Really thought I'd avoided catching it, woke up yesterday morning with a bit of a swollen face, thought 'oh bollox', eventually found a doctors surgery (google maps give you the doctor's home address...) to be told yes, you do have mumps, and if you're really unlucky it'll spread to your balls and be extreemly painful.
Oh great.

Me with the mumps
This is the second day, and apparently it will get worse for a couple more days, then go away, which is good cos im starving!
Im sitting here with half a ham roll, thats taken me 30mins to eat so far. Bloody annoying!
At least on the plus side, I won't catch it again...oh and appologies to anyone at the pub/subways/tesco/housemates that I may have infected.
