Over the last few days I have been in no fit state to do, well, anything really! I am one of these people who doesn't tend to get ill very often, apart from the odd cold or cough, nothing that a lemsip can't fix! The only downfall to this is that when I do come face to face with some form of plague (not literally, ten points for being dramatic) it knocks the wind right out of my sails!
So I decided that since I have been bed ridden for the past few days and haven't even come close to food never mind make-up I would do a survival guide on days when you are that ill, you would genuinely prefer to be at work!
You have got to start the day just right by watching Phil and Holly on This Morning. Who else is going to cheer you up?! Especially when the old body clock doesn't allow you to sleep past your usual wakening time. Plus, watching Jeremey Kyle will automatically make you feel better about yourself - fact!
No sick day is complete without your home comforts. Now this is slightly embarrassing to be unleashing this on you guys but hey, I have no shame! So this is Ted, my lifelong friend, and my sick companion. Another essential is a hot water bottle. Especially if you have a bath and feel the cold straight after, make sure you pop this under your duvet for when you get out.
Get some reading done! Nothing better than reading my favourite magazines and getting ahead on all the latest and upcoming trends. I mean, maybe being able to read them when I am well would be better but you got to pass the hours somehow! Whilst you are reading up on all the latest fashion and beauty products you may as well do a spot of blogging! Get that review up that you have been meaning to write for ages - no time like the present.
I'm not much of an eater when I'm ill but nothing is more comforting (and easy to digest) than soup. Preferably home made but if like me, no one is in your house to play nurse, then a tin will have to do!
Get yourself a companion. Now I know you all met Ted (see above) but there is nothing and no one that will make you feel better than your very own best friend. Mine is Saffi! She usually heads off to work with my Dad but since I have been unwell he brings her home at lunchtime and she snuggles in with me - or, from the photo above, watches tv with me.
Last but not least it's all about just sleeping it off and hopefully within a few days the worst will have passed and you will be back to normal!
This is a slightly random post however, I hope you have enjoyed it as it's a little different to anything else I have done. Hopefully my next one will be more energetic!
