What the Dickens? You poor Brit, living in a country with a housing standard that doesn't stand up to the weather.

I can fully imagine that you'd be having a hard time typing in a cold room, with your aches on top. Might it be possible to get a tabletop "radiator" of sorts? Like a mini version of those things that allow people to smoke outdoors? A strong old-fashioned light bulb might actually do quite a job there, but those aren't easy to come by in Norway anymore as they're being phased out. But there are heat lamps for hatching and whatnot. Household electric heaters are usually too large I guess, but the smallest variants might work.

Lol!

We have some contraband light bulbs, but not enough change for the meter.

Crappy British housing yes.  Our great nation (sarcastic) falls to pieces when it snows (you may scoff in Norway).  I recently read that we were one of the only nations to use hot water bottles (probably because of the ancient and poorly designed housing stock).  Sadly though, these don't help much for the fingers.

I'll have to set up office under the stairs, the computer provides enough heat to warm the enclosed space.
