It's raining and dark outside, I have a cold coming and I feel horrible. Anyone got any cold cures? Or just generally cheer me up? Thanks people!

sorry no cures for colds however i find following these few rules makes me feel a lot better 1 make sure every one knows your ill (suffering in silence gets you nowhere ) 2 never say you've got a cold its flu at least (pleurisy or pneumonia are even better)3 get a nice warm quilt or a cuddly blanket and stretch out on the sofa (never go to your room they forget about you) 4 get whoever is there to stock you up with lots of nice drinks and tasty little nibbles 5 have a bit of fun (wait while who is with you goes up stairs start banging loudly on the floor with a shoe or something handy when they come running say in your smallest voice i don't want to be any trouble but can you pass me the remote when its next to you (best if they just got in the bath ) 6 last it out as long as you can get away with it

bless you, the common cold, the worst thing in the world. Try and do something to keep your mind occupied. If u feel up to it go out and do something you love. If not then cuddle up on the sofa with a hot drink and your favourite food.
Failing that, phone up an old friend and have a good chin wag. Nothing like a good chat with amate to cheer you up.
Get better soon!

Peppermint Tea with honey (add a shot of spirit if you are so inclined, like brandy)
Curl up on the couch in a nice blanket and watch a movie you've been meaning to see. Hope you feel better soon.

Get some Echinacea from the health food store. You can get it in tea form or lozenges (which I have). It boosts the immune system.
Lemon and honey with a shot of whiskey as well is a good one. Add a slice of lemon with cloves poked in it to the hot drink.
