Preparing for winter II

Tofu_Tanya

Thanks for the warm welcome folks:T

Thanks for the rec for the Homebase shovel Charis - will go and check it out when I feel a little braver about driving over there!!! Just had a hellish drive up my road on the way home. It was like driving a tank!!

Jo 4- I really recommend the fleecy underblanket from Wilkos. I bought mine in Sept (about £7-8 for a double)- It's lovely and warm and it's like a fitted sheet so doesn't fall off.

Best wishes

Coco, hope you your family are all nicely cosy now. Have a good rest, I'm sure that was a difficult journey!

Kittie, my plans for the evening also involve Corrie ... plus a giant mug of tea and some of Lidl's cheapy version of malteresers.:)
