Tell me about it.
I was single for 10 years after I flew the nest, I only had a housemate for a few months, 10 years of living solo and working in a climate controlled air-scrubbed office.
Seems it left me wide-open to anything going…
Moved in with Mrs Jay and her (now our) 4 year old – School Germs and Ward germs meant I was sick more then well I’m sure, FF 5-6 years and the Baby came along, started in Pre-School Nursery at 8 months and I swear for the next 18 months to 2 years I was circling the drain most of the time – seriously, I got Pneumonia like some 85 year old lady on her last legs.
Now, I’m pleased to say, 8 years after first moving into the petri-dish that is our home, I just get the usual odd cold, they only last 3 days too, not 3 weeks! Or like the cough I got last winter that lasted 5 MONTHS!
