    Glad to hear you are solvent again. Not good to hear you have the head cold. Hoping it doesn't last long.

    Sorry to hear you're feeling under the weather again, HH. There seem to be s lot of people around with 'summer' colds at the moment or maybe it's hayfever. Do you think yours might be that seeing as you've been spending a lot of time doing things outdoors? My Mum developed hayfever for the first time when in her late 40s:eek:. Her GP said she was allergic to just one specific type of tree pollen.


    Whatever it is I hope you're on the mend again now:coffee:


    Great news about the overdue payment, HH:T. It must have been a real relief to get it and be able to pay off what you needed to with it. Lets hope anyone else who still owes you anything pays up very soon.

    Hi HHD, I hope you feel better soon. My Mum & sis both have a cold and my Mum says she has never felt worse so I hope it passes soon.

    Thanks Carboot . It's definitely a head cold as I suffer from hayfever and allergic rhinnitis all the year round, so I know the difference between the symptoms :(.

    Thanks Jwil.

    I still feel pretty rough and my nose is sore from constant blowing, but the sore throat has gone. I had to sleep with the tissues in bed with me my nose was so bad :(.
