My heating came on this morning when it went below 19. My thermostat was at 20 up until the weekend but I've turned it down to 19. It's quite cold in the mornings when we have to get up for school and work.

Little Tigs's gran found out a couple of weeks ago that she was over £700 in credit on her fuel bill. Ex's brother deals with all her finances but if he'd done it online he would've found all this out months, if not, years ago.

I know what you mean, Bobbi. It's the ultimate cosy, comfortable feeling.

And in this moment in time, I want to shut the whole world out Lcg,I’m pleased I’ve got two really good friends of over 30 years who are helping me through this , they’ve been / amazing

At least I don't feel guilty about going to bed when it's still light outside! And I seem to be sleeping a little longer on the mornings.

[LadyCG]

You need your friends around you at a time like this, Bobbi.

I could happily shut the world out too. Little one and I have got colds and I got called to pick him up from school at 13:30 because he'd fallen asleep in a chair and almost fell out of it. He was sat in his Teacher's lap having a cuddle when I got to the school office, bless him.

I could just crawl under the duvet with him and snuggle up but I've got too much to do. I made a batch of soup earlier and it looks like I've been sacrificing animals to the Gods! I need to do a full-scale clean-up of the kitchen.
