Sorry Spider, will keep on looking - probably outbid by some

Well, thanks for trying, Janet, and for your kind offer, regardless of
how it turned out. I shall keep looking, too. I'm stuck indoors atm
with an horrendous cold and chest infection :~((. If I find St.Geoff's
progs before you do, I will let you know and offer you a viewing, of
course. Unlike you, I read/view things more than once so tend to
hoard,
but a loan for viewing purposes could easily be arranged:~).


You have my sympathy. I'm still getting over the same, it's taken for
ever to go.
It came with a very rough throat for which I gargled with soluble
aspirin as they are an anaesthetic, but found that the original Bechams
powders are even better as a gargle.




Thank you, David. This is my third cold and second chest infection this
year, so I'm really fed up. I missed my Hypochondriacs Anonymous
meeting last month, so you can imagine how rough I feel. Seeing the Doc
tomorrow for antibiotics, but I can't have Penicillin any more so it
should be interesting. I think I'll try the Beechams gargle (my
throat's raw now), but I'm wary of aspirin due to my asthsma. Thanks
for the suggestion. Hope you're feeling a lot better now.

I'd been coughing non-stop night and day for a week until sheer
exhaustion forced me to the gp's surgery. I got prescribed a week's
erethromycin, which has actually made the coughing more painful, but I
now feel there's an end in sight as the airways are clearing. Obviously
what starts as a virus can turn into a bacterial infection, so
antibiotics are always worth a try




Glad to hear you're feeling a bit better. Hope that continues and
you'll soon be bouncing around in the garden. I can hardly wait to
reach that state myself, since sleep deprivation (as with you) has
compounded the misery.
Take care of yourself.


Thanks for the good wishes. I live in hope that an hour's continuous
sleep will soon be possible....:-)
