Christmas is a time for giving, but make sure it's only presents you're sharing with those nearest to you, and not some nasty winter illness like flu or norovirus. So, have the flu jab and, if you've had sickness or diarrhoea, wait 48 hours before visiting family and friends.

Just two weeks to go until the big day, so start thinking now about if you've got enough medication to see you through the festive period. Most pharmacies will be closed on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day, and may have reduced opening hours on the days in between.
