Kezzie posted the other day about how colds always show up at the wrong time – in her case it was losing her voice just when she needs it to sing. For me, it’s a horrible sneezy cold just when I a) have to fly (and I don’t want to be that person on the plane!) and b) am being a bridesmaid for my sister on Saturday. I also have to go into the office in Germany tomorrow (for the final time this year), which means waking up way too early to catch a train. Bleurgh. Currently I am wrapping up warm, dosing myself up with Lemsip, consuming as many hot drinks as I can and tonight’s dinner will be soup. If anyone has any other tips for a fast cure please send them my way (unless your tip is echichnea – or however you spell it – since I have no idea where I would even look for that here!). This cold has precisely two days to do one!

Oooh hope you improve. Bad timing indeed! Good luck and enjoy the wedding. Expect you will feel much better by Sunday. Xx
Thank you x
Oh no. Wishing you a speedy recovery. It’s certainly no fun. Try a hot steamy shower to clear out your sinuses or my grandma’s go to remedy – a bowl with hot, steaming water, add Vick’s Vapo Rub, Hang your head over it and cover yourself and the bowl with a towel so you have a nice steamy tent. It’ll get ALL of the gunk out. Gute Besserung!!!
Thanks. I had a very steamy shower this morning 🙂
A tip for next time: when you feel the slightest titch of a cold starting, start taking Esberitox (find it at the Apotheke). Take it as often as you can until you feel normal again. It’s a natural remedy, and maybe it’s poppycock, but it works for my husband and me! Our colds are shorter or go away before they even start. But in the end of course, the best thing is sleep.
Gute Besserung!
If only my body had done me the favour of giving an early warning! I woke up yesterday with a full-blown cold having only *maybe* had a slightly scratchy throat on Sunday evening!
Another one bites the dust. Get well soon!
Thank you.
oh no, that is bad timing! The best cure is normally rest but I know you won’t have much of that the next few days by the sounds of things! If you have a sore throat then I recommend boiling some water, adding it to orange juice and drinking with lots of honey. Hope you feel better soon
Yes, normally rest would be my first thought but with an early start tomorrow and the flight on Thursday evening there isn’t much time! Definitely getting an early night tonight though.
GET BETTER SOON!!!!!
Thanks lovely. I survived the wedding and am mostly better now.
