It's amazing how many people talk about having sniffles and colds on their blogs. I thought it was a bit moany at first but now I've got one I realise how horrid it makes you feel. Like you've got a bucket on your head. I haven't had a cold since march when I first went in to hospital. Typical you get a week off treatment and you get a cold.
I hope it doesn't mean I can't have my new treatment next week.
Still my mum arrives from Oz on Thursday so she can build me up with chicken soup and vitamin C.
poor baby! while you're waiting for your mum to get there, the soup lady has lots of great recipes. tho you may not feel up to trying them, just reading them may warm you up: http://joyofsoup.com/
also, i found on her site a link to a recipe for "medicine soup":

You're a life saver thank you! I'm just cooking the chicken and was wondering what extra to put in. I've got lime, ginger garlic and I think I have some cilantro in the freeze. Mmmm tasty!

that picture is a classic! slightly different to the 'helen hunt-esque' one on the right of the screen thats for sure!
you do realise that if your mum wasnt coming over then you wouldnt have a cold! something inherently comforting about having your brow mopped by your mother. i reckon we yearn for it on a subconcious level.
crank the heating on up full, cover yourself in thick blankets and sweat it out. drink lots of water to flush it out. and find someone else to tease it out (so they can be sick instead!)
colds were never a problem when we were kids!

It's true she has bought out the Sainsburys pharmacy with vitamins and juice drinks! Oh and you can't have too much chicken soup!
