I know someone in a big old house where the temperature indoors now is not much higher than outdoors. They put their heating on and watched their smart meter tell them they’d spent £13 in an hour without really getting much warmer.

Little one is hot and refusing wear clothes. I’m cold and am bundled up in a jumper, and even a dressing gown, which I hardly ever wear normally.

All the boys are poorly today. No more fevers, but bad coughs, and none of us has an appetite. Should be a fun day!

Christmas tree and lights up. Boys did most of the tree decorating. Much quicker and less stressful than previous years.

Both boys are staying at home today. Big kid bounced into school yesterday after recovering from two days of fever, cough and sore throat, but didn’t eat his lunch. Think he’s just tired. Little kid has a raging temperature, but eating ok.

Surprised I haven’t been asked to remove this review of FM Conway. Is 5,000 views a lot? I guess, at the end of the day, it makes no difference.

Got soaked the skin collecting big kid from school (who, it turns out, ate and drank nothing all day…). Last time I got this wet was on my way to record this interview for the BBC…
