Had one week off
Then went in for a week pumped full of caffeine, paracetamol and ibuprofen
Now I'm off for 2 weeks anyway
but still got it.

Every day I went home sick as a dog wishing I was a permy though.

I think a lot of illness is a reflection of your (un)happiness. ..
I had an autumn cold a couple of months ago, but so mild it was hardly noticeable and only lasted a couple of days.

Is Alf happy ?
If I had a tail - I would wag it.

yup - just had it as did the wife and kids - so I haven't been able to work for a week. Kids on anti-biotics and wife and I trying to get rid of the nasty cough. Really struggled to get to the supermarket for food yesterday (no internet grocery delivery slots left) and the cold aisles were freezing!

I might add that pretty much everyone with a sniffle in my office this year has had "a bit of flu" (but they battle on the brave little warriors).
Their's is the strain that requires a lie in on Saturday morning and a curry on Saturday night to sort out. Plus a bit of coughing and whinging around the office, of course.

Had two colds whilst being benched - nearly always use to come down with something as a permie as soon as I tok a holiday.
Never ever had flu in my life - but I suppose there is always time.

I was in bed all weekend with a temperature floating between 101-105F the whole time. Nice when the bed is so drenched with sweat it takes hours to dry... wife was worried enough at 105F to call the out of hours doctor phoneline.
