    I've seen those long fleece sleep suit things in the clearance area of TJ Hughes a couple of weeks back. Not seen them anywhere else, and I'm sure they were in adult sizes :confused:
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    I went in to Primark yesterday and they have the fleece blankets reduced down to £1

    The weather is also here,we have took the dogs out and its freezing so the kids are now chilling wathing TV with hot choc and fleece blankets over them

    Very proud of myself i would normally stick the heating on :eek:

    Thanks, was just thinking I need some new ones for this winter (and a few extra...with the price of gas and electric) Will pop in tomorrow and pick a few up. Hope my local one has reduced them too.

    Thanks for sharing

    I'm sat here in the South East, with a fleece blanket over my knees and legs.

    OH has gone to visit his elderly Mum.

    I'm still in my pyjamas, to be quite honest!

    I've got a big fleecy blanket on the back of my chair and snuggled into it on Saturday night instead of putting the heating on
  • I will not put the heating on in august!!! Maybe we will have an Indian summer??
