Happy Monday fellow beautyholics! Hope you’ve had a great weekend.
As you can tell from the title, me, not so much. Yep, I caught the husband’s man flu and it’s all systems down. Here’s the thing, I really thought I’d be strong enough this time not to get it from him because throughout his “pain” (in quotes because really, I think he’s making it worse than it actually really is. I know, I’m a terrible wife for the lack of sympathy), I didn’t feel like I was going to fall sick. Heck, I even wedged a pillow wall between us in bed to avoid him breathing his germs on me! π
Tim’s snoring on the other side of the “wall”
Okay, so that didn’t work and now, I’m the whinger of all things painful (I’m even worse than him when it comes to whinging about the flu/cold). It’s Codral, paracetemol, Berocca, honey, water and rest for me until I fully fight this off. I actually have a post scheduled for today but I’ll save it for tomorrow because I’m chucking a sickie today. *cough* (that’s a real cough, in case you wondered if I was bluffing. *fingers crossed behind my back*)
We’ll be back to our regularly scheduled program tomorrow of all things beauty but for today, tell me. Are you a whinger like me too when you’re sick? As in “oh-woe-is-me-the-sky-is-falling-down-damn-this-flu-I’m-sick-Iwannadieeeeeee“? π
Sigh. When I didn’t see you pop up online, I knew something was up. This sucks. Get better soon. At least get Tim to take the day off and take care of you!
And yes, when I’m sick, I whinge a lot, sleep a lot, read a lot. Mainly whinge. π
If you are up for it. your godfurkid is on Skype today because of the foul morning weather. Rest well xxx

He wanted to take a day off but nah, not necessary. He’ll just hog the computer while I whinge away in the living room π
Surprisingly I don’t whinge too much with colds and things like that- Chris on the other hand, is the worst for man flu >< I think I whinge for cramps and things like that often enough that I can enjoy the rest a cold can bring, lol. Hope you feel better soon!

Hahah thanks Emma. What is it with men and the man flu eh? Heck, us women go through cramps and the like every single month! One little flu and they’re like “ugh I’m going to dieeeeee”. π
Men are always such drama queens when they’re sick, they are always gonna die pretty soon ahaha.
Get well soon, it’s never fun to have the flu π

Ginger coke! What is that miracle concoction and how do you make it? Just cola and lots of kiong? Shred the kiong or slice them?
cook cola with lots of ginger slices! just cook for about 10 mins i think.

Good one! I’ll try it out, thanks for the tip! π x
get well soon tine. must be the weather i guess. when my man gets the flu, he will be comatose in bed as he needs all the sleep he can get to recover. i also got the flu a few months ago and the bed was definitely my best friend π
Thanks V. That’s my problem, I think. I haven’t been resting enough. The blog keeps me very busy and will even be busier the next couple of weeks (you’ll find out soon why!), which is why I’m not getting enough rest π
Hope you get well soon <3
Thanks Sataa x
get well soon dearie!

Feel better, Tine! You are one of the hardest working beauty bloggers I know so a mini break to recover is well-deserved…no, NECESSARY.

Get well soon Tine! And I have to agree with Xin’s ginger coke. It will help =D Or any variety of ginger (lemon ginger too!)
Thanks Sue. I had no idea about this ginger coke business. I sure am out of it, I tell ya.
Oh, get well Tine! I’m the opposite when I’m sick π I push myself to get up and do something so that I will get better, hihi….
Thanks Issa. I’m such a sook that prefers to climb into bed and never get out π
