hypothermia

It's so cold. The boiler is still broken and ohmygodits'socold.

I am wearing; comfy trousers, kneesocks, giant wooly socks, and double layered skirt, a t shirt a woolen jumper dress and a great big shawl and ohmygodit'ssocold. The hand that is exposed by resting on the mouse is burning and stiff from the coldness.

I totally used my son earlier by putting him to bed in his dad's bed (the computer's in here) and snuggling in with him and his hot water bottle and holding his hot little squidgy foot. But that was a while ago and still no one has come to talk to me (frown) so I think it's time to  go get my own hot water bottle, and possibly Olivia's too, as she's staying with her granny (where there is heat!!) and go to bed and huddle, and read the rest of my man romance, seeing as it's 930 and no one is coming to talk to me so why am I sitting here freezing to death?

Shiiivvvvvvvvverrrrrrr!!!!


Oh. My birthday falls on Easter Sunday this year, which is a big fat pain in the butt.

My godmother just invited me to lunch, and said she'd make me a birthday cake, and the idea of someone making me a birthday cake has me vibrating with delight. But it's Easter. I mentioned it to Axl on the phone today, and he said 'Yeah, leave it with me' in the light, panicked, I don't want to go but I won't say that and I don't know how to deal with it so I'll just put it off and sleep until she's gone' voice he uses for such situations. It's a bit complicated this time, though, what with it being my birthday. How to explain him not being there to the kids? I don't want to get stuck going to my mother in law's house. On my birthday. I do not.

Family, birthdays - ick. Always complicated.

I'm freezing, too, and it's not being helped by your post :-) and my dripping nose.

Isn't warming up yet ? I've worn jeans twice this year for an entire day - and they've both been in the last week. So Autumn is definitely moving on in - even though I was in a singlet all day today.

(Please don't go warm weather, pleasepleaseplease! Warmweather-needy,me? Never!)
