Yes the Aldi thermal undies - bought a 'large' set of ladies and if that's large then I am truly a camel with a large hump! Back they go - possibly to swap for a set mens large or extra large!!!
DD found my stores in the shed after our big shop and was actually very positive about it - I thought she would be cross because it has taken some money to get thus far. She sees the sense and I think is pleased Im being sensible.
Made a huge effort to move my bed from the cold wall and into the centre of an internal wall and also moved the big chest of drawers TO the external wall - it did seem a bit warmer this a.m. when I got up - but then it wasnt that cold last night here. Cant work out how to get the blanket up as a wall hanging at the mo and am exhausted from the furniture moving - I never used to get so tired - I wonder if its psychological or the drugs Im on or just plain age..... I am clearly getting more and more depressed HELP -someone tell me a joke quick!!!!!

Morning.

Managed to buy a ski suit type thing for the LO. £25 from Matalan.

Been quite productive this morning. Borrowed my mums carpet cleaner and decided to trial it in the dining room. It was hard work but the water was rank. Quite embarrassed and dreading what the livingroom carpet will produce. Quite fancy splurging on the new Bissell cleaner. pricey tho.

If anyone has a Costco membership then they have some good offers on. 440 tetley tea bags for £4.99 and 40 rolls of double velvet loo roll for £10.48. A little pricier than my usual HB stuff but ill hopefully get less strange looks when buying them. An offer on mince too.

Rainy-Days

Just got back from Sainsburys and finally got (after sending staff off to check in the stock room) four bottles of the Fairy Non Bio liquid which is on for 2 for £10.00 (30 washes per bottle).

They also have the four can chicken and tomato soup (Heinz) packs on two for £4.50. Think I spotted ASDA in Bodmin with just the tomato soup four pack on £2.00 last week but didn't get any because we were already stacked up! Garage is quite full at the mo

I am guessing you mean DH? Would one of THESE be useful?

Please do not look if you are easily offended

I wonder if they do made to measure :rotfl:

ETA - I'm sure that's crochet, not knitting.

Trying to adopt another kitty - purely for free heat and not that im a complete sap who would have a house full of furry friends if i could get away with it. :rotfl:

Trying to work up the motivation to clean the livingroom carpet. No idea what thats got to do with winter prep but meh lol.

Hope the press are just hyping things up about winter coming early although I did think yesterday how red the holly berries are for this time of year.

Today's prep was to buy a few more boxes of tissues which are on offer.

Need to get DS3 some snowboots as his don't fit

I'll ebay the ski wear, snow boots that are too small on the next free listing - hopefully the rest of the UK will start preparing for winter early too.

Ooooooh just remembered my friend is coming this evening to put up curtain rails at the front door and landing window :j:j

That should make a big difference to the warmth in the hall, stairs and landing :T

Gettingtherequickly

Glad you mentioned curtains, just realised (and I know this is not mse) that my new ones are still waiting to be be collected having been shortened:eek:
