Sorry you're not feeling well, Sam. Nothing worse than being stuck in your sick-bed when everyone else is in "holiday mode".

Personally, I find hot lemon laced with honey much more beneficial for a sore throat than orange juice, BTW!

I was lucky when my daughter was at Uni b/c she was able to commute from home, so I can imagine how miserable you must be feeling

So, here's a "mom" (((((((HUG)))))))) from the West to try and cheer you up a bit.
