    I just replied in the swagbucks thread.

    although I will add that my daughter is still sleeping with a light blanket rather than a duvet so that's not essential till its gets really cold.. but then she can always wear warm pj's and have a hot water bottle! (Also Asda do a value single duvet for only £6)
