Re: So who's got it, had it or doesn't ..... flu
Mardarse is such a great word and so apt. I couldn't agree more with Barnsleymatt and whilst I am sure it has a lot to do with living conditions, I have never known such a bunch of wimps when it comes to any sign of slightest illness. The fuss that gets made for the most minor ails is beyond belief.

Re: So who's got it, had it or doesn't ..... flu
Thanks for the messages everyone. Well we've both bounced back so it seems to be a 3 week lurgy.
Bevs, sorry I didn't know about hubby. Really hope he comes right. You're spot on with the pay thing though. Oh is 1 & half months short of eligibilty for sick pay. Yeah right ..... just keep bringing it on.
Kiwis & health issues. I think you're right about the housing thing but I've noted that bugs,bacteria etc thrive here. I plant anything & it grows at twice the speed it did in the UK, get a scratch & it infects almost immediately.
Stay well all.

I agree. My Gran often says "what we need is a good hard frost to kill off all these bugs" and my Gran knows everything
