I wouldn't mind if they were serious or interesting ailments, like a prolapsed spine, but I currently have no less than three people with a cold keeping me updated on how ill they are. So very ill. There's also one headache and a possible food poisoning victim. And someone on there has a poorly child that I have to know all about as well.

I'm also starting to get a slightly sore throat.
Snotwatch Threat level is AMBER.
