    Although it is warmer here today at about 5 my feet are just freezing.
    Anyone got any tips on good quality slipper boots or slippers with a fastening ?

    Thanks in need.
    I am VERY hard on slippers and can't keep a lot of them on my feet.
    Sometimes I get a tad frustrated.
    When I had my nap earlier I had three pairs of socks on and a hot water bottle and feet still cold. :eek:

    Hello Beanielou. I wish you have a happy evening. Yes, these evenings feel very cold. I have a warm blanket wrapped over me. When I go to bed I will take my hot water with me. I like your idea of baby steps to pay of a mortgage. I am trying very hard to pay off my mortgage. I am allowed to pay up to £500 a month more than my direct debit. I have a Regular Saver to be able to do a lump sum payment. Good luck.

    I have always had "boots rather than slippers - found they stay on, have you tried

    Damart Thermolactyl boots - £20 on their black friday deal.

    http://www.damart.co.uk/C-243564-slippers

    OH also bought me wheat filled boot slippers - i can't walk in them but they do warm my feet up :rotfl::rotfl:
    As a dear MSE friend says “keep plodding” or
    What does the saying say.... When life hands you lemons, crack open the Gin......
    Or as my Mum would instil, brush yourself down, tomorrow is another day or
    Fake it, to you Make It

    Just catching up with you Beanie. Mr SA struggles with slippers and cold feet. As for me I only need one slipper at the moment :)
