Oh bugger mate, I hope you survive and beter yo take them mints ol son. Must say I have often felt this flu and understand that it is a bitch, but I suffer another, even more stressful illness, guilt. Everytime I think about not going to work I start suffering from guilt and has to drag my ass off to work to earn my keep which rids me of the guilt and I immediately feel better. Must try the mints though. Sounds like a good idea.
