Newsflash - Christmas Eve is now at my house.
Sinuses are so bad that I have two wet tissues stuck up my nose, am doing steam baths (in between sips of red vino, pronbably counter productive but hey ho) and applying hot cloths to the shnozz.
Gutted to have missed the party but am trailing mucky mucus everywhere, so better to stay in.
Just twigged as to what might have made it bad lately - the flooding! Ding, it seriously was a eureka moment :d'oh: - only half the laminate in the bedroom has been lifted up and the remaining floorboards are still sopping underneath. Probably going to sleep on the couch tonight, see if it's better in the morning.
