Edit, if you want to meet a big dog you should come sooner rather than later,

If I cooked vegetarian food (rather than kosher) would you and mrs GDb like to come to lunch with doglet?

Any one else? Dog fest?

Weekend day? If its a large party it will be a bit ad hoc for seating. And if its vegetarian there maywell be vegetables in cluding some unpopular ones.

Thanks. We'd love to. Vegetarian food is my favourite.

Apparently, keeping your feet warm is the single most important thing to keep you warm. As unattractive as it may be to wear socks to bed.

And/or wear a hat. If the covers are keeping the rest of you wrapped up but your head is the only bit losing lots of heat, a hat (or other warm head covering) can make a huge difference. It's worked for me in the past when camping or staying in v cold houses etc.

Is night shivers to do with being cold or caused by muscles going into spasm due to not being able to relax?

Feeling cold may not be about the room temperature, but wrapping up warmer can help all the same. When I am ill or overtired, I always feel much colder than is reasonable for the room temperature, but putting on extra layers (either on me on or the bed) helps.

I agree with Lydia. First minimise the heat loss through extremities. If I'm feeling particularly cold I've worn bedsocks and a hoody to bed on top of regular nightwear (plus the obligatory hot water bottle).

But if I'm tired or anxious, I'm far more prone to feeling cold irrespective of the heat in the room. It then becomes a vicious circle, that I feel cold and thus tense up, which makes me feel more cold. Adding heat into the equation relaxes the muscles and undoes the vicious circle, so to speak.

For this reason I have one of those wheat microwaveable heat packs at work to put on my legs if I'm feeling tense.

And I put extra layers on my bed because that too helps me feel warmer.

I'm well out of the loop on these things, but hasn't there been a convergence between stills cameras and movies cameras? Do you absolutely have to go down the movie camera route?

Well, he wants one with a mic socket into which he can plug his decent quality mic in his newly acquired furry boom mic thing to decrease wind noise and improve sound quality. I don't know if still cameras usually have those, but I'll ask him to look into it.

I would love to come to a dog fest. I have no dog to bring but would love to spend time with other people's. A weekend day is fine by me (or a Thursday). Will email.

Brilliant ...if you want to pretend you can pretend to own one of mine for the day. Shrug. Or all of them

Have got to help with revision for a test tomorrow. How do parents who aren't teachers cope with this kind of thing?

Ask yourself that next time you set a test

I used to read the books and hope for the best when I had a test... or do nothing as I wasn't sure what'd be covered and had other homework to do.

Also, putting a pillow over your feet works instant wonders.

I have a George...a treat from Josh last winter. For explanation, George is a giant footmuff.

George is also very handy at other times of the year as a back or head rest.

Research....internet is your friend. Or you hope that it is something you actually know about.

In the last year, I have done a crash course in business studies, reviewed my GCSE maths and English skills and have learned so much about 20th century history, I could have probably passed the blooming exam myself!
