Preparing for winter II

Confuzzled

i was wondering, does anyone know if primark are doing those all in one fleece pj's in bigger sizes again this year? you know the footless ones that zip up the front from inner thigh to neck?

we picked up one from a charity shop for £2 and my daughter loves it, been wearing it every night! it's a size 13 years and it has enough room for this year, i'm hoping to find at least two more from primark directly, also wondering if they go larger than 13 years as i'd prefer to buy them a size larger so she can at least wear them at the beginning of autumn next year too

Hi Kathy i love the idea of fleece lined trousers they sound so snuggly. My mum moved to USA a while back and has sent some of these over before for the kids but i thought they were just for the little ones not us grown ups. Thanks for sharing your winter bits with us

I think we have them over here as well, I have a pair of Craghoppers I use to do the horses in wet weather, I think that brand also do winter fleece lined versions.

Just been looking for warm bedding and saw the tesco website has velvet bed throws from £40 to £10. They look quite thick.

Hi
I was in the huge Primark at Coventry the other day, their childrens sizes only go up to age 13, my DD is 11 and can't fit in that age size [she's not big, Primark are small sizes] I did notice that in the ladies section they had the all in one PJ's in a fleece material - may be she could fit into a size 8 or 10 as my DD does

I dont think we do have the same regulations about fire proofing pyjamas, some I got Pip from Primarni say keep away from fire on them.

There have been strict guidelines about safety with childrens nightwear since I was young. Many years ago now

Got to tell you that those Dunelm Flannelette sheets are brilliant there was absolutely no fluff coming off them at all, not even a single bit shedded when I put them on the line.

Rainy, which ones did you go for? I was in Dunelm a couple of days ago and there were 2 kinds (I think one was around £17 and one £11) but couldn't decide. I did get a lovely set from John Lewis the other day (£18) which have come up really well once washed but could really do with a 2nd set for changes (hate using the TD).

I think my confusion here may stem from a US law that says that children's pajamas (yes we spell it different here ) must be made of flame retardant materials-- so they cannot be made from flannel (flanelette).

It's funny when I'm watching a show and some word comes out which sounds really odd (to me anyway) and I then think how the word's spent and realise that most of the time, it's us Brits who say things "oddly".

If I left my nets up and put my black out blind in behind them and then the curtains behind them do you think that would be nice and toastie or would you still recommend fleeces attached the the curtains (which are lined anyway)?

I'd still be tempted to put the fleeces up if you can. I've got roller blinds in my bathrooms (tiny windows) and you can feel the draft round the edges. (I'm a bit worried about sealing them up too much more tho' in case it gets really damp in there).

And why does one say not to tumble dry anyone...they're both 100% cotton!?

They might shrink if you tumble dry them. I know my flannelette bedding shrank a bit, so now it's a bit of a struggle getting the bottom sheet to stretch to the corners!

I've also had cotton pyjamas which fitted perfectly the first time I wore them, then after washing and tumble drying (even though the label said I could) they shrank horribly. The trousers ended up so tight they were uncomfortable to wear, and the top shrank so much that it [STRIKE]barely covered my[/STRIKE] didn't reach my belly button any more . These were M&S ones too.

Ohhhhhh, that looks good for £10!

Perfect for me - black cat & chocolate dog, multi-coloured cat rarely allowed in my bedroom (by my other cat, not me!)
