Swap My Sickie

This week, more people are calling in sick than at any other time of the year...

As you read this, thousands of sofa-sprawled Britons are counting down to, er, Countdown... and quite probably humming the theme tune too.

In homage to this - the sickliest of weeks - we're asking people to submit their most creative sick-day excuses.

Here are some stand-out entries so far:

And another.

But we actually think duvet days are for quiters so we're sending our winner (and two friends) on a day out in London worth £1500. It's sort of like the anti-sick day... we're talking ice wall climbs, speedboat rides, hefty bar tabs and GoPro cameras!

Like all sickie excuses, they can range from the believable, to the hilarious to the downright ridiculous. Bonus points will be awarded for creativity with photo/video footage very much encouraged.

Submit your entries using Facebook, Twitter and Instagram and always use the hashtag: #SwapMySickie so we can find you.
