Janty Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I went in to work today after being off all week with this cold/flu thing. I did think that I was ok but the minute the cold air got me this morning I couldn't stop coughing to the point where I felt that I couldn't breathe. Anyway, long story but I ended up being sent home again. My husband has also got the start of this and son is also showing signs that he has caught the bug. My friend came to me today at work and said not to take it the wrong way but could it be something that we had picked up off the chickens? I couldn't stop laughing which made the coughing worse.

Fizzle Knit Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 There are a lot of bugs going round at the moment - obviously EVERYONE is turning into chicken owners. Tell your friend the chickens didn't give it to you but you are very concerned about passing your germs onto them so you'll be tucking them up in bed tonight with a lemsip and tot of brandy, and a hot water bottle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phonix Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Are some people just born on a different planet or spend their whole lives walking around with their head in the clouds???! I would have had to ask where she gets her illnesses from as obviously she doesn't have chickens!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
