Today, I got a phone call to say my workplace was closed due to extreme weather conditions. Looking forward to my day off, I then realised the boiler was broken and my house has no heating despite there being a foot of snow outside. I'm spending the day in bed, wearing all my clothes. FML

Today, my boiler packed up on me just as the weather has turned cold, with no money to have it fixed. Hello to a week of freezing cold showers. FML

Today, my boss texted me to say the office was closed because of the snow. I begged him to let me go in anyway because I had nothing to do all day. I have no life, friends or hobbies. FML

Today, I woke up to a quite frigid room, which wasn't out of the ordinary since my building's heat is broken. But I realized that the extra cold I was feeling was due to the snow piled up on my bed. It had snowed 20 inches last night. My mom had apparently opened my window. FML

Today, after repairing the toilet, the light, the shower, the cooker and the heater in the flat I've just moved into, my boiler dies. It's mid December, about 1 degree outside. FML

Today, I was very cold and tired, so I took a shower to warm up and went to bed. The minute I hopped into bed, it collapsed and broke. I have spent half-an-hour rearranging furniture to get the mattress on to the floor. Now I'm cold again. FML

Today, the lack of heating in my room has gotten to the point where I have to cuddle my clothes for the next day at night so they're not freezing when I wake up. FML

Today, I finally got my wish of having snow on my birthday. Excited, I failed to realise this meant that no one could come to my party, including myself as we were all snowed out of town. What did I spend my 18th doing? Tidying our house. FML

Today, after getting up at 6 a.m., fighting with the dogs to wipe their paws off from the snow, and having to wait for a moving truck to move so I could get to work by 8, I got a call from my boss saying we were closed due to weather. It was 8:15. I was already there. FML

Today, like always, my parents are such tightwads that they refused to turn the heating system on, despite the ball-freezing temperatures. I was so cold, I had to resort to warming my hands up over the toaster. FML

You used despite wrong.. Despite is used to say something happened even though I took measures to prevent it. It is pretty much synonymous with "in spite of". "The boiler is broken despite having it recently serviced" The way you used it, it sounds like the snow should be providing you heat.

YDI because there are things you could be doing to warm up besides laying in bed. It will take longer to get warm that way.

you'll be warmer if you're up and being active, it's true. anyway just put on layers - cami, thin shirt, thick shirt, windproof coat; leggings, jeans; liners, socks, heavy boots; gloves, hat, and scarf - and then go have fun going about your business, be that putting snow tires / tire chains on your car and running errands or sitting around watching tv. take this from someone who's lived in normally -20 deg weather :)

That's why a wood burning fireplace is nice for a house. We have two in our house but not wood....a gas ones.  Could you go to a friend's house nearby that has working heat?
