Best Laid Plans .........

I was supposed to be meeting a friend for a girlie chat and a browse round the shops and really looking forward to a lovely day. It was not to be, as I woke up with a raging sore throat and a temperature and had to take to my bed instead.

Where does all this liquid come from that trickles down your throat as you lie there feeling sorry for yourself? Have had to resort to the dreaded lemon drink in the hope of drying it up. Lozenges only help for the time you are sucking them.

Has anybody got any better ways to deal with a cold?
