Will that do?
Very comfortable and really warm......really surprised at how warm it is. I have fitted a quilted mattress protector so that probably helps a bit. 15 tog duvet has gone back in the spare bedroom for now

Beanie is a star
But you already knew that. Thank you chuck....That should really help.
On other news
I reduced my Tesco Credit card limit soon after I got it :T
I then had to spend more than expected on flights and securing hotels
I have just tried to increase my limit
It's been refused.......on the grounds I chose to reduce my limit :wall::wall:
Have got a Halifax Clarity card accepted ....which allows me to draw cash at 0% with no additional charges
SO (formulating a plan in my head...)
I think I am going to take out £500 in dollars, pay £500 off Tesco card so I have about £800 available (make sure my direct debits won't take me over my O/D limit for the month) and pay /take cash out on the Halifax card.
Also going to research cheap things to do in Boston and San Francisco and apply precision recording of spending whilst over there.
Halifax card is about 18% on purchases so will have to watch that too.
Have got nothing planned for January and February except a pay rise so I hope that is okay. Will be spending the next few days reading terms and conditions in intricate detail.

Quite quiet at the moment....just got my head down. Painting rooms and sorting stuff for securing the house. Hope it stops raining (eventually) so I can get outside and put bolts on gate!
Have printed off all the hotel and flight details so just need to match them up to statements incase there is any dispute about what has been paid for. Have joined two social groups in San Francisco, one about beer :beer:
Now to research things to do in Boston (when I am not sleeping on the sofa! Sounds like a packed house!)
Went to see A Winter's Tale on Thursday at the cinema. Go if you can. There's another showing on 5th January (I will have just landed back on the day so thought my chances of sleeping through it were quite high!)
If someone can tell me how to post photo's I may put some up during December. I'm not putting any up on Facebook until I'm back so I'm not going :j:j:j:j:j:j "House over here to burgle".
Right, as ever, walls to paint!Debt LBM (08/09) £11,641. DEBT FREE APRIL 2021.
