Thankfully, DH and I are both better now but the rest of them are still suffering.

You are not alone kittylester as my own family has had a similar time of it,
It can feel never ending.??☹️

Our local family all seem to have a colds, including us. I am just hoping that it is the same cold and that we do not all go down with each other's colds like a merry-go-round.

Oh dear kittylester hope things improve for Christmas. We've had years like that but so far so good we're all well. Apart from my poor MiL, but that's a long sad story for another day. Get well soon. Lots of fluids and rest.

Oh dear how horrible for you all. That's the trouble with nice families they all stay together and pass the virus around and around then it mutates and comes back again. you might be right about needing a cold snap but I dread it. I hope you can have a lovely Christmas despite all this bad luck . flowers

So far this month the illness tally is

DH - virus
Me - much worse virus grin
DGS1 tonsilitis
DGS2, DGD3 horrid virus
DSiL virus, earache
DD3 virus with sickness
DB & SiL really bad colds/virus
DB virus with middle ear infection
DD1 glandular fever

1 Christmas card with news of chronic leukaemia with numerous infections necessitating hospital stays.
1 vascular dementia
1 Alzheimer's

And, I have yet to see Mum this week.

We could do with a really good cold spell! Though I might regret saying that if someone falls over and breaks something. grin
