Are you working in the week? You could play it all week saying you feel like you're coming down with something, then the day before the day you want off you could get sent home :wink:

No one questions you when you say you have the ****s
I was watching Sky News before and apparently there are some good tips on the Benilyn website. (Some cold medication-probably spelt that wrong by the way.)
The usual, sickness & diarrhea.
Everyone gets it, noone will suspect or ask about it.
