I hope it's passed it's test .

Me too... Amazing how the lack of a comma has changed the meaning of the sentence.

I'm normally not one to misplace punctuation.

Just seen a Great Spotted Woodpecker in a tree at the bottom of the garden.

I saw 2 Treecreepers in Ambleside this morning, near the YHA.

I have spent most of the day tucked up in bed. I do not feel like eating anything, but I do not suppose that matters for a few days, as long as I drink plenty of fluids. My head feels as if it is stuffed full of cotton wool. My arms and legs ache like I have been wrestling with someone.

Ibuprofen can make my asthma worse, as does those "Night Nurse" and other similar concoctions. Ibuprofen is not usually a problem if I have the odd headache, but as I am wheezing (fairly mildly I spose) I will avoid it.

I am not going to the Doctor, as If I am in a room with lots of other people with viruses, then I am bound to pick up more germs.

Has anyone got any sensible suggestions as to what else I could do?

Paracetamol, plenty of fluids, maybe something simple like soup, to eat.

I thought you'd suggest a Kebab with plenty of Chilli sauce, I would......................or a good hot Curry.

Maybe Mulligatawny soup.

I have been feeling unwell over the weekend, so I may be A Wol for a few days while I recover from this lurgy (sore throat, coughs and wheezinesses).

I hope you don't get as ill as @potsy!

That sounds exactly what I've had for a week now, not fun.

I hope you are starting to feel better.

Just wish I knew what I've done to my left elbow. Doesn't help I'm left-handed either.

I guess you have strained it with over use/ by doing too much. Can you let it rest for a bit to give it chance to heal?

This. Take the paracetamol regularly. Plus lots of rest.

I have bought a slow cooker.

Wot others have said; keep warm, rest up, plenty of fluids and paracetamol. Maybe a very hot, steamy bath.

I recommend chamomile tea with a slice of lemon and a generous dollop of honey to go with the paracetamol xxx

You'll get a lot of pleasure out of it, I'm sure. You put things in and magic happens.

Probably. Or tweaked it while trying to move a broken branch that is still dangling halfway up a tree.

Rest is easier said than done though

I tried the hot curry method tonight, it was absolutely vile, last time I'll be using that place for my monthly take out

I have just had my last sip of alcohol for 40 days, willpower permitting.
