Preparing for winter II

Magpie27

Just went to put the winter duvet on the bed to discover its a double and all my bedding is king size now So now I need to either find a good price 13.5 tog king size or a cheap 4.5 tog to add to my summer - worried that might make it to hot if there is such a thing :rotfl:Anyone seen any bargains for either of these?

For those of you stocking up on candles, where did you buy them? I was thinking of Tesco, I think they do them cheaply?

I've got a few types of candle from Ikea and they don't seem to burn well. The tea lights and bigger candles in metal cups leave a lot of wax behind and the flame was very small. Am wondering if I stored them wrongly or something since they both had the same problem.

To make tealights last store them in the freezer should burn for much longer

Would it not be easier and cheaper to buy a bedset for the double and use it as an extra cover over yoiur summer duvet?

I meant just put it over the top of the existing duvet, like a throw or blanket

From memory Ikea and Asda are also quite good on prices for duvets.

Cannot believe how dark it is here, and it's only coming up to a quarter to 8. I'm eyeing up a freshly washed fleece blanket that may be wrapped around me in a tick!

Keep warm everyone.
