yesterdays newspaper was advertizing slippers ,like little boots and blankets with arms in,like a fleece top with arms then a blanket ,for sitting on the settee or chair. Would be nice and warm I think.

i prefer slipper boots (the loose kind not the ones that look a bit like mens shoes) as they cover my ankles loosely but comfortably. i can't stand that inch of ankle where the socks always fall down and the trousers ride up as you sit down

I don't read the Mail, was just that my daughter sent me the link - I dont get a newspaper at all here. 12 miles is a wee bit far for the paperboy to cycle

this sentence is nicely buried in the bottom half of that article though

However, the forecasting group has not always got it right - it said this summer would be one of the top three hottest on record, but it was only the 14th.

talking of insulation, DH lit both multifuel burners yesterday and put on a bit of coal as well as wood ,as we have all been suffering from colds and what with the bad weather........anyway,was sat here sweating thinking it was the cold ,looked at the thermometer and it was reading 27 celcius . Tropical.

OOOH! Lambswool insoles for only £2 a pair. You can't go wrong really, can you? The only caveat I can think of is that they might make the boots/shoes feel a bit tight and therefore your feel might feel colder. What the heck, I'm going to order some anyway. Nice find! Thanks.

Can I ask where did you see them at that price?

The poster I was responding to (butler_helen) very kindly provided a link to the ebay listing for them:

It's been beautiful here too today - blue sky and warm sunshine all day. Hard to believe it's October! My washing dried in record time and this afternoon I have been putting the back garden to rights for the winter. Bringing things into the garage (sadly no greehouse) to overwinter, taking geranium cuttings and cutting other things back - generally tidying it up. OH dismantled the patio table and put it, along with the chairs, in the garage. Hopefully tomorrow might be the same (says she hopefully!) and I can get the front garden tidied up too. Plus I still have some daffodil bulbs to put in.
