Has anyone seen the weather forecast for tonight? It is supposed to be minus 5 degrees. I've got DS to bring the guinea pigs indoors and am about to fish DS's sleeping bag out. Who else is taking extra precautions against the cold tonight and what are you doing to keep warm?

    Its freeeeeeezing.

    We have one hot water bottle for 'poorly tummies'.

    After my shopping trip today we now have 3 :D There was a tug of war last night over the one we did have :o

    No pets to worry about.

    I have also got some of the girls fleecy blankets out to put on their beds.

    We have one of those duvets that splits in two. I forgot until my husband mentioned it that we only have one half on. Trouble is I'm not sure where the other half is. Maybe I'll get warm by hunting high and low for it in a bit :D

    Now I'm thinking back to the very cold holiday we had one new year in wales. I slept in my t-shirt, pyjamas, cardigan, jumper, hat, gloves and 3 pairs of socks :rotfl:
    Sometimes it's important to work for that pot of gold...But other times it's essential to take time off and to make sure that your most important decision in the day simply consists of choosing which color to slide down on the rainbow...

    electric blanket which will be on high before i et in, then on its lowest setting all night. (I've checked, and its safe.)

    I've also got two duvets on my bed at the mo, and I may dig out my pyjamas.

    The Cat usually sleeps on my partners pillow when he's not staying over, so she'll be fine too.

    Oh, and porridge is soaking ready for the morning, for central heating.
