Publisher's Synopsis

The perfect companion for those extremely hardworking colleagues, who like to pull sickies . . .

'Lawrence and Ben are enjoying a bout of imaginary food poisoning.

Food poisoning is always good because it's over quickly and nobody likes to hear stories about toilets.'
__________

'When Jesse gets home from a very big party, he phones his manager and leaves a message. Now he does not have to get up early to call in sick.

'Calling the office at 3:07am is exactly what someone with a real cold would do,' Jesse thinks to himself as he falls asleep on his stairs with a kebab for a pillow.'
__________

This delightful book is the latest in the series of Ladybird books which have been specially planned to help grown-ups with the world about them.

The large clear script, the careful choice of words, the frequent repetition and the thoughtful matching of text with pictures all enable grown-ups to think they have taught themselves to cope. Featuring original Ladybird artwork alongside brilliantly funny, brand new text.
