Hi, Tracey, oh no! Not the dreaded 'man flu' 😷 Yes good idea about the honey 🍯

Paracetamol, honey & lemon πŸ‹ & he'll be as good as new! Just watch you don't get an infection from him! 😰 Hope he gets well soon

Hope all goes well for you & your family. Keep in touch 🌸

I don't know about an undertaker,Ive heard they cost money ?? He's getting sent to the nearest university as their newest anatomy subject lmao πŸ˜‚.Oh I love banter,Im always scared I take it too far because I have a very dark and sarcastic sense of humour,so if I ever upset anyone,its never meant ☺

Hi Tracey just think of the money you will save on a funereal moms cost Β£3,000 for a basic cremation 3 years ago.

we all love a bit off light banter in hear feel free to join in 😎

I have genuinely left my body to Glasgow university,helping the next generation of Drs was a big reason for choosing that option,but the main reason was I don't trust my hubby to arrange my funeral πŸ˜‰ lmao πŸ˜‚

Hi Tracey typical man. I always say if men were to have babies the world would come to an end. Hope he feels better soon. Hope you are okay too. Just come back from my 2 weekly blood test for the medication I take for my arthritis. Been taken of the Bendroflumethiazide I take for high blood pressure due to my last test showing raised patasium. Hope fully the blood test will be normal. These blood tests are realy strange for a few week they show nothing and then come back showing things not right. Hope you have a good day. Xxx

Hubby is really lovely,so mellow and laid back until he has man-flu,and he turns into a jerk lmao πŸ˜‚.He's lucky I love him,I considered offering him free to a good home lol 😁.

I hope your blood tests come back ok.I hope you're having a great day.

I find that honey lemon WHISKEY and hot water helps a treat. This is a good drink to have just before bed. Helps sleep if nothing else πŸ˜‰πŸ˜΄

Wonder if he'd notice a couple of valium in the toddy and I was just thinking if I give him it at about 6pm,I get peace all night bahahaha πŸ˜‚

Hi

You do realise "man flu" is equivalent to childbirth.

Plenty of rest, honey and whiskey easy on the honey.

Needs to be kept warm and free from any stress.

Light meals served in bed.

And controlling of the remote.

Recovery takes a long time, so has to be eased gently back into his normal routine .

Should be fine by weekend to watch football, and possibly a round of golf.

You women are so lucky at times.πŸ™ˆπŸ™ŠπŸ™Š

Hi

Don't beat your self up, it's a common mistake. A foot massage and the promise of post recovery smoothies and chocolate, will help you hubby get over the trauma.πŸ§πŸŽ‚πŸ«
