    As for finishing my presents list, I have 2 to get, both for my children from my father who is retired:eek: Why did I offer to get them?? Snow everywhere so I didn't dare go to Mr T to get anything. However,had a nice hour playing in the snow with my ds, built a snowman outside the house but some !!!!!! has kicked it down:mad: he will be gutted when he wakes up as he is only 4.

    .They don't... these are supplied by the nat grid if the gas supply fails. Sorry.

    Well you're welcome to stay tomorrow night if you want. As long as you bring the fircones ;).

    The fircones may well be burnt at home in a bucket for some warmth if it gets much colder! I'm seriously considering going to bed in a moment just to try and get warm

    You need to keep your circulation going and your core temperature up.

    Take BB out for a brisk walk every so often and try to do things that will keep you warm (going to bed may not be one of them. I suggest ironing :p

    Arrange to go out for supper tomorrow - or even stay with friends overnight. The offer stands (supper is wild goose casserole, just so you know!).

    Drink plenty of hot drinks too, to keep your internal temperature out and steer well clear of alcohol. Keep head, hands and feet warm. If you are staying at home tomorrow night, make sure you buy LOTS of hot water bottles on your way home. Then if you're sitting watching TV or reading, you can tuck yourself up under a blanket with a row of hot water bottles.
