off to drink another bottle of cough syrup now.
got a slow cooker. made chili, was a bit overcooked despite following the recipe. made a curry which is lovely, the chicken came out really nicely. potato and butterbean soup in there now. ooooo

I've come to the conclusion that cough syrup is neither effective or nice. 4 weeks and its only subsiding now and 3 bottles had zero impact

I had a small bottle of exputex yesterday which did the job for the day, started coming back this evening so it's bronchostop today. there's some sweet thyme and marshmallow flavouring in it. having loads of tea and honey also

I am struck down with a bad cold and a temperature I have to say the one good thing about the drowsy benylin is it knocks me out for a few hours, but don't find it good for my cough/nose.

(also I quite like the taste :eek::o)

Have not trained since Friday and won't see a gym till Weds at least I'd say - ye guys are so hardcore, though part of me feels sweating it out might help.

You make it sound as it it tastes nice. It’s good stuff but probably the worst tasting tack on the market.

As in a DL from the floor and then an RDL from the top as one rep?
