The Lurgy – Pyjamas and duvets compulsory

by Ellie on November 30, 2009

Why hello! Come on in. Not too close though and no hugging.

That’ll do fine. Wouldn’t want to share any germs we’re harbouring.

The Lurgy seems to have descended on our household. Not a flu of the swine variety, more of a fever inducing, asthma exacerbating, coughy, vomity, dizzy, virus. Pyjamas and duvets are the compulsory attire of the day.

Big E ’s inhaler is a permanent fixture and steroids have been added into the mix; Oh the fun! Little E is a festival of feverish snot and I’ve come over all dizzy and sleepy (shocking, I know).

Time has been whiled away watching Disney Pixar’s back catalogue on a loop interspersed with playing Extreme Marble Madness and napping.

Luckily the husband has not yet succumbed. If he does we’re doomed I tell you. Imagine all this and a husband with the dreaded Man Flu. Doesn’t bear thinking about, right? Plus who would fetch the medicine and ice cream in our hour of need were he to be struck down too? Shudder.

I shall go now and snuggle ‘neath the duvet once more before the snot propelled puke fest continues.

I bid you good morrow dear reader.

Aren’t you glad you popped by?

*many many hugs* Everyone ill is horrible and waiting for the last grown-up to succumb is horrid. May all of you improve greatly very rapidly. *leaves box of tissues, baby panadol and several tubs of icecream on your virtual doorstep*

Okay, no hugs from me then. We just had it and I don't want it back. Maybe you caught it over at mine.

I hope you all get better soon! (And no xxx. :-) )

I recommend many a large glass of wine as alcohol does kill all known germs (or is that Domestos?).
Anyways hope you feeling better soon

Big Hugs from here.

Here's wishing you a speedy recovery and fingers crossed, your husband doesn't succumb – if he's anything like mine, he'll have you googling his symptons convinced he's on the brink of death and running around administering every medicine known to mankind…

Do feel better! Have you guys been tested for H1N1? Sounds like the same symptoms. My son just got over it and miraculously my hubby and I escaped – so cross your fingers for yours…

Sorry to hear you're feeling like crap – this is my first visit to your site and I like it! I'll be back.

When you feel better do drop by my site as well.

Cheers

Feeling the pain over here, I've been trumpeting away into the Kleenex since Saturday and am now sporting a lovely 'too many tissues' scabby rash on my nose. Hope you all feel better soon x
