Preparing for winter II

mardatha

Nooly I hate handbags as well, I used to leave on buses and in pubs so I just gave up and got coats with pockets!
Its cold here, white frost when I got up, but not as bad as yesterday, yesterday was BALTIC. Esp in my kitchen- I had to pinch the RV's big woolly cardi (that he never wears cos he thinks its not macho) to cook in.
I am wondering where Red Doe is, she is MIA. Maybe internet connection gave out..

Big pockets are the best, with zips in them, that way your sweeties don't fall out. I haven't seen Red Doe around - hope it is nothing bad. Mens cardis are the best, very cosy. Hmmm, with my love of mens socks and cardis I could easily become a crossdresser. And I'm sure RV is very macho, even with a cardi. Did you get any snow? I think our temps wren't quite as bad as they feared but it I was fine with my hundreds of fleeces and thermal vest.

if it's really cold tomorrow i'll just bake sorta kill two birds with one stone sorta thing

Hmmm, I don't think I know that recipe, you must post it on Old Style.
Good to know I am not alone in my non-handbag-lovingness. I often bring a small rucksack with me instead, or else a bag that crosses over me like you say Confuzzled. That way it's harder to lose lol.

I remember when driving from the north to Cornwall about 8 years ago I bought a can of Nescafe coffee that heated automatically when you opened it. Yes I know it sounds way 'out there' but I really did buy it, I did't dream it!

I've not seen them since. Does anybody have any clue what I'm talking about or if they are still on the market. Also is there anything similar on the market to put in the car for emergencies and 'stuckages'.

Hmmm, how about attaching their gloves attached to a string and put through the arms of their coats? I think it looks so cute and it stops them getting lost.

Yes Diddly, and they get proper pockets. I must be the only female alive who's not keen on handbags. Would love more pockets though!

I finger knit a length of wool and sew it to the gloves. Works a treat

Still haven't finished my crochet hexagon blanket - maybe it will be ready for next winter!!!

Have finished the main body of the jumper I'm knitting but I've discovered I hate knitting sleeves! Aaaargh I've only done half of one sleeve Must try harder

Washing is just not drying outside in this cold weather so I need to buy some radiator airers this week

Also need some new winter tights

Our new house is actually quite toasty, I think it's the 2ft thick stone walls! V gd
