Brrrr - What are you doing to keep warm

I have got my cost pyjamas on so at the moment nice and cosy but I still have the odd "hot flush" so I have been known to throw open the window every now and then so I am not very popular with DH sometimes

jeni you need a thin thermal vest to go under your top and jacket, and if you can wear a trouser suit you could get thermal leggings. I have got some quite pretty one that I used when we did a lot of hill walking, got them from Damart and M&S.

What in the court?
Hic sorry me lud!
Perhaps not.
But love the idea

How about a thermos of gluwein jeni?

Oh and yes. Gas and air is still used, my dd was given it.

It's suits. Ties for the men and a lot of them wear cuff links as well.
I'm not helped by the fact that post cruise gain has meant that my jackets won't fit over more than a very thin layer. A rug is a brilliant idea, I've got a travel rug somewhere. I'll go look it out. Thanks.

NO

bought two polo necked wool sweaters (M&S) from charity shop last week -good timing!
Layers,leggings -and a woolly hat makes a big difference,
even worn in the house
Jeni would your judge allow you to wear one?

Hence the THIN layers. They are warmer and not so bulky. Do you have to look wise from the waist down or are you hidden behind a desk? Could you get away with a rug over your knees or something? Cold as you know is bad for your blood coagulation and possibly your immune system too.

Yes NO (ha, chemical joke Jeni) is laughing gas. Do you remember that "gas and air" that was offered to mothers in labour. Maybe it still is.

I'm supposed to look smart and wise. I'm going to look like a 5ft7inch dumpling with able nose and hands! Oh well back to avatar colours, but please NO nitrous oxide. ( isn't that laughing gas? )

Nothing keeps my feet warm!

The rest of me is usually ok.

Radiator thermostats that mean we only have radiators n in the rooms we are actually in.
Supplementary gas fire in the living room.
Long sheepskin boot-slippers (Christmas present)
Wheat-worm clutched to my middle
Legwarmers over my trousers
Vest, polo neck jumper that pops up under the crotch (keeps the middle warm), jumper over that and huge chunky handknit long cardigan.

Fight your way into that lot Romeo!!

go for the multiple thin layers jeni.
I have done ok today with 1 winter weight t shirt, 1 long sleeved fleece, 1 slightly felted merino jumper (a handon from DH who bought it for cycling and then shrunk it in the wash. V cosy) 1 double layered pashmina. A pair of leggings and some tracky bottoms.
I AM going to pluck up my courage to go to Yoga cos when i get there, underfloor heating awaits...

it's not my fault.

Atta girl.

Are your judges blessed with the warmth of an all knowing, all wise confidence?

butter
That's the best idea I've heard all day. It was freezing at work today and my judge insisted on having the window open! The one I'm sitting with tomorrow is even worse.her daughter complains their house is like an ice hotel.
I'm going on a hunt for thick sweaters for tomorrow and then getting myself a vodka

Having a glass of wine - it makes me flush!

Quite!

I have been sitting snuggled up in one of these since lunch. www.amazon.co.uk/Slanket-SKRW-Ruby-Wine/dp/B002BFEJT0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1328026960&sr=8-1

Mustn't walk around in it though as there is a lot of it and you could easily go flying if you tripped!
