nesting material.
But, lots of dishwasher tablets had been gnawed open and the contents reduced to powder. I never fathomed out that one
Who can fathom rodents. We had a major infestation so I put down poison under most floor boards, the remainder of the box was put on the top shelf of rack in the shed, the rodents climbed up to the shelf and finished the box off.
Last time we had mice they got in one of the kitchen cupboards and helped themselves to my Coco Pops. I was raging. The traps were set, baited and I declared all out war.
A man’s Coco Pops are sacred.

You need to get a cat. Not for the reason you might think...
Our cat used to bring in mice and release them unharmed.
They took up residence behind the fridge, and the only food they ever took was out of the cat's bowl.
Your Coco Pops will be safe

Had my flu jab today.
This evening I feel as if I've played 36 holes two days running when in fact I've done very little.

Hope you are better soon. HID kindly gave it to me. Took me nearly two weeks to feel better and am still not 100%.

I don't think I've ever had it...some life threatening colds though.
Think I’ve had it twice. Massive difference between a nasty cold and flu. I was in my prime the first time, 24 & very fit. Knocked hell out of me. I was still coughing 4 months later.

Thankfully, flu is something that just seems to have passed me by.

Yeah, completely bed ridden aren't you. I'd definitely remember because I'd still be going on about it.
Think I have had it once. Felt absolutely dreadful.
But a few years later I had pneumonia. I wouldn’t recommend that to anyone. Flu was bad. Pneumonia was ten times worse.
