I appear to have dry skin on my right hand, it looks as if the skin is splitting. I'm not sure this is a good look and it's making me look like I have inherited someone's granny hand. Actually, being left body parts in a will would just be weird. 
I have been ill since last Wednesday evening/Thursday morning. I noticed I had a sore throat and thought it was probably just a bit dry so I ignored it, then I started to get a fever and it gradually got worse. I must have looked so ill in Marks & Spencer that the boy on the checkout offered me water. I was freezing so not sure that would have helped! It got to Monday and there was still no sign of it going so I got out a torch and looked at the back of my throat, I was then greeted with white stuff in my tonsils and on further inspection it was all down he back of my throat. I decided to phone and ask for an appointment in the doctor's because I could no longer cope with being dosed up on paracetamol and ibuprofen, this being the only way I could swallow anything, even drinking was like eating glass. I was given antibiotics and although my throat is still vile, I can at least swallow now.
