I'm back from the frozen wastelands

I'm back!  You may begin rejoicing. 
Seriously I have never been more glad to get home from an overnight stay in my life. 


I went to my sister's flat in Mere with the kids.  She doesn't have central heating.  She doesn't have  double glazing.  She has draughty old sash windows and a piddly little gas fire in what passes for a lounge.  And that's it.  For the whole flat.  And the temperature last night? -2 degrees.  I went to bed in woolly pyjamas, socks, extra socks and a fleece.  I attempted to sleep under a 15 tog quilt with an extra eiderdown on top and my dressing gown.  Oh, and a hot waterbottle. 


I have now come home with a cold. 


Ever tried driving for an hour and a half with a streaming cold?


We had pizza though.

Tried driving for 10 hours with a 103°F fever. Made it 4 hours and stopped by the hospital then to the motel for the night.


If it makes you feel better, my Grandpappy used to camp in Whitehorse in January with the Canadian Military. It's a balmy 34°F there today! Much warmer than it is here! Holy ****balls...

I'm not sure pnumonia is the problem.  Hypothermia, perhaps.


Would it be out of line for me to suggest that our Soot's sister is... frigid?

I'm not sure that was the reason she left her fiance.

She should have slung him out! - I lived in a flat with heating in one room for one winter - Ice on the inside of the windows is not good -


I was lodging so I went and bought myself a convector heater - the landlord (my mate) went spare because it cost 7p per hour to run - but I didnt care - I wasnt putting up with that for anyone!


Glad you're back in the warm Suey!

Me too.  Shame I couldn't leave my cold behind when I left.  Thanks for the warm welcome.
