    Good news that your cold is easing, Helen:T

    Well done to all money-savers:beer:. I'm lagging behind (as usual) but will try harder, honest.

    Don't worry carbootcrazy, we are not in competition with each other. We are all thrilled at any amount that anyone saves. Keep going, all the p's soon turn into £'s :D

    My throw has arrived and is wonderful. I'm all nice and toasty - although the cats have stolen half of it :rotfl:
    I really don't like the cold at all...... always dread the onset of the winter. Love the sound of your throw - what's it called please ??


    Chucked some shrapnel at the pot, found in my purse when looking for a tip for delivery chap


    Hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday

    It's a Pifco PE151 luxury heated throw. Cost me £43.99 on Amazon with free delivery on prime.

    I was torn between this one (which is cream) and the Relaxwell by Dreamland (chocolate) which is a few £ cheaper but was unfortunately out of stock when I ordered yesterday.

    In stock now, though. Bloody typical :rotfl:

    Anyway the pifco is lovely and has 5 heat settings on it. Shove it on 5 to start with to warm up and then you really only need on 1 or 2 once it gets going. Good size as well. Could probably use it as a top blanket on a double bed.

    The £1.30+ is going to be put into my holding pot.
    I realised I potted all my change last week in my un-openable tin and needed change the day after!!
