I've got two kids and it feels like at least two of the four of us has had a cold going back to mid-december.

I've had this cough thing for the last few days, figured I was over the worst of it...until I woke up this morning with a horrifically blocked nose; been sneezing and blowing my nose since. Will it ever end?

Have you considered allergies? I had what I thought was a long running cold that caused congestion and coughing. In the end it turned out I had a dust mite allergy. This could be especially likely if your symptoms get worse at night.

I find I get stuffy during autumn and I think it might be related to fungus. It's when things get a bit cold and damp. This winter has been like a long autumn and I've been sneezing and bunged up pretty much throughout.
