Hi

Been out of whack for 2 days with the dreaded Norovirus.

It's a pig of a virus, but helps prove the statistic that humans are 90% water.

I am now down to about 35%.


So, who else has had it? Is it particularly prevalent in East Dulwich / Peckham at the moment?

Apparently there is a lot of it going around but everyone always says that!

No idea where I got it from - but it is easy to catch even by just touching an infected surface.

Fortunately MrPR has guts of steel and he's been able to look after me.


Aghhhh - quick off to the toi...

Oh dear, poor you *hugs*


My immune system seems to be permanently upregulated as I've never caught this bug, nor do I get colds or flu, despite the fact Mr Minkey gets everything going..


Drink plenty of fluids with rehydration salts if possible, and I hope it passes soon.

Yes, it's all the rage in the Family Room. my little boy had it, then my husband, then both grannies after two separate stays, and lastly me. Luckily was over it (and half a stone lighter for two blissful days) in time to be bridesmaid for my best mate but god it was horrendous, I was pretty much throwing up every hour for 12 hours. Judging by our experience it's highly infectious.

It visited our household about 6 weeks ago, then we kindly passed it on to my family in NZ when we went there on holiday. Oops :-$ The kids and I got it about 5 days before we left (it's a brilliant quick fix diet), Mr Pickle came down with it on a long haul flight. Not nice.

Is that you saying I'm fat? Like I NEED to lose weight?

Clearly we've not met.

it's the staying in/off work for 2 days after symptoms have stopped that's the problem - don't think many people do (have lots of kids coming in who've vomited at night and then said they wanted to go to school the next morning so parents have sent them - only to be having even more D&V by lunchtime!).


Those 2 days are important to check it's properly out of your system and to ensure you're no longer infectious.

I am finally over it. Had it last Wednesday night and although stopped doing the exploding thing by Saturday, it has taken this long to get better although MrPR then got it and reinfected me a bit Saturday.


PLEASE please please if you get it DO NOT GO OUT FOR TWODAY DAYS AFTER YOUR LAST 'EXPLOSION' - IE TWO DAYS AFTER YOU START TO FEEL BETTER.


Because THAT's when you're still infectious. Thank you. Just as well I am not religious because I missed Easter this year!

      Vispring, I'm not a poet so I don't have enough vocabulary to gush about it, best money I ever spent. Open your wallet, they say you spend a third of your life rafting on it (probably more these days with Netflix).

      Holland & Barrett is coming to Lordship Lane

      By jazzer · Posted

      Time will tell if H&B are loved or loathed, the footfall they get and generate will determine if they stay or go. That's the nature of businesses, they come and go dependant on usage. Examples are M&S, Poundland Local, Co-op, Superdrug, Mons, the chain restaurant/takeaways, the chain Estate Agents, Toolstation, Screwfix to name a few.  As much as people would like to see Lordship Lane remain a high street of independents, it is becoming clear that due to Landlords hiking rents, some are unable to survive. This leaves empty units which some of the chain brands considering it to be worth a "punt". I'd have thought that businesses operating in shops is a better alternative than a high street with multiple empty units, but what do I know, they are just thoughts on the subject.   Take a look at Croydon and Bromley where what were once thriving high streets are in decline.  I have to say that some of the prices charged by the independents are eye watering, and incomes i'd have thought have to be substantial to afford their prices. Personally I'd love a Lidl to open on what was the site of the Harvester, but I guess that would get shouted down, oh the thought of Lidl in Dulwich. Whatever next.

      IMO, Sealy, the best nights sleep you'll ever have.
