Sleeping in the lounge room tonight - man flu has hit!

[BrightSparkles]

DH's work has had so many people off this last few weeks with the flu - that really bad one. DH came home tonight saying he feels really unwell, has a sore throat etc. The whole man flu thing. I'm still trying to get over shingles and have just gotten rid of a hige throat infection, the last thing I need while immune system is so low is the flu! I have been hammering the multivitamins, making sure we are eating LOTS of good fruit and veg etc but i'm not taking the risk.
I've decided until his better, im sleeping in the lounge room. I CANNOT get sick again! 2 weeks off work was enough for me!

PS - Man flu sux whinge ! They think they are dying! Geez mate, I have managed an ear infection, shingles and a throat infection in the last 7 weeks, however I still got up and got the kids ready for you to take to daycare, i still organised dinner (albeit easy but i did it), I did the washing (even if it did pile up for a while). Drink some cement and harden up!
