Winter bugs are here already :(
« on: May 01, 2012, 01:01:01 pm »
My lot are going down like flies her at the moment. First DS 16 had 3 days off work last week with a flu bug. today I had a call from the school to pick up DS 14 as he was sick. Then DD 8 come home with a sore throat and temp after school. then would you believe it DD 12 is now sick.
DS 5 is ok but he is playing on the fact that he dosnt want to go to school tomorrow if everyone else is going to be home.

I am definitely not feeling 100% either but I'm ok.

Oh the fun of germs flying about everywhere. Joy :)

Yes was thinking soup would be a good idea, goes down easier with sore throats and can add heaps of veggies in to give them a boost.

Better Homes & Gardens Dede.  You will find it in the drinks section.  I'm on the iPad at the moment and haven't learnt links yet. Every winter this one comes in handy.

We have a honey factory here in Perth that has a huge variety of different honeys. Maybe I should go down there and buy up big ;D
