Since the new year I've had a terrible cold and chesty cough, it comes and goes but is taking it's toll on my chest, back and ribs. It goes for about 4/5 days and I think YEH it's finally gone and then it's back again. I've been to the doctors and he said everythings fine, it's just taking me longer to get over it. Tell that to my body, then my Sinusis like to join in here and there too, they definately don't want to be left out. So you see after a day of coughing sniffling and taking cold remedies, i'm tired on an evening and can't keep up with my blogging. So please bear with me and hopefully things will return to normal real soon.
