    can you order online or do i actually have to go into a shop? :D

    I don't think they have an online shop - but i've seen people selling new ones on ebay - with probably quite a bit of a mark up!
  • Had to put it on tonight. DD1 came downstairs wearing her full uniform including blazer with her dressing gown over the top, new fir lined boots and was looking for her gloves to put on. The fact that her fingers were too numb to type her homework was the deciding factor.:D:D Only on for a couple of hours to take the chill off.

    I am sat here wearing fleece jumper, scarf and have a fleece blanket wrapped around my legs and feet, so I am nice and toasty with the heating off!;)

    Kids gone to bed with their new hot water bottles that I bought a few weeks ago. They love them.:T

    in yorkshire here too and its sooo cold :eek:
    flicked the heating on for an hour this morning and again around 8pm , DD1 was complaining that she was frozen
  • Well, the temp didn't drop as much as I thought it would overnight - only down to 1.3 deg!

    Heating on just now - only for an hour or so to take the chill off & have loads more layers on today so hopefully will stay a bit warmer (but hard when little moving around).... we'll see!

    (I did put the timer on but ended up a good couple of hours before it was going to come on!)

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Ive been desperate for one but they dont come in my size (well they do on that site but theyre expensive! i want a primark one... ill have to wait until im slimmer in a couple of months and maybe get them in the january sales!

    im always envious of people who have them.


    I like the idea, but in reality, taking so much off to go to the outside loo is too cold an idea :o.....with pjs at least your top stays warm!

    Arrrghhhh!! Ashamed to say I caved and the heating is now...ON :o


    There is NOTHING to be ashamed about. Its silly not too when you are cold if you have it and can afford it. :)



    Meanwhile, though its a wee bit colder this morning...8 in the kitchen, the dog's bedroom is warm (but has a lot of condensation from dogs breating and plants spending winter on the window sill in there!)


    I'm just having a tidy up and a drink then I'll haul some logs in for the housesitter to use. :)
