Hi

Been out of whack for 2 days with the dreaded Norovirus.

It's a pig of a virus, but helps prove the statistic that humans are 90% water.

I am now down to about 35%.


So, who else has had it? Is it particularly prevalent in East Dulwich / Peckham at the moment?

Apparently there is a lot of it going around but everyone always says that!

No idea where I got it from - but it is easy to catch even by just touching an infected surface.

Fortunately MrPR has guts of steel and he's been able to look after me.


Aghhhh - quick off to the toi...

Oh dear, poor you *hugs*


My immune system seems to be permanently upregulated as I've never caught this bug, nor do I get colds or flu, despite the fact Mr Minkey gets everything going..


Drink plenty of fluids with rehydration salts if possible, and I hope it passes soon.

Yes, it's all the rage in the Family Room. my little boy had it, then my husband, then both grannies after two separate stays, and lastly me. Luckily was over it (and half a stone lighter for two blissful days) in time to be bridesmaid for my best mate but god it was horrendous, I was pretty much throwing up every hour for 12 hours. Judging by our experience it's highly infectious.

It visited our household about 6 weeks ago, then we kindly passed it on to my family in NZ when we went there on holiday. Oops :-$ The kids and I got it about 5 days before we left (it's a brilliant quick fix diet), Mr Pickle came down with it on a long haul flight. Not nice.

Is that you saying I'm fat? Like I NEED to lose weight?

Clearly we've not met.

it's the staying in/off work for 2 days after symptoms have stopped that's the problem - don't think many people do (have lots of kids coming in who've vomited at night and then said they wanted to go to school the next morning so parents have sent them - only to be having even more D&V by lunchtime!).


Those 2 days are important to check it's properly out of your system and to ensure you're no longer infectious.

I am finally over it. Had it last Wednesday night and although stopped doing the exploding thing by Saturday, it has taken this long to get better although MrPR then got it and reinfected me a bit Saturday.


PLEASE please please if you get it DO NOT GO OUT FOR TWODAY DAYS AFTER YOUR LAST 'EXPLOSION' - IE TWO DAYS AFTER YOU START TO FEEL BETTER.


Because THAT's when you're still infectious. Thank you. Just as well I am not religious because I missed Easter this year!

      I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      I wouldn't feel too bad about that. It's one of the few degree areas that you can do a BA or a BSc in, so it's a fairly wide-ranging and complex subject. Certainly Truss, Kwasi and Reeves seem to struggle with it.

      I can't access the article - what's the gist?  I took the markets getting jittery when she was crying at PMQs to be a sign that they trusted her. But maybe it was because they were simply worried about any form of instability.  The NIC hikes have stymied the economy, which we could all see a mile off. Will a wealth tax improve things? Does anyone here think the trickle down has any impact and that chasing out the super rich will help things? Or are we just seeing off the biggest contributors to the economy? And has the Kwasi approach ever worked anywhere else?  Economics is not my strong point at all, I'd love to know others' opinions, but it seems to be she has few options, especially as the party is so divided.

      does either of them have a surgery? probably not over summer, but I thought they had to give the opportunity for their constituents to meet them.
