Yay! You aren't a forum virgin anymore!
Strangely i was only talking to mate about this the other night in the pub. He's been on holiday for 3 weeks and spent the entire time with a cold.. he comes back to work and its cleared up.. I used to be able to guarantee when I would get toothache, the day after i went on holiday...
I reckon its just some freaked out boss-karma revenge thingy... for all those days you called in sick because you had a hangover.... or were too bone idle to get out of bed.

If you contact your work and let them know you are sick (send in GP certificate) you should be able to keep your leave until you are well enough to take it dunno

Hope you are better now

Thanks kit, I am feeling better, just run down. Wasn't i'll enough for a sick note, if i wasn't on hols I would have struggled through at work (I was brought up to share things - including my colds :twisted: ) so can't really ask for the time back.
Never mind, still have a full five days of leave left before April - woo hoo!

Blimey - been there as well. In May 05 I went away for 11 days, Gran Canaria. Lovely place BUT, day 3 got conjunctivitis badly in both eyes, looked like liver all over my face, and couldnt see much of anything, day 5 strined my acchiles tendon - couldn't even get to a bar to drown my sorrws !! lol going again soon tho' and only for the holiday.
