Preparing for Winter

Confuzzled

we have snow predicted here for tomorrow, friday and saturday and we're all sooooo excited! mind you i wouldn't be if the place wasn't so cozy and warm!

i'll be heading to the west coast for christmas though so i think my hopes for a white christmas are probably doomed, but it's still nice to know we're getting some lovely white flakes in December at least :T

Nuttybabe , on www.instructables.com someone recently posted a really simple pattern for making fleece pjs. If you search i'm sure you'll find it.

OMg got a thermal door curtain, what a difference, investing in a few more, as these really are an investment in my opinion, spend a little now , but save some money in the long run

Its Bitter here but the suns out .It was reading 9 in my conservatory and dinning room yesterday we took the doors out between .Drawing the curtain accross helps a lot .Today i have drawn them back and the sun is making it lovely and warm.Heating still only on in evening very low .I cant believe how well i've done this year i hate the cold .Mind you i do work 4on 4 off night shift so i am in bed 4 days which helps OH likes heating in evenings he dosnt feel the cold if he put a sweat shirt on instead of sitting in a T- Shirt we could proberly turn heating off in evening .Has anybody not put theres on ast all yet

Well the snow has started here, am waiting for my logs to be delivered. Wont be soon enough by the looks of things. Warm Front still not out to do my draughtproofing. Knowing my luck it will be the summer before they come!

Been snowing here on and off all day. Too stubborn to go out and fetch logs to make a fire so I'm freezing! Wrapped in 2 blankets with 3 snoozing dogs and an annoyed cat. Brr! Heating is off as my parents ect are out and I'm the only one home. Lit some candles which seem to be helping a little.
