    get some berocca into you! or failing that some high strength VitC.

    i swear by berocca at the first sniff of a cold. if you catch it early enough it seems to get rid of the cold before it takes hold.

    if its too late enjoy some hot toddies!

    yep you can get it off the shelf in Asda. I use the ones that dissolve in a pint of water. They actually taste really nice too! I would have one this afternoon then another before your bed to give you a boost, then one every morning until all the sniffles have left your household.

    or to be extra safe keep taking it till after your wedding!

    Could try boiled lemonade, a slice of lemon and a spoon of honey. Take with paracetamol every couple of hours and I swear you´ll feel better. It´s my nana´s cold cure and it´s amazing.

    And Tyrozets for a sore throat. Numbs it so it doesn´t hurt anymore, they usually give them to kids with new braces for the mouth welts but they work like magic on a sore throat :)x

    Get a long and deep sleep 2nite! Night nurse will dry up the sniffles and will give your body time to start mending itself!
    A hot bath, menthol breathing i.e. head over bowl with a towel and barocca. I regularly have to fight the germs of primary school children! x

    right this is gonna sound grosse, but the best way to get rid of snot is in a hot shower!
    if you hold your nostrils closed with your fingers and blow hard, it should shift most of it down. then its just a case of blowing hard to get it out of your nose and down the plughole! I find blowing whilst closing and opening nostrils with the fingers does the trick.
    Or do the old footballer trick and hold one nostril closed and blow like buggary through the other one. Just watch it dont land on your taps! lol

    it works tho!! makes the head feel a lot less bunged up and yucky. And stops the need for a hanky. That coupled with some sudafed and Goff will be fine. And probably in for the night of her life taking all that meds along with alcohol! lol
