so near and yet so far....

Is it a cold or sinus?

I find using squirts up the nose helps me xx

Hope you get well and enjoy the wedding tomorrow x

Brighton - even Hove!

Hot bath, hot lemon and honey drinks, headache tablets, olbus ( ? ) oil to relieve a blocked nose.

I think once you have one you just have to ride it out. The above may ease the symptoms bit won't kill off the virus.

Tucked up in bed with all the cold medication under the sun with your partner bringing you hot lemon and honey drinks laced with a liberal amount of whisky. Won't cure your cold but you will feel a damm sight better by the 3rd hot toddy.

For throats I swear by manuka honey, I need my voice for work so the slightest sign of hoarseness I start taking it by the spoonful

Sellotape 3 Brussel sprouts to your forehead, stand on your left leg for 8 minutes 32 seconds while reading a copy of womens weekly, then sing Ghost Town by the Specials in a Scottish accent. Its fool proof and your cold will be gone within the hour (Honest)
