My office is freezing too. Weird thing is that I came in for a couple of days between Christmas and New Year when there was no one here and it was boiling. Today with a full office people are wearing scarves and coats at their desks.

Oh god, am really struggling today. It's freezing but I have a fan heater by my desk so coping, lots of work to do but all so boring... and a full week of this to look forward to. Roll on Friday! Perhaps a brew is in order...

My boiler has broken :cry: I've no central heating or hot water having to sleep in a sleeping bag under the quilt. I've also got a flat battery after it wouldn't start yesterday so feeling very sorry for myself. Had to borrow my mums car and have to shower at hers until we get it fixed! It's got to get better 8O

Oh poor you, that sounds awful, I do hope it gets fixed soon! :cross: Boilers always seem to breakdown when it's freezing cold!

Only way is up Diane!

Hope you get it fixed soon. I hate having a cold house. We had our boiler replaced just before Christmas after putting it off for ages but happy now that we did it.

Ross quits BBC!!!!!! (1 hour ago!)

Chat show king Jonathan Ross is quitting the BBC after 13 years on air. The controversial broadcaster announced on Thursday he will leave the corporation when his £18 million, three-year deal comes to an end in July.

Full article here: http://uk.news.yahoo.com/1/20100107/ten ... 0bd6d.html

Terry Wogan has left his Radio 2 prime time slot as well. He has retired to do other projects. That's 2 of the big guns missing from the BEEB - Chris Evans is to replace Terry Wogan, but who can replace Jonathan Ross?
