I've been off work for the past couple of days with flu like symptoms (chills, sweats, aches etc..) but this afternoon the first spots have appeared :( Looks like my 22 month old son has given me chicken pox (I thought I'd had it as a kid). Looks like at least a week to 10 days out of work (and I'm a contractor - so no pay).

 

Just had a call from my dad - my uncle collapsed with a heart attack whilst shopping in Bournemouth today and couldn't be resuscitated :(

 

Day can't get any worse can it?

 

Steve :(

Feckin hell, so sorry to hear Steve!

 

Hope you recover quickly and condolences for your uncle :(

 

Isaac.

Sorry to hear your news.

 

Don't scratch your spots whatever you do - they can leave horrible scars if you do. I was 22 when I had chickenpox - it ain't nice at any age, but it's worse the older you are.

:shock: not good on both counts mate..:(

fookin ell bud, sorry to hear that

Thanks for the replies guys - appreciated!

it ain't nice at any age, but it's worse the older you are.

Thanks again guys - your replies have cheered me up (despite my face turning into the Elephant Man's overnight :( )

Sorry to hear that news mate.

 

Re: chicken pox - you will have to sellotape oven mits to your hands to stop scratching !!

That's terrible news mate, really feel for you. My uncle only has a few days left before cancer takes him :(
