I Have a Cold....AAHHTTCHOOOOOO....

I have a cold.

I have a sore throat

I cant stop sneezing

I am VERY viral..........AAAHCCCHHOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!

I dont have a graphic with a dripping nose (thankfully)!  So I have to make do with the rose dripping blood, though its not quite the same thing!  Today has been a pretty good one for a Sunday.  My son Danny came round for his dinner and I fed him up.  Garlic chicken fillets and spicy roast potatoes (my own recipe, with the secret spices I use).  Then apple strudel and icecream, frozen this time not fresh.  After a chat and clearing me out of household cleaners, off he toddled to meet his girlfriend and left me to my worsening sore throat and sniffles.  Hannah has been quite well the last few days, in fact, this morning she was so pleased to see me that she wagged her tail so hard that she fell over !  Last night we went to Kerry`s for dinner and we took Hannah.  Kerry has an upstairs flat so we struggled up the stairs with her and she lay down and went to sleep, lifting her head only for a piece of roast chicken.

I think tonight is going to be a bit on the chilly side.  The sky is very clear and thats always a sign.  I have just turned up the thermostat for the central heating as I`m starting to feel decidedly cool myself.

Back to my cold, does anyone have any ideas to get a cold to clear up quickly. I already take Echinacea, I hope I have spelled that right......AAAACCHHOOOOO,   Oh , do excuse me! But I am open to suggestions, so please I`ll try almost anything.

Sorry you have a cold Sandra.  Errm I read in the paper that Echinacea has been proved to be totally useless.  Try Whisky it makes you feel better anyway lol.  Get well soon my friend.

Zinc. But it has to be taken in the first 24 hours and it is yucky! Best thing is just drink lots of orange juice and eat whatever you want and sleep.
