Another Damn Cold I woke up in bed, spluttering and coughing everywhere. My mum walked in "Oh god, not again." I frowned and she went to get me some calpol from the bathroom. I loved calpol, every kid on earth loved calpol! People take calpol when they aren't even ill, it tastes so nice! I swallowed my two spoons of calpol, sneaking another spoon, tasty. Mum got ready for work and I stayed in bed, coughing and sneezing, a huge box of tissues on my lap. Used, snotty tissues all flung around the room, it was gross. Everywhere you stepped, a snotty tissue stuck to your foot, it was like a game trying not to step on one. When mum was gone, I trudged downstairs, grabbed all the food I could and trudged back up again. I was ready to start my day of sleep, eat, and watch TV. It's good being ill during school!
