Winter has come and boy do we know it. The weather has been positively SHOCKING and it's us mums that feel it the most. Layering yourself up and bracing each bitter winter day is one thing. However, when you have a house full of snotty small humans to keep warm over the cold weeks, you can't help but miss the warm weather.

To remind you that you are not alone, here are 20 winter blues all mums dread this time of year!

6. Sweaty foreheads under woolly hats

7. Frozen little feet in the morning

8. Massive heating bills
