I think I'm getting a cold :(

[lurker172602]

I've got a scratchy throat and a cough and feel a bit feverish 😞
I'm lying on the couch drinking Lemsip and honey.

Oh no 😞

Warm enough?

Something mindless to watch on TV? Anyone to get you things you need?

[lurker172602 · Accepted solution]

Yes, yes and yes, thankfully. I have a good trashy book too, so it's not all bad

PS I didn't mean to tick my reply. It's the fuzzy head made me!

[lurker172602]

Harsh, very harsh (but probably true)

Hope you are feeling better...and that your throat is all soothed...

and you wake up tomorrow after a lovely sleep feeling completely good 🙂 with the cough cough sneezes all gone

Commiserations Lurker, I care enough to hope you don't get it as bad as hubby and I, been a week so far, never been so crook in my life, sick of laying and sitting around doing nothing, our foul weather hasn't helped either. I have no remedies to offer you as nothing has worked for me yet.

Hope you're feeling a bit better......and here's a recipe that really does help.  You may not want to get too up close and personal with anyone because of reeking of garlic but who cares if it helps.

put 1 cup of lemon juice, 2 or 3 (or more if you wish) crushed garlic cloves,  about 3 cms of chopped ginger into a saucepan and bring to a boil, then simmer for about 5 mins.  Strain into a container or glass and add a tbls or more of honey, then stir.

Drink the amount made over a day, warm some in the microwave throughout the day.  Make a new lot each morning until you feel better.  It soothes sore throats and the garlic and ginger help fight the germs.
