Oh great
another opportunity to start a thread that'll only get pity replies

I need a question...something about medical conditions? Or why I've not gone to sleep yet? Or why it's so hard to get work done at the weekend despite the fact it will make the rest of the week so much more bearable?

How are you coping with a lack of heating?

I'm cold, but less grumpy than I was
switching it off and on again is not fixing it.
