I'm certain that over the last few days I've heard of so many people being ill I've caught the man flu... the odd thing is I've caught it over the Internet...

Surely as any mother would say the best thing to do is have plenty of fluids and get lots of rest?

Oh and did I miss how the girl taking her driving test yesterday got on? I did my theory test yesterday and passed nicely...

Cheryl the Cheeky Deev x x x x

I have discovered this week that there is something oh so much worse than man-flu.....it's man-bug !!! Blimey you would think he was the first person ever to get a tummy bug. Weak and feeble are understatements!

Before having a baby of my own I used to be dubious of colleagues who were parents that were forever catching colds and bugs from their little darlings (and missing work with it), but yes it has been happening to us. Usually me and hubby get the bug and little man gets away scot free. What's that all about??!! But i suppose I prefer looking after myself in a bug situation than the little man! And of course I never get the bug as bad as hubby ... ;-)

Oh the treats of parenting that are never explained in those ante-natal classes!

Poor CLP et al.

Lots of fluids and plenty of rest is exactly the key to get rid of the lurgy. You can't blame anyone - so many germs in the world - could have got it from anyone, anywhere. Of course if you don't listen to your body and take time away under the duvet you will have to suffer for longer.

Well done tom on passing the theory. GD has her's booked for next week AND her beloved has his tomorrow. Bit of competition going there... fingers crossed for both.

Chris,

Unfortunately, the really bad news about having a cold is, it has to run its course. It's a b*gger, but there you have it!

Some remedies do help though, and I have often mentioned Pulmo Bailley - it worked wonders for me.

Sending hugs ..... from a distance!

Starting to get the lurgy today, can feel it in the back of my throat. Thanks LM!

ARF - anything from the BOSS. Can't get enough of him!

Oh yes, weldone Tom. Good luck for the next part. My eldest failed it last week for driving too slow!

Debbie x

Morning all,

Chris, I'm really not sure I want to see a pic of all your snot encrusted tissues. Normally I have an iron stomach which gets turned at nothing, but nasal candles seem to do the trick. Especially when dripping from a childs nose and they lick it.

Tom, well done on passing the theory. You should soon be on the road and wondering how you managed before you could drive.

I am currently applying careful thought to my ARF. It would appear I have slipped into the 'Summer Songs' list on my ipod - loads of manchester type music so now deliberating and narrowing down as I type.

Laters potatoes,

MW, a!

CLP and family, get well soon, as said already not much can do, but lots of fluid, no dairy and fresh air! (not that London stuff in the centre!)

And pulmo bailey - yeuch, that is the worst smelling, tasting stuff i've ever come across! I actually quite like most medicines but this stuff made me gag! Don't try this at home....

I have heard putting Vick on your feet helps. Don't know how or why but I'm told it works.

I'm still tapping away to rid myself of bad habits.

My ARF choice would be TOTP's Ochestra El Bimbo .... no oh well

Greetings Ter ALL,

Me again.....

CLP - Sorry ter 'ear yer still full of cold!!!!!

If I 'ad a cold people and mentioned it more than once, people would probally tell me ter 'shut up and get over it!!!!!'

Well I say ter yersen CLP.... and what a tell meself..... just keep doing what yer doing!!!!!

As for who iz the reason for the cold..... Am sure Noah will get 'is own back BIG STYLE.... when 'e's older and starts school!!!!!

My ex wazza school teacher and man did she forever keep picking up colds from school!!!!!!!!!!!

Chow!

Folks,

I write this now with a heavy heart and a tear in my eye. It would appear that my loverly Errol and I are not destined to be together.

He has betrayed me in the worst way possible and has made me realise he is not everything I thought he was.

As always, the discovery to his misdemeanour has been accidental and I had no idea what was going on behind my back.

I have just nipped to the windowsill where we have a pile of cds, and there, sat on the top was a cd by Delta Goodrem!

You can imagine my horror and dismay.

MW, a!

Firstly, ARF, The Mighty Quinn by Manfred Mann please.

Secondly, today I have a coff. I did not have a coff yesterday and I don't know where it is from so it must be osmosis from blog or similar.

Thirdly, Mariella, wuz just thinking about you only this morning wundrin where you is, so hallo.

Fourthly, our heaters are still not working. Possible chilly living conditions contributing to coff.

Fifthly, Christophe, you big horrible hairy nasty daddy...you only need to worry about Noah being poorly when the snot turns luminous lime green...this means that your child is radio active...which can only be a good thing eh!

antibodies are cool

In the meantime, if you're picking up germs or similar from icky microphones, get yourself some kills 99.9 per cent of all known spray (other killing liquids available) and do the mike with that afore you use it. With any luck it won't be the .1 that you take home. Obviously with health 'n' safety etc, you'd need to make sure that any electrical equipment is disconnected from a power supply before squirting.

OMG! That is sooooo bad. Didn't know of anyone who had actually bought that CD until now!

So....what consequences are afoot we ask?

X

Ach. Mwa! Had already written my greeting, then have seen your missive...am shocked and horrified and have immediately returned my hat to the deep freeze (again). But I have to arst, wot is a Delta Goodrem?

PP, I think I've got that on a single in the garage.

Delta Goodrem eh. Ah well, I suppose it could be worse. :)

Morning guys and gals, hope you're all chirpy even if you are suffering from el Lurgy.

Well done on passing the driving test Tom; as Mariella says you'll soon be wondering how you managed before you could drive.

And good luck to your GD and her beloved Steffi, 'spect the competitive spirit must be hotting up there!

Debbie - Too slow?! That's a good one. Tell him well done, it's much better than too fast. Hope you get over the lurgy quickly lovely. xx

Smarties - Man-bug is indeed worse, I don't know how they manage but somehow every infection is far far worse in mr Jumpy than it is in me.

Hurrah for our jumpybean, he's fast asleep again. Away with the fairies for 9 hours last night. He must have woken up a few times though, the toys in his cot were all over the place when I finally dragged myself out of bed to say good morning. Suppose I ought to take this opportunity to get dressed. I love Thursday mornings, they are our slobby take-it-easy mornings. Only one a week, so I'm making the most of it!

More later, until it's time to go to work.

Hi ho, hi ho...

xx

jeni and the jumpybean

dreamur: I burst out laughing at your comment! How right you are - it is vile.

I had flu last Christmas and asked my lovely husband to ask the pharmacist for something to save my life. She recommended the old Pulmo. The aforementioned lovely husband didn't bother reading the instructions and gave me two teaspons of the stuff straight from the bottle. I thought my number was up - it should be mixed with water. Still vile, but after just a day of taking it, I realised I would indeed see the new year!

C xx

PS CLP - Like a said yesterdee.....

For a cold - Lots of extra strong mints ter get through the show - no side effects like some lozengers!!!!!!

Or for something a little stronger - Strepsols seem ter work well for me... again with no side effects!!!!

Ave taken some of the mediacted lozengers and they seem tergive me a 'eadache... make me feel a little worse!!!!!!

Also loads of bananas, lucozade and gallons of liquids ter soothe the sroe bits and wash the virus away faster!!!!!

Tea and water the best!!!!!!!!!

'ope this 'elps!!!!!!!

Chow... again!!!!!

PS For my ARF it can only be one choice and only one choice on this occasion......

The band 'EVANS BLUE'..... with their most appropriate tune.... 'CAUGHT A LITE SNEEZE!!!!!!!!!!!'

Very nice tune!!!!!

Or maybe Weezer with their tune.... Dope Nose!!!!!!



BINGO STAR DISCLAIMER... The above commentation isn't mean't ter offend any fellow bloggers... The above commentations come in 'umourous and friendship tones ONLY!!!!!!

DAMN IT.... nearly goot the #22 again!!!!!

PS I hope you are going to recycle all those used tissues Mr Chris.

Oh joy. The manufacturers of our storage heaters have gone into liquidation. Which is the opposite to me as I am turning into solid ice Chez Sett.

Does anyone know how a STMS-330-A should work properly.

I've had storage heaters before, so I have an idea, but nothing I've tried has worked so far. I've asked our new landlady to have a look, but she hasn't had a chance to come by yet, and with the weather turning colder again, I don't think I can bear it.

There are three knobs, one says input, the next says output and the last, comfort. I've put the input up high, the output on 2 and the comfort off...as the time we put the comfort knob in it spend about £4 in 3 hours...there is one switch which goes into the wall, and the light on the switch goes on, so there is power, and the heater has been on too.

Please, does anyone have this sort of heater...

Christophe, even with all the lurgy etc at your house, I'm so jealous of you all being cosy and warm...
love
hazel

The Mighty Quinn...the eskimo...hadn't even thought of that when I asked for my ARF!

Hazel: what a nightmare for you - I cannot bear being cold! I will ask MrS if he has any tips/ideas/instructions. We did have storage heaters, but it was a long time ago, but I will ask the question.

Thinking of you! As I said to you before: apart from slipping on ice, or seeing spiders in the house, being cold is the thing I hate most!!

C xx

Hate to sound like a stuck record, but my advice would have to be get some early nights. Sorry but as soon as I get the sniffles I go to bed as early as poss and usually the cold disappears without a trace!


Helped in school earlier, am just enjoying my guilty pleasure - the latest episode of Mistresses. Are there really people like those women?

Take care guys,

Em xx

Hi ya lovely

Have you tried heating up coca cola in the microwave and drinking that? It's a remedy I always try for colds and it's really good!

Having said that, I don't do colds if I'm quick enough. Usually at the first sign of it I just tell my body that I'm NOT having it, and it retreats with its tail between it's legs to some far off place - possibly London, on a microphone at Radio 2!!!

Sorry chuck, hope you're all feeling better soon. Take care. Jo xx

Hazel_love,
Surely if the heating isnt working your landlady should sort it out (or am I being niave). She should get someone out to fix it.

I did a quick trawl on the net to see if I could find a manaul for your STMS-330-A but no luck.

#27 ..... :-0 Really!!! ????

Right, had a proper chance to read CLP's blog for today and ..... it's put me right orf me smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel!

Maybe you caught your bugs from U2 on Friday evening. In which case my friend, you have The Coolest Cold On The Planet. Official!!

Chris - tis very nice that you do indeed wish we were there, but would it be to share your germy wallowing, or pass you another box of tissues, or watch old b&w moves under a blanket?

Actually, that's not such a bad offer .... !! Kinda beats being in the office all afternoon - even tho I'm gonna be on my own from 3 o'clock ... YES!!!!!!! Bliss!!!!

Might even do some Deev Dancing!

Back later.

Hazel
The link will lead you to PDF, Page 25 would be good starting point.

Hope this helps.

TTT

Afternoon all

Hazel - I have to agree with Thunder - surely under your contract the landlady has to make reasonable efforts to provide you with heating and saying she's not had time to get by just isn't good enough!

For a start aren't all rented properties' heating systems required to be inspected annually for safety and proper functioning? [or is that just if they run on gas?] When was that last done?

My neighbour downstairs lets her flat on 12 month leases and always gets the inspection done before new tenants move in.

My suggestion is that you request her to call round or send someone within 24 hours and say that you'll reduce your rent by 25% for every day you're without heating and see what reaction you get then! It's not as if it is June and lovely warm weather. It was only 2 degrees even in London at 7 this morning.

Good luck.

df

hello there good people of blogland!

sorry for my absence - the evil that is faceache distracted my from here - but I'm back - for now ;-)

Was is not on your show CLP that it was discussed that there are only a certain number of colds in the world (aprox 250) and that's why small kids always have a cold because they haven't been exposed to any before and that by the time your an adult you're less likely to get one as you've built up antibodies. Only if you are exposed to one you've not encountered before do you succumb! GP's can generally tell if there is a newcomer into an area if they and their staff start sniffling!

I've always found hot diluted orange juice and paracetamol to help - Oh and a hot toddy last thing at night. If I remember correctly Highland Lassie has a good recipie.

Quack

Afternoon Each,

Phew, busy morning but on my own this afternoon (what's new) so Diva I might join you in some dancing.

Sorry to hear that you are all still poorly Chris, but if you could stick too pictures of Noah in future rather than your snot rags it would be much appreciated.

Are we having another Tash blog tomorrow? Hope so.

I'll check back later to see if you bloggers are behaving yourselves!

CLP That photo is sooooo gross!! Think of all the germs that are flying off your tissues and going to invade the universe. I tie a carrier bag to my dads zimmer frame so he doesn't do that, maybe you should tie one to your microphone.

Hiyaaa Bingo not saying a word!!!

Oh Dear CLP Looks like the dreaded Man Flu has kicked in good time!

Sometimes the lovely ladies out there just don't understand how we always get much worst colds!!!.... I'm joking

Myself and Mrs RJH Are on the way down to London town on Friday so will unfortunatley miss the show coming to see Dirty Dancing on Fri nite then staying to do the sights etc before homeward bound on Sunday Nite.

If anyone can recommend a couple of good eateries would be most welcomed

Will be listening out for the sniffles this evening and have a good all request friday and a good weekend everyone.

If you like a curry, try Masala Zone - goog 'em - they're all over the place but the one in Covent Garden is fab!

There's also a great pizza place called Fire & Stone - Covent Garden area too.

Can't go far wrong in China Town area if that's your thing ... all local to theatreland.

I also love The Rainforest Cafe - Shaftsbury Ave. Can get a bit noise but a helluva lot of fun!! You may have to book tho, so again, goog 'em.

Try this too ....

Robfaeskye- Brilliant!!

Hi Chris,
Poor you, Natasha & Noah. I have a 3-year-old and a 3-month-old and it's horrible watching a poor little babe suffer with a cold. It can help babies to breath whilst asleep if you prop up the top end of their cots so the baby's head is lightly elevated. I also use an electric 'aromastream' from Neal's Yard and put essential oils on it like lavendar oil and/or eucalyptus and/or Childrens' Olbas Oil. You can also use baby saline drops to unblock a baby's nose if it is really bunged up.

Hope that helps.
Marie x

Hi Chris - Me again!

I didn't mention that I turn on the aromastream in the baby's bedroom whilst they are sleeping.

Marie x

People thinks it's very funny but it's really very runny! No! it's Snot!

Christophe, never mind the saga of the combined nasal cavities en Famille Evans, just be grateful you're not Steve Wright!

As for the ARF: Alien Ant Farm's version of Smooth Criminal. A cover that was better than the original!

Have a great weekend all!

DD out

PS MW,a - There are some crimes that can never be forgiven!

You sound like you have a guilt complex there, Chris... Aren't Babbies more susceptable to colds anyway? Could have just been a walk down the road that gave him it, and then you're both tired, so you caught it too!

Or vice versa...

Mr Evans,

Look on the bright side, if it wasn't for the colds you might have to think a bit for something to write about.

Can't wait for Noah's first tooth myself.

A very norty Mr Spuds

I think Chris mentioned that Foxy is doing a radio show of sorts for a month then she is returning.

Bless you all, and I'm hoping tonight will be warmer, else I'm gonna have to get another cat to put on the bed...

Hello,

Talking about Cockney Rebel though, I prefer their version of "Here Comes the Sun" to the Beatles'.

And I prefer The Pet Shop Boys' versions of "Go West" and "Always on my Mind" to absolutely everyone's.

I didn't realise how much I love the Pet Shop Boys until I bought their "Pop Art" album last year. And I thought they were out of this world on the Brits.

That dog on Suburbia is so talented too, barking in time and all.

PS Hazel, sounds a nightmare, have you got anyone who could lend you one of those oil filled jobbies that you plug in - I don't think they cost much.

I know you shouldn't have to but not being able to get warm is hell on earth, I remember when our boiler broke down. And I'm useless with a cold nose, not worth the time of day.

Sending you warm vibes.

A x

boleyn - i bought Pop Art after the Brits - agree 100%.

When I was an aspiring-to-be music journo in waiting, I rang Smash Hits to see what I needed to do to work for them, and got put thru to a very young, shy, pre-Pet Shop Boy Neil Tennant.

Lovely soft Geordie accent.

About 2 months later, West End Girls was all over the place!

Thing is, at the time, and I remember it well, I wasn't fussed about them either way. I suppose I had other fish to fry and I wasn't particularly into techno stuff.

Now let's see what is this that I have just found stuck firmly in my cheek, ooh it's my tongue.

Chrissie please try not to take yourself, or this blog so seriously.

On the other hand I suppose you may have just been advising me to take advantage of the nice weather and go for a long walk in the country.

Mr Spuds - I like to go awandering.....

Back again..........but not sure I can cope with the idea of wandering love spuds!

Marianne Faithful now playing on SW - that's a nice change.

Still can't think what that brilliant idea for an ARF request was so I'll try another one:

I have just had the confrontation, and it appears the situation is worse than I could have imagined vis a vis the Delta Debaucle.

Errol sold a car stereo at the weekend at a car boot sale, but before selling it he removed said offending item and brought it home.

So, he has been sent packing, with headphones and cd, under destruction to listen to it over and over again at full volume for 24 hours. A bit like what some parents do to their kids when they find them smoking.

We will see what happens from there, but if he still want to keep the cd then thats the end for us.


But I'm keeping the ring!

PS - We're all pushing up the tin can mountain top.

Love Spuds: just forget it. I've tried so many times with you, in all your different disguises. I really won't answer you again, even though no doubt you will show up later with yet another name!

with the fear of being shot out of the sky like soo many of my mallard cousins....................I have a leaning towards Mr Spud opinion albeit not so cutting or insensitive

As one who has no inkling of babies and the grotty and/or cute things they get up to - one reason that faceache has distracted me recently is that I feel i have nothing to say or comment about the recent blogs from CLP.

I realise that this is a BIG..... nae HUGE.... event in Mr Evans' life and at the present time, is all consuming.... I'm willing to accept this and forgive him for his indulgence as long as normal service will resume.

I keep popping back over and lurk and if anything tickles my beak - i'll post! plain and simple

So there you have it - my note for my absence.

Hiya dook - any snow where you are?

And do you have a view on Delta G-gate? I tend to Mariella's side on this one.

I guess I'm with Dook too but just love this ere blog. I don't think many of my recent posts have been baby-orientated coz I don't know nuffin about 'em, not having any n'all.

Of course it's HUGE for Family Evans and if we don't like it, we can all just wander off.

Hi Derby!

Not a hint of snow here ;-( me thinks our local weather men were influenced by the panic of their southern counterparts when they issued the severe weather warning for snow here!!!! Having said that the temperature was at -2 last night and not much above 0 at 10 this morning.

What's this Delta G-gate? - must have missed that one in my skimming!

Just had a "deep" thought..........(that's thought Diva not throat!!!) ................... We must allow Mr. Evans to blog as he feels fit as he is not here for us - we are here for him

Foxy's absence - she's covering a Radio 5 Live money programme for a month. Is the Geordie replacement Hannah the departing pig-keeper from the Archers? I think we should be told.

Blog topics - give the guy a break, it's not as though he came up with nowt in the previous few years is it? Can't wait for Bingo's view!

Freezing now.

tons of meetings today, so won't be around much until later. Just time to post my suggestion for ARF, a real blast from the past...

At the risk of sounding serious, this is the Chris Evans blog. He is going to write about what is happening in his life. When started the Blog, he regularly talked about getting drunk, chatting up the ladies, one or two blogs were a little risque, even!

However, his life has moved on and I really do understand that if you don't have/don't want children, then all the baby chat may not be what you want to read.

Chris has also talked about buying a Ferrari, flying a plane, buying a restaurant -not many of us are going to do that either -but it hasn't stopped us wanting to "chat" to Chris.

I think we should all chill a little. These light afternoons are making some of us a little tetchy! And I include myself in that!

PP - why?

Give Mummy hot drinks of lemon and honey and inhalations if olbas oil ( a few drops in hot water ) and lots cuddles .Rub vaseline around N's nose and sinus's ( and I think baby olbas oil is available ) ONE drop on his sheet and loads of cuddles .

bees- its not the pic as there isn't even a case.

And if it were for the good looks of said songstress then that'd be fine. After all Errol has to compete with Johnny D, and various other male type men of the handsome persuasion.

This from a man that won my affection some moons ago by being a better looking look a like of Jon Bon, smothered in tatts, tight jeans, cowboy boots, long curly girly hair, with a music collection that ranged from soft rock, through to rock, heavy rock, prog rock, death metal and so on.

I feel like I just don't know him anymore....
