sorry to hear that Stoney - I hope your hubby is making a suitable fuss of you!
I always like an audio book if I'm ill - it takes all the hassle out of page turning... |

Hi Stones
Take honey with your tea. Drink lukewarm water.
You can also try ginger/cardamom seeds dried and crushed with Arabic coffee. If you're in London then you can pop in one of the shops in Edgeware Road for some Yemeni coffee [ask them with the one with cardamom]. Truly wonderful, especially if you're a fan very strong coffee.
Wish a quick recovery

Good tips Ash, I've been putting honey in hot orange juice. I can't drink caffeine so no coffee for me!
Thanks for all the well wishes, I'm feeling much better today, I may even go outside and enjoy the sun tomorrow.
Still being sick but I think that's the morning sickness poking it's nose in. My throat doesn't hurt anywhere near as much as yesterday but it sounds well rough which is great for sympathy! |

an ex's mum used to make something with honey, i think it was with lemon and whiskey, i think it might have been served heated up
i've always found lemsip extra strength and copious amounts of weed works wonders |

| Yeah it's a shame you can't drink whisky at the moment that always works for me. whisky, honey a couple of cloves and hot water. Don't be bringing any of those germs with you at the weekend! |
