{Health Warning: Not for those readers with a weak constitution...}
I am flogging myself for not blogging so far this week... I have a STINKING COLD. I dare say it is as close to "Man Flu" as a woman can legitimately get. It has knocked me for six, and my nose is literally {and this is gross detail} peeling red raw from the amount of blowing... I am not one to lay in bed suffering - I prefer to get out of bed and share the suffering with everyone... share the love, the snot and the scrunched up bits of tissues. Very pleasant ;)
It has spurred me to bake my Christmas Cake (a tradition I started when in labour with my number 2 son who just celebrated his birthday.) My grandmother always arrived with her Christmas Cake in all it's *rock hard icing* glory. It was one of my favourite traditions... the first slice always going to the big cheese (Father Christmas) on Christmas Eve...!! So I dived into Nigella's Christmas and have baked both her traditional and that *to die for* fruit cake. I will let you know which one rocks my boat... as I am probably going to eat the whole cake, as my ungrateful family do not share my love of all things Christmas pud, cake and raisin laden.... (granted there ARE prunes in one of these ;)*licks lips... and then realises they are chapped...ouch*

This cold thing knocks you off your feet and seems to last longer than the NORMAL cold.
My friend has had it 2 and a bit weeks now and is feeling yuk... sO PLEASED you can relate to the man cold because all the men who suffer with that cold say it is really bad!!!
Of course I wouldn't know myself as I am a mere female. hahaha.
