      3. Keeping it up for months would definitely be a challenge – especially at my age…

      6. Don’t worry about it, Graeme; you’re only as old as you feel.

      7. Bearing in mind how old I’ve felt recently, that’s not reassuring

      8. You can look at it two ways – a) you’re over half-way to being 100 years old or b) they say 50 is the new 40

      9. I’m not sure I like the direction this conversation is going – you know 50’s starting to feel like a distant memory to me. I think we need to get back to draughty behinds

  5. Ha! Ha! But it doesn’t work when your boiler is broken for a week, taking over eleven hours and four engineer visits to fix. As many layers as you can name, blankets, duvets, and a Rudolf nose…. plus the miracle cure hot toddy as last resort.

  6. Perhaps I should add that I lived in a very draughty old house as a child – open fireplace in bedroom and I was only allowed to light a fire at weekends, so the only way I could get away from the rest of the family to study was by getting into a thick sleeping bag at my desk.There would be ice on the inside of the windows it was so cold and you had to brace yourself before jumping into bed at night.

    I must have grown soft in old age as I didn’t cope at all well without heating this month!

      1. It wasn’t just cold, but supposedly haunted. Or maybe those were just stories made up by people at school to scare me… Mind you my room did overlook the graveyard. Imagine being cold and woken by the sound of a grave being dug out at 6am. I hated that house! Had better stop – this is supposed to be the funny section. Thanks for your comment, Esther.
