Or maybe they're promoting the spirit of friendship... get two bottles so you can give a friend one.

I chose the words very carefully.

*snigger*

I have only filled 2 mugs with tissues today instead of filling a Tesco carrier bag. I guess I'm getting better slowly.

yep, they would be very grapeful of the gift

Was that a standard carrier, or a Bag For Life?

Just the standard one. So far today only blown my nose twice. Things are improving

There's a twitterer called Who Ate All The Pies

you mean pcernie

If you're blowing your nose because your nose is running, then you're causing your nose to run more (try gently pinching and dabbing without blowing). If you're blowing your nose because it's blocked then you should maybe try an inhaler or decongestant tablets.

In short, blowing your nose is a short-term compromise and shouldn't be relied on as a long-term symptom treatment.

I've had the cold / flu virus thing that's been going round but thanks Mr Boots

I am struggling to remember when I last had a cold.

I was last bed-ridden in December 2010.

I have moved in the office. I am now sitting with a bunch of guys who all have kids

That makes a huge difference. It certainly would explain why you have been affected.

If the little rugrats are ill shoot the buggers I say
