stanski Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 After working just about every weekend since Sept I was looking forward to a week off - so as you know in between turning 41 on Monday I had planned to finally finish off mums back garden - i.e major overhaul - putting a patio area in - some low walls and new flower beds - blimey I'd forgotten how heavy a cement mixer is as i was lifting it into the back of the van yesterday - Anyway get everything ready - sand cement tools etc plug mixer in - nothing? Not a sausage! I try to check wiring - extention cable works the fuse in mixer works - so I procede to take the control box to bits - move the drum by hand etc not jammed or anything - try the switch it works?? Anyway get in the mix - in the mix - in the mix (sorry 80's thing) Afternoon spent getting covered in cement - the base is done - let it set overnight - before I go just do a few odd jobs, get home throat is feeling like inside of Gandies flipflop - shower and settle down to some medicinal red wine to help shift any cement dust from throat and nose - guess what wake up this morning - its lashing it down outside, best bit I have man-flu! I dont beleive it!!!! Why do you always get ill when its on your time not works!! They recon its going to be heavy rain rest of the week - bonus ball! At least I have done an honest days work - proper job! So what do think Man Flu cure- red wine or Paracetamol? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just try and eat right, plenty of omega oils and iron tablets and fresh fruit and exercise. My girlfriend is always ill, but she drinks and eats crap food so maybe something in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually get at least one cold every year and I think I'd be right in saying that that is pretty average for most people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until I was about 24 I never took any pills so for example when I got headaches I used to just lie on my bed until it passed- but then I started to work shifts and that all went to pot - you tried doing a 12 hours night shift with a headache - not fun! I do agree with you though - so its down to lots of fruit and hot drinks to wash it out of my system - working so far but I think my nose is going to fall off soon - if only the Zed could run on mucus!!
