I’ve been feeling crap for the last few weeks but this weekend I started to feel infinitely worse. The stuff I was coughing up wouldn’t have looked out of place in a Ghostbusters movie and I feel like I’ve been hit all over with a baseball bat.

The doctor cheerfully said that I’d probably been ‘lucky’ enough to have been suffering a mild form of the swine flu over the last three weeks that had led to a chest infection and prescribed me a course of Amoxicillin. I’m hoping it will make me feel better soon.
