Did you catch it from your daughter? I've found I've come down with more bugs since micro started hanging out with other kids - they seem to catch all sorts from each other.

Probably, she's fine though.
Since the middle of December I've only had about a week when I've not been ill with some sort of bug, and the coincides neatly with her starting nursery.

Seems to happen to most parents I know. I'm not looking forward to mine having chicken pox, but I know it's inevitable.

my uncle has genuinely never had a cold in his life
we've just been told he's got cancer. he's flatly refusing to tell his kids or grandkids, as apparently cancer is a sign of weakness or some such bullet headed Yorkshire farmer nonsense.

Aqueous calamine.
I've heard glowing reports of how good it is. Much better than calamine lotion.

that he's practically immune to everything now. Except cancer, obviously. The massive drama queen.

I had that cancer once, couple of paracetamol and an early night and I was back in work again the next day.
