    I am thinking of getting a onsie, purely for pottering purposes. I want one, I know they look daft but imagine how warm and toasty they are!

    It's the going to the loo that bothers me:rotfl::rotfl:

    You know you'll get caught wearing it by the person you least want to know that you have one, don't you? :rotfl:

    Hmmm, useful I agree. But even the reviewers say it takes practice. That's an awful lot of spray back to clear up before one is dry. A nappy might be the answer....

    Does this count as a onsie?

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/MusucBag-Classic-Black-L/dp/B005R0DML2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1363976783&sr=8-1

    Mine is a different colour/heavier weight, and even better, it was free. Bosses gave me one of those pre-loaded credit cards and I was so sick of sitting in my North facing front room, freezing whilst watching TV, that I thought I don't care what it looks like, I need to be warm. However, despite their hype, I still need a blanket (or two) on top, the room is so cold.

    .

    Yes, it counts as a onesie I'm afraid. I'll be sticking with the heated throw :rotfl::rotfl:
    its a michelin man onsie! Amazing!

    :rotfl::rotfl:
    I am *seriously* considering a onesie after the winter we've had - we have no central heating in this house, just a woodburner and night storage on Total Heating Total Control, which has to be the worst named tariff ever because it means Scottish Hydro watches the weather forecast and adjusts your storage heaters to be on when it thinks you'll need them. It's also impossible to switch away from, because it's got a special meter that no other company will touch.

    *adds proper central heating system to the 'one day' wishlist*

    Okay, extreme circumstances a onesie is allowed, but don't get addicted to it. I don't want to hear you've been seen shopping or mucking out in it :rotfl:

    The forecast snow has arrived three hours early already the garden is covered, the paths and roads are beginning to get a fair dusting of it too.

    I dashed out in my fetching brown bear outfit [dressing gown] to top up the bird feeders and haul a large bag of compost to the back door. Colin is doing his intrepid explorer role in-between chasing snowflakes. I'm hoping he comes in soon as wet cat smells horrible!

    Doesn't look like I'll be going anywhere so I'm going to do a Mrs PG and Mrs B list:

    • Pot up some seedlings and cuttings [that's why I moved the compost to the back door]
    • Housework - hoover, clean floors and air the duster
    • Make some bread
    • Declutter at least 15 items

    I have plenty of food in the house. Yesterday I made a casserole base from butternut squash. There is enough for a chilli, veggie shepherds pie and a portion with dumplings. Plenty of veg for soup and luckily I bought the milk yesterday, ah yes, the milk......:o

    I hover around the greenfingers board and someone said Lidl had some perennials on offer, very cheap. Luckily I don't have a Lidl near me, so no temptation. However, there is a Lidl very near the doctors. Remember I had to go and collect my tablets? Oh thinks I, I'll pop in Lidl and pick up the milk I need and a six pack of tiny perennials and a dark red dahlia and a chocolate bar....:o:o

    The heating is on until I get dressed. I'll turn it off for a while whilst I work. Doubtless it will be back on later until it's time to wrestle the throw from Colin again.
