Preparing for Winter V

Our local Cancer Research shop has been selling these as well.  Cheaper than we could buy elsewhere.

We haven't put ours back on the bed yet as still not cold enough here.

I have been putting the blanket in the bed between the sheet and the duvet to have on for about 30 mins before bed to take the edge of, but thanks to the menopause once I'm in bed I'm boiling so still in my 3 tog guvet - tried to move to the 6 tog and we were both sweating buckets. Have set thermostat down to 17 as noticed it had been coming on the odd morning and haven't found the house cold once - so it turns out there is at least one benefit from it!

DS tried to claim it was cold - he was in a t-shirt - said until he had a decent jumper on and was still cold he had no grounds to complain. Turns out he'd just woken up, it was 11 degrees outside and he's still sleeping under just a sheet - he soon warmed up!

Taking DD to uni tomorrow, she's got a single duvet as her bed looks like a small single (thankfully she's only 5ft 3) but she has a big sherpa blanket and heated throw as back up
