Preparing for winter II

Rummer

Where is the best (cheapest) place to get hand warmers? We do not have a microwave so they would need to be reset through boiling.

Rummer - Dunelm do the ones that you have to boil to reset - sorry but not sure of the current price - I got some footie ones and some heart ones for the kiddies and I think they were about 99p for a pack of 3 [oh err missus lol]

I got handwarmers last year for us and my friends children from B&M - I have a question. The cake ones for the girls came in pairs, but the footie ones I got for the boys came in packs of 3 - why do boys need an extra one???

Still trying to find some Snow Boots / Mucker Boots can not believe the difference in cost. If anyone finds any please give me a shout.

Im also looking for the following if anyone has any idea's

• Mens Wool Jumpers
• Ladies Wool Jumpers
• Ladies / mens cheap fleece jumpers
• Any general winter clothing

Thank you in advance

Now I need to get cracking with my proper list!!

Either... boys are more likely to lose one.
Or ... to keep the crown jewels warm:rotfl:

LittleBrownFrog I was thinking the exact same thing. Can't have the little fellas getting chilly!!

Aldi were selling walking type boots this week - don't know how much though.
I buy mine from TKMaxx too which often have decent brands heavily discounted.

Re woolly jumpers I like them from the Army & Navy stores. They last forever.

Haha that made me laugh, i wondered why the boys had three in aswell!

Went for a rummage in the sales today, came home with:
* A sewing machine (something i want to learn for future projects)
* Toy story fleece blanket for my LO, he was very impressed and its huge! Got it at a bargain price of £3 from Poundstretcher
* Mens thermal hat that is fleecelined- reduced to £1 in poundstretcher
*Womens luxury hat, scarf and glove set in Pound stretcher for £2.50
*hat and mittens set reduced to £1 in poundstretcher for my LO
* Flanelette cot bed sheets for LO's toddler bed
*A padded mattress liner for our bed, hoping it will keep us a bit warmer with electric blanket under
* Three pairs of fluffy winter socks for £1.99 poundstretcher
* Winter slipper boots for £2.25 reduced in poundstretcher
* Slippers for my other half for £5 from shoe zone
* Knitted ugg type boots reduced to £5 in poundstretcher
* More winter ailments medication- poundshop are doing a fab range of lemsips and beachams atm

I went into local poundstretcher and they had lots of winter wear, socks, hats, scarfs, gloves, boots, jumpers, reduced thermals, slippers, vests etc worth a look if you have one close by
