I had a cold before christmas which lasted about a fortnight. I wasn't too bad while we were away over the holidays but the cold germs must have been waiting in the house for me, for when we got back to Coventry. Not long after we got back my cold started to get worse.
Slowly slowly slowly I started to get better, then yesterday Emma was suffering from a sore throat which seems to be part of a cold which is travelling around Uni - one of her friends from her course has the same thing.
This morning I woke up with the same symptoms I had back in december when my cold first started - painful sinus pressure and a nose which is either blocked or constantly running.
