well, fluffy onesie on + donkey brown boottee-tyle slippers
cuppa Twinnings tea = everyday variety, decaff + s/sk milk = no sugar +
Blue Ribband original choccy bic to hand
checking on my cat Marvellous Marty the Magnificent = beside me in his pet-bed under the wooden desk 
on which new basic desktop printer will be put = on or around next payday ..... I mean upon the wooden desk not upon the cat 
kicked my old basic Epson printer in frustration many many months ago 
therapeutic for me for about 3 nano-seconds but really, really bad for the printer
well, let's see if there are many takers for my initial entry into the off-top unofficial world of 'the lounge area'

HAVE A LAUGH ON ME
The weather which @Cleoriff was experiencing yesterday seems to have reached where I live = I am cold, really really cold = it's like yesterday was pleasant Autumn, today is dank, grey light, low white sky & feels like Winter ... I've turned the heating thermostat up to 18.5c ... & will use the £11.70 refund (cheque) from NYCC (North Yorkshire County Council) to pay for the extra gas used 
I too suffer from SAD Seasonal Affective Disorder, it's the light with me = you need to sit in front of a light machine for 90mins per day = what ? 
so my sometime Associate Specialist said years ago, he even suggested I make one in the woodwork class I was attending = Pffft !
I sit here in front of the laptop with frozzen knees + feet + nose (ears, neck & head are covered by red bobble hat with matching scarf) + pink thermal gloves as I key in + shocking pink thick fluffy dressing gown on over my house-clothes & I'm still cold ... I ran hot water over my hands in attempt to warm them up
I NEED A HOT TUB !!! ..... unfortunately, I don't move in those kind of circles 
Oh & my sensitive digestive system is revolting ..... /

I have a suggestion that works for me when I'm sitting in my flat, cold as ice and need to get warm.
Cat(s) + duvet + duvet + lots of layers of clothes.
Pile them all on top of yourself on the sofa. And if you can, move the sofa near the radiator. And then a hot drink!
Maybe not all in that order though as it might be difficult to move the sofa or get a drink when you're underneath the duvet pile, but you know what I mean.

Well I have been to Birmingham today (to the Jewellery Quarter) .....wrapped up like an eskimo. I warmed up a bit though when I managed to get hubby to reach for his wallet and buy me a couple of gold bracelets....(birthday and Christmas combined /....or so he tried to inform me)

@Cleoriff how lovely may I ask which gold you like ?... I like rose gold ... but chose to give my good rose-gold bracelet to my future daughter-in-law because my wrists had thickened ... any chance of a photo ?
Way to go Cleo & husband
