The heating is broken, as is all the hot water. Oh, God, it's cold. I thought it was just my heating - I spent last night curled under two blankets, a quilt, a jumper, my nightie and a pair of jogging bottoms - but no, the entire house is down and we have no hot water. So glad I woke up too late to have a shower this morning.

In happier housing news, I have somewhere to live next year! We all got housing in Fife Park, which is obviously a thing of love and wonder. Erm, not Fife Park, obviously, because it is a 20 minute walk from down, but at least we'll be near DRA and there is a bus. No beach, but there are cows. The houses are quite nicely set out, and we get a table to make up for our lack of lounge. Plus, we're all a group so might have a spare room to make into a lounge, so that is all good, obviously. Plus we save £100 a year and oh my are my financial worries so much less right now.

Although I am freezing to death, which is bad. Brrr. *shivers* I also have a nagging feeling I am becoming ill - I fel all achey and stuff, can't stop sneezing and generally feel a bit bleurgh. I nearly made the entire section of the semester being healthy, dammit! So the lack of hot water is NOT HELPING MATTERS BECAUSE I WANT MY HEATING ON NOW. I might be a Hard Northern Bird but I'm only so good.

Right-o. Edit my essay and crawl back into bed for a few hours, I think. Brrr.

You have a house! That's great! :)

Not good about the cold. Lots of clothes + dressing gown + blanket is the way to go. Hope your heating comes back on soon!

Good news about the house, that must be a huge relief. But no heating - that is terrible!! Hope they fix it soon.

Yaynes about the house! Although I suggest you invest in beanbags to make up for the lack of comfy chairs.

As for the lack of heating *shudders*...er...hot chocolate! Hot chocolate is the answer to everything!

We have comfy chairs... just not rooms to put them in.

yaaaay! seriously, everybody i know who is in fife really likes it, i think you always like where you are best. i'll make a big effort to come and see you more often too ... btw - got back into sallies! i know, its not quite the same thing as having a house but hey i love it here, all but one of my friends who wanted to stay in have got in and hes been wait-listed so fingers crossed.

Oh, you got back in! Good, I was worrying. *grins*

Fife Park won't be as good simply because there's not a beach, but I lived eighteen years of my life away from a beach so I think I'll cope. *grins*
