LOL brushed cotton sounds more modern doesn't it!?!?!

I've checked Amazon & Ebay & boy aren't they expensive!!! I also have a Dunelm near by so I'll pop over in the next few weeks.

Thank you.

that's what i bought in blue, you get an extra sheet for free in the package, they're lovely and soft and yes do look a tad like something gran would have had but in that pretty antique sorta way vs 50's or 60's kitsch

Boo, all gone in king size by the time I looked!

I want to get flat sheets for us all so I can do what we used to do at home and use the duvet as a quilt over the sheet - saves on laundry too as you only need to wash the sheet, which dries quicker as it's not double fabric. (Although flannette does take longer than poly-cotton, so it does depend on your duvet fabric...) I hope I can get them in bigger sizes than the beds (single, double no problem but my king size may be harder) to help tuck everything in to keep us cosy.

All gone - in all sizes! Never mind.

very does some sets in superking as i had to look up the size differences, when i ordered the ditsy set (who comes up with these names? :rotfl:) they had both king and superking, i only have a double so the superking would have been way too large but i would think that would be enough for your kingsize bed to cover duvets etc

wow that was fast! everyone must have raced to grab them at that price! sorry you didn't get one but the dunelm sets aren't that much dearer, you only get one but at least it's not an arm and a leg, i have seen them for much higher which is why i grabbed them from very when i saw them the other day keep up the search though, it's still early days for selling cold weather stuff in the shops so i suspect there are still bargains to be had on them yet

QVC sell flanellette sheets & they are very good quality & not too expensive.

Have you read the reviews on them? It is not all good. Complaints galore about shedding and pilling. Then after a few washes they have complaints about bobbling. They may be a decent price I'll give you that one but the quality is being reported as flimsy especially when it is supposed to be heavyweight.

The customer is always right on this one and there are way too many complaints on the flannelette sheets!

I've not read the reviews. I have the sheets & have had no problems with them.

Oohhh have just ordered a new animal ski jacket!! (pricey I know but my last one lasted me 4 winters!) Ordered it from surfdome and it had 30% off, entered a code and got another 20% off! So I ordered a nice thermal north face fleece too!

Feels a little strange thinking about winter clothes when we've not really had a summer! But I do love winter so it makes me quite excited!
