When Colds Come Back.

Chris Evans | 11:55 UK time, Tuesday, 7 December 2010

Cold arrived Saturday morning - unannounced. Cheeky blighter. It bedded in and took up residence in my head the whole of Sunday. No take away curry that evening - that is serious my friends.

Yesterday the cold acts like its had enough of me, and is moving out of town. Ha ha! I think - just a 24 hour job then. And then whaddya know, it's back bigger and snottier than ever, and refusing to budge.

My nostrils feel like blocked drainpipes and my eyes look like they've been scrubbed with a raw onion. As for my nose, how come something as soft as tissue can have the abrasive effect of a sanding machine ?

Day Nurse!!!

See you tomorrow and for heaven sakes - load yourself up with any Pharmaceutical shield that will stop you getting rained on by this particular germ cloud. S'not worth it.

    Poor Christoph - Are you sure it's not Man Flu...LOL.

    Seriously though, I hope you are back fighting fit very soon. Perhaps you need another day in bed?

    Afternoon,

    Quick one again, if only because my fingers are so cold, typing hurts!

    CLP - you should have taken the curry route. Go up a couple of heat settings on your normal choice and sweat the thing out of you. Works wonders.

    P.S. What's behind the Advent Calendar door today?

    Steeleye Span.

    Poor you CLP, I know exactly how you feel, I had the same thing last week, it's horrid!

    Sorry to hear that Big Fella,

    My one tip - Kleenex tissues with Balm (I think).
    They really work and stop the agony that comes with repeatedly wiping your schnozz.

    Hope it clears up asap.

    Inc, I advised CLP just that very same thing on Sunday evening via the medium of Tweeta! I said go for a Vinda and blast the blighter germs away from ya heed.

    And Steelye Span in an Advent Calendar? Are you sure guv'nor?! They may be All Around My Hat but in an Advent Calendar ...........?

    AliB - if I had a pound for every time Rips has posted the "Trust me, I'm a ducter" line I'd have about £3.46 by now (the .46 stems from a long-gone FNWC when he got as far as the "trust me I'm" and then disappeared into the ether after too much Peroni!

    Rips- ya know ya luvs me! x

    My boss is full of cold at the mo. She's out on site visits today and was planning on coming back to the office this afternoon. I've advised her to get the visits done and go home, find a duvet and stay under it. We did the care and concern route but in the end I showed my true colours and said I don't want to catch her germs as I've got a lot on next week and can't afford to be poorly ick in the run-up to (or over) Christmas.

    Yes, I'm all heart, me!

    Ah, but as you said, Christoff, you dinnae sound even half as bad as Steve Wright!! Hope you have stocked up on all the medication you can throw down your throat! I even ended up getting Voltarol (other painkillers are available) for hubby which meant between that, paracetemol & ibuprofen meant he could take something every couple of hours!

    And I'm telling you laddie ... a quality toddy at bedtime! Trust me, I'm a Highlander!! ;)

    Stay warm and get well soon, Blogmeister!

    Having a down day today so probably won't make it back to catch up with you loverly bloggers and blogettes. Have asked Beesmum to give Eilidh Beth HUMOUNGOUS hugs from me, but missing Eilidh so badly today. Thank you again for your amazing love, care and support you amazing bloggers and blogettes. xx

  • Comment number 10.

    I either spoke to soon or one of you knew I'd get sick.

    I went to bed last night with a sore throat but thought it would clear. I got up this morning I looked like death warmed up and my throat was killing me. Got straight back in bed and texted my manager - no chance of me working today. I wouldn't be able to speak to anyone.

    So then I slept for 3 hours so now I am commenting here from my sick bed. Which of you cursed me lol.

  • Comment number 11.

    Deevs - if I ever start my own company, I'll call it Unc. Inc. Thanks for the tip!

    Talking of tips...I can no longer feel the ones on the end of the fingers of my left hand and the right one is catching it apace. Where's a Ducter when you need one?

  • Comment number 14.

    Hello Chris.

    I agree with Uncle_Carl Chris.

    I read on your twitter page that you could hardly stay in bed all day and then get up and have your Sunday curry. But that's exactly what you should have done. I had a curry last night and it cleared my nostrils so much that I thought of you.

    As well as curry every night you must keep warm at all times (maybe a drop of brandy) and no snowball fights or tobogganing.

    Hot baths too (now that your boiler's AOK)

    If after all this the cold continues see a doctor for some antibiotics (given as a last resort)

    Baggy, I've been a bit down too (as posted on previous blog earlier this morning). I hope you perk up soon - any idea why you feel like you do? I know exactly what my "issues" are, so I working to address them - lovely long chat with my best friend this morning when I was alone in the office really helped!

    And I pity Nic for having to put up with me at the moment to be honest.

    As for Angles, I don't own it either. But I can email you an MP3 of Angels instead! ;-)

    Hey SuperBeep.....

    I'm struggling through, keeping my chins up and letting the busterds get me down - or something like that.

    Not good to hear that you're feeling down. Best of luck with whatever is happening.
    Really hope it's nothing to do with the job - how's that going?
    I might be a little more office bound in the run up to Christmas, so, just because London Breakfasts are out of the picture. I am quite close by and could do a rural one.
    Take care x

    Hello ,

    Deevs, sorry , i seem to have gone all random in my advent guessing this year.
    Right, I shall concentrate from now on in and try and guess daily.
    Could we have an update on what has come up so far please , i dont seem to own a memory at the moment either. Sorry to be such high maintenance ;-)
    So, todays guess is a crib , or if we have had that already, I will go for the empire state building .

    Chin up and best wellie forward.

  • Comment number 24.

    Rips - jobs okay but apparently I don't fit personality wise so I will probably be unemployed again by March, so I'm making the most of it while it lasts.

    Rural breakfast sounds ideal, let me know when/where. I'm close to jnt 3 of the M40 location wise for work at the moment ;-)

  • Comment number 25.

    Rips - I took your advice and now I can't feel my hands at all. I also have a nosebleed as a result of my nose being the only available means of typing this response....

    Right. I'll try ....

    Day 2 - Cracker
    Day 3 - Toy Boat
    Day 4 - An Angel (for Baggy!)
    Day 5 - Sprig of Holly
    Day 6 - A Pudding

    Thus far, we've had one winner, in the shape of the lovely Roo who got Pudding yesterday.

    Baggy,

    Hope your job situation resolves itself next year . I have had my very first mince pie today. Not that keen on them to be honest. Have lost count of the number of selection boxes I have "trialled"

    I am sorry, but my knowledge of music is dreadful, so i will dip out on trying to come up with anything.

    Right, off to try and tick a few things off the list .

    Take care y'all.

    Baggy - I know a lovely little food wagon in the lay-by there. I'll stop off at Ikea and pick up a couple of 'Daves' and we can sit on the kerb and share a Belly Buster!

    March is a long way away, get hunting! x

    Unc - The carers have been told not to leave you alone in that cell. For numb hands - I do have some advice, but it's not for here. For the nosebleed - see #4.

    Do any of you know how hard it is to work out how to do a '#' on a Mac keyboard? Why hide it? Don't our old colonial cousins use it?

    MC - I thought of you a moment ago (and no, I wasn't following a bus) I went to the petrol station and was asked if I'd 'like to buy a chocolate bar'? To be honest - I'd have thought that the fact that I didn't present her with a chocolate bar and say 'I'd like to pay for this please', would have been enough of a clue.....anyway....my thought was, have you ever got out of a petrol station without a giant Galaxy bar? You are their target customer!

    Afternoon CLP and bloggers from the frozen north,

    Deevs, my guess for today is a Christmas fairy.

    A different day at work today, we didn't open to the public this morning, so sspent the time in the staff room drinking coffee, then a briefing from the big boss man with wine and canapés and a bit of work in the afternoon.

    Flipping cold in Edinburgh tonight, though the winter wonderland was looking really pretty while I was waiting for the bus.


    Hope you're feeling better today CLP, I didn't hear too much of the show this morning as I was checking the status of the buses and venturing out. Hopefully will hear more tomorrow!

    Basically I have an advent calendar here at ChezNic. Every day bloggers who feel the need post their guess on here as to what's hiding behind the window for that particular day. All day I dip in and out of Blogville, noting the guesses along the way. When I get home, usually about 6ish, I reveal all. And then tell you all what's behind the window and who's won.

    Simples!

    Feel free to join in - the more the merrier. There's no prizes, just the chance to make others smile. Guesses range from the sublime (Nic's bulldog chewing a wasp) to the ridiculous (Unc's Steelye Span!) and we even have sensible guesses too ..... pudding, candle, drum, star - you know the kind of thing.

    And no, it's not a chocolate Advent Calendar as I so disagree with those. Just wrong. Especially Barbie/Man Utd/Hannah Montana etc.

    Hope that helps.

    Evening each

    Chris, that seems to be the way of the lurgy these days - it goes, it comes back and the cough seems to stay for ever.

    Have had little boys today as their parents abandoned them in the snow to go to work. Other parents dug out the school so, much to the boys disgust, it's open tomorrow.

    The icicles on our houses are spectacular - I'm being careful not to stand underneath them.

    Saw pictures in The Scotsman this morning of poor people stuck on the M8 for ten hours!! My first thought was - what did they do if they needed a wee? Sorry.

    Bids, not finished my Christmas shopping yet - think it'll be the wellies and a bus into Dunfermline with a list. Yes, getting worried about heating bills.

    Just offered to hold the coats for Chris and Alan Sugar on Twitter. Chris has thrown down the gauntlet.

    Annie, I'm with you on worrying about the heating bill.

    I did my best to keep the heating off until November, but by golly, my house is so cold.

    I've tried the extra layers, but the old hooter gets cold and it chills you to the bone from therein.

    I have just bought two more halogen heaters and if it means less on the table at Christmas etc.. so be it!

    We survived without crackers last year, in fact, becuase of the lack of them, everyone got to eat their dinner while it was still hot!

    If I get a new table, I will call it Mabel.

    I like the idea of being on first name terms with your furniture.

    Oh, it's a bit frantic in the footie for us Spurs fans, including Lord Sugar!

    Baggy and KandsK, I'm not doing anything Christmassy here at all, I'm going to my Mum's and not coming back until after New Year! He's sulking, but he makes his bed and he has to lie in it!

    Am also refusing all Christmas lunches, evenings etc...just cba!

    Mind you, there's one I will go to, just a few folks...I'll be able to run us all down in my new car! :)

    Hi Bids,

    No, just the living room and a few bits on the mantlepiece in the kitchen.
    I am planning on going up in the loft on the 18th Dec, if you dont hear from me after then ...............

    JG, running your friends down ??? yikes , are you still coming round on Saturday, I think i may be busy !! LOL

    This morning, I had real problems setting the burglar alarm,it just wouldnt work and it took me a few minutes until the penny dropped.
    Mr Mc went out at 5.45am , and by the time i was leaving it was 8.00am.
    The front door had been open all that time , and that was why it wouldnt set. Either we live in a very safe neighbour hood, or we dont have anything worth stealing. Gave him a little lecture tonight, as i was slighly unnerved at the thought I was in bed asleep . He seemed to be more concerned about the telly and his dvd player.

    Hello and I know I'm the most distant spasmodic blogger nowadays,

    I hope you are all well and coping with the elements, -8 degrees as I drove to work this morning! My schools have at least 25 percent absenteism at the moment due to horrible lurgies doing the rounds - this plays havoc with the Christmas productions but the shows must go on.

    Anyhow I hope you don't mind me sharing - teen1 has her Oxford University interview tomorrow morning - all on her own for two days in a scarily Harry Potter-like environment. I am so proud of her.


    Advent guess - a cuddly bacteria.

    JG, its our windows that let us down too.

    MC, was it you that had the wuiper that was missing the windscreen on the passneger side? Mines been doing that today and I have had to keep getting out to scrape the frozen side as I couldnt see where I was going.

    What was the reason for yours, if it was you?

    I too left the back door open, it was frozen shut, but not locked as I discovered this morning, when I tried to unlock it!

    MTF.xx

    Technically that should have been bacterium.

    Sorry Barney. Are you out there?
