Whether its swine flu, porky flu, or any other variant, I dont know, all I know is that we&#8217;ve both had it since pre Christmas and we just can&#8217;t shift it. I can only speak for myself but its wiped Christmas and New Year out completely in terms of &#8220;enjoying&#8221; &#8211; its been &#8220;enduring&#8221; instead. I bought a Kinect for the XBox as a little pressie to myself and given that you need to be active, I just havent been able to do anything but the odd game of ping pong \ud83d\ude41\u00a0\u00a0 Its my 40th Birthday this time next week and I have no hope whatsoever that it will shift between now and then. People we&#8217;ve spoken to have said anything from 2 to 4 weeks. For Chez its been about 2 weeks, for me its been a day or two less. Ive now got a chest infection and have been coughing up gunk for England.\u00a0 If I could just get rid of my terrible cough, I&#8217;d be happier. Coughing so much you can hardly breathe is not nice.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, Happy New Year to everyone. Its my first blog of the new year. \u00a0I hope within the next few weeks we can get some of the\u00a0wedding photo&#8217;s uploaded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I can now see why people can die from the flu Christmas and new year has been pants.
