Preparing for Winter

I've been thinking about doing something similar my self with an old quilt,it's a good way to use up old clothes rather than giving them away and a nice worthwhile activity too. Very good idea larmy :cool:

Wilkinsons seem to be an English store, but I see they have online ordering. What is the cling filmy stuff called so I can find it in the site ? I did try afew searches but I never find things I'm looking for.. I just got self stick envelopes !

Their search function is rubbish! I couldn't find it on there either. However, I googled the term *double glazing film* and this site was one that came up. http://www.foxdiy.co.uk/fixtures-fittings/draught-excluders/cat_162.html

Au Naturale in Leven had it a couple of weeks ago, the shop is still open because they were taken over, and they have a lot of B&M products now (another chain we don't have up here!). Where in Scotland are you mardatha?

Thanks to whomever first mentioned the Asda smartprice fleece blankets. I have just amended my order to include a chocolate coloured one. (£1.77 online. If its any lower when it arrives I'll let you know.)

Have also added a radiator airer so that if we are only drying a few bits we don't whack the tumble dryer on.

Just skim read this post, its lovely. I am preparing for winter so far by
- arranging for my boiler to be serviced this week
- sorting out wardrobes to make the warmer clothes more accessable
- bought my DS a brilliant like new coat at car boot for £1.50, he is only 16 months old so it should fit him by winter, its wool and its like a duffle coat.
- check out my own winter coat, not had a new one for years and I hate it
- planning winter garden
