Join my pity party if you feel BLEUGH too

I'm SO over this cold/flu bug!

I've had it since Monday, got sent home from work at lunchtime (I looked that bad aparently). I spent Tuesday sleeping all day, yesterday I had hot and cold flushes and dizzy spells as well as coughing up greenies the cough has now gone to my chest and my asthma is really bad!

I though you were supposed to feel better for resting a couple of days? I'm getting worse as the week goes on

I called my boss this morning to tell him I wouldn't be in again today and he thinks I'll need a medical certificate to prove I'm unfit for work or else they can't pay me (even though they always send us home if we've got nasty colds as there's only 8 of us in the office and we can't afford for the whole team to be sick!). I told him there's no way I'm going to spend $45 to see my GP just because I've got a cold and besides that, I really don't think I should be driving with these dizzy spells

AAAAND... I'm so behind schedule with Caitlin's new room Her new bed and furniture are due next week and I just haven't got the energy to do any painting

BLEUGH! Told you it was a whoa is me post
Feel free to add your whinges

Poor you.  I had a virus like that a couple of weeks ago.  Still not 100% over it but I did start feeling better by about day 6.

Yep, really knocked us for six.  DH got it on the Friday, Michaela got it on the Sunday and on the Monday she literally didn't move all day.  She just lay on her couch and didn't even have enough energy to put the iceblock I gave her for dinner into her mouth, instead she just held it until it melted.  Poor wee poppit.  I came down with it on the Wednesday and spent most of the next 5 days in bed or on the couch asleep.  Disney Pixar movies were my saviour.  I went back to work on the Monday (last week) and I'm still coughing, headachy and tired but on the bright side my sinuses are mostly decongested now.

Iv got a cold too and it sucks, its my 2nd in a month. I have to work like this as my manager is not a nice one and demands a medical after 2 days, i cant afford to go to the doc for a cold either!

Hope you get better soon

I have a cold too. This is after having the flu, then tonsilitis. I have just returned to work after nearly 3 weeks off and I am still not well!

I will join in, I came down with it on Sunday and although it is 'just a cold' it would be the closest to having the flu I think I have ever been (and many would call it that, but I have a pet peeve about it so wont go there...). I was achey all over, hot and cold, couldn't get out of bed for 2 days. Came back to work yesterday and decided I needed to see doctor and now have a chest infection. AM just hoping Jack doesn't get it.

If you are coughing up stuff Toni you should see a doctor as it will mean a chest infection which can turn nasty very quickly

the boys had it and are better now but i got it worse, oh and even eden has a cough... my nose was running so much it looked like i had scabs on it! oh and i blew my nose the other day and nearly passed out!

and there were two days in the middle of the week somewhere where gabriel didnt go to kindy casue i was too sick to take him...

hope you feel better soon toni... go to bed and stop worrying about decorating!

Toni, our employee had the flu last week and DID take the whole week off!  Dh was getting beside himself by Friday, but what can you do.  These days the flu does last over a week, and if you get the cough with it, you'll be coughing for weeks after.

Yip.

I'm sick of my cold.

Sick of my boys waking at night.

Sick of the weather being so unpredicable.

Sick of work



I hear you TB !!
