I am so cold! I'm in my bed with a coat on. The heating is on but even standing next to the radiator isn't helping.

I have to do school run in a few minutes. Dreading it!

I have too many school runs today. I took DD to school this morning. On the way there she remembered that she brought her PE kit home on Monday, caked with mud, but didn't tell me about it, and she needed it for netball after school. So I went back at 3.15 to deliver the PE kit. I am now about to go back and collect her at 4.15. Then at 6.00 I shall have to take her to Brownies, and at 7.15 I'll need to pick her up. That's 5 journeys, total 20 miles.

Difficulty about being cold is it is worse when you're not moving about.
When you're ill, you don't want to move, which exacerbates the problem.

Hot sweet tea is the order methinks!

Very few kids were dropped at school when I went. If they were it was because they missed the school bus or some other event.

I had one friend who, with her brothers, walked the full 3 miles across open countryside, wtihout a pavement or lighting and with a narrow road. And when they got home they were living in a caravan.

We were definitely 'arder back then :P

I may have stumbled across this through you guys in the first place, a few years ago, but even if I did, I think it's worth posting as it still makes me laugh really hard .

This is weather that those with huge open-plan houses with vaulted ceilings wish they lived in a 1 bed flat

So dark, so early. Had a hailstorm earlier.

She would have walked if we'd still been living in the house where we were when we chose the primary school. By the time I bought this house DS was in year 5, so I chose with secondary catchment in mind rather than primary. Now that DS is at the secondary school, he walks to it, but I'm still dropping DD by car on my way to work.

Agreed. I don't entirely understand why some parts of my house are so much warmer than other parts, but happy that my bedroom seems to be one of the warmer bits. I think random people keep turning off the radiators in other parts of the house.
