Default The plus side of being ill!

Come down with this sickness bug that seems to be going around at the moment, feel like crap but still off to work. Haven't slept all night and spent the most of it talking to God on the Big White telephone in the bathroom, but on the upside, I weighed myself this morning, and for the first time in 3 years, I'm finally under 12 stone and I didn't have to eat bloody rabbit food to do it!!

Here's for a few well earnt beers and a curry when I'm feeling a tad better!

Norovirus i think. Lasts around 24 to 48 hours and you dont know which end is more important to pay attention to while its got you.
Kid bro had it around 2 weeks ago, he went every colour of the spectrum....lmao.
Apparently picked up from surfaces contaminated by poo; ie, folks not washing their hands after coming out the trap.
Nasty virus tho thankfully short lived.
Best wishes on the weight loss programme coxy.

You always said you could polish a turd to make it shine... You're not supposed to try...

Seriously Coxy, hope you feel better soon mate, staring down the toilet basin and 2am are never good combinations.

come and grab a cuppa on yer way through! Probably guarantee to give you a dose if you're here for more than 5 minutes!

chuffed. Down to 11st 13 1/2! (damn, I sound like a woman!!). Been hovvering around the 12st 5 for 5 months.

I suppose I could give up food and beer and Old Curiosity sweets but how boring would that be!

well, just to confirm after a Lamb Bhoona and a couple of pints of Guinness, all is well and I've firing on all 4's again!

Stupid saying really firing on a fours! Must have been before 5 pots were invented!
