There were no buses, so I had to pop him on my back and carry him all the way to Asda, which is not local. Then when I got there, the shelves were empty as all the male staff had also gone down with Manflu. I had to restock all the shelves and price and catalogue each item, before stocking up the fridges. When that was done, I realized that they didn't have the lil man's shoe size. So along with my Elf friends, we cobbled into the day and night to come up with some suitable footwear attire. I then had to carry the lil man and the Elves home, as by that time, they too had come down with the man plague and cook them all some chicken broth. But because the chicken I needed was suffering from avian flu, I had to fly all the way to the Isle of Fernando's, where they do a lovely Piri Piri Chicken Masala. Once home, I fed the troops as they were in danger of wasting away, gathered some coal from the mines, cleaned the chimneys and then gave birth to my next door neighbour's child.<br /><br />Hope you feel much better soon Mr Z.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06418601369080683210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808596250801819029.post-57854754012739857542015-01-04T21:15:16.678+00:002015-01-04T21:15:16.678+00:00too am suffering with the dreaded man flu!
Workin... too am suffering with the dreaded man flu! <br />Working with the public means I have to deal with the consequences of other peoples coughs, splutters and sneezes.<br />I am now on my second bottle of foul tasting medicine, 4th packet of tissues and 1023rd packet of lozenges.<br />I have drunk enough lemsips to sink a battleship and hacked up enough phlegm to make it float again.<br /><br />I made the mistake of saying I was feeling a little bit better today and so everyone else has said they are taking the rest of the week off (only just realised it's monday tomorrow! - the cheeky so and so's).<br /><br />If there was such a thing as womens flu I bet we'd get a lot more sympathy!<br /><br />Get well soon Rob.Petehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14381410202609567450noreply@blogger.com
