Electric blanket Season.
 

Well its coming that time again whereas I re fit my electric blanket (shiver).

They are superb, ya can’t beat having the option of being able to jump streght into a nice warm bed and also being able to put your feet straight to the bottom rather than having to curl up into the Fetal Position and having your head under the quilt for 15 minutes while you warm up. Hehe
I don’t have central heating, waste of money

Tight git .... must make a note if ever visiting Len to wear me thermal socks, thermal vest, woolly scarf and nose warmer.

No, don't have electric blanket ... waste of money !! would wake up in middle of night when gone cold and if in your house, no central heating to compensate.:( Great to walk around in the warmth to go to loo and back without the shivers, etc. :D

Re: Electric blanket Season.
 

:rofl38: oh dear Len you luck is out there - no sleepovers at yours then:eek: :D

Re: Electric blanket Season.
 

I'd rather have central heating than an electric blanket but our boiler has been on the blink ever since that gas man 'serviced' it. It was working fine before then. :(

Re: Electric blanket Season.
 

Give me my hottle wattle bottle any day.

Re: Electric blanket Season.
 

They go cold half way during night towards morning !!

Re: Electric blanket Season.
 

Love mine!! Best buy ever! It took me over 5 year to convince mthead to get one. It was only when I threatened that if I couldn't have one the dog was coming in bed with us for extra heat, that he gave in. ;)

BRB best go and put it on so it's warming :D

Re: Electric blanket Season.
 

Yeah, I throw it out after an hour or so. It's just there to warm me up and I have the nice warm man for the rest of the night anyway.:D

Re: Electric blanket Season.
 

Yeah me too, I suggested the dog first to test the water ;) .... I'd have suggested 2 men next :D ....... well they do suggest you wear more layers when it's cold ;)

Re: Electric blanket Season.
 

Re: Electric blanket Season.
 

my hubby is like my elactric blanket he is always warm so i always try to get him to go to bed first in winter so he can warm the bed lmao

Re: Electric blanket Season.
 

I never need an electric blanket, as i tend to be the opposite. I really warm naturally, i even sleep with the bedroom window open in winter.

:eek:

Re: Electric blanket Season.
 

Sadley same here, prefer it cold to warm. Does that mean I am weird?????

Re: Electric blanket Season.
 

I often have to kick the quilt off during the night because i'm too warm. My girlfriend never seems to complain though.

:)

Re: Electric blanket Season.
 

Yes, but that's not the only reason! :eek:

Re: Electric blanket Season.
 

I love my electric blanket and getting into a warm bed. Even though I switch it off before I go to sleep, my bed never goes cold in the night.... It's lovely..:D

Re: Electric blanket Season.
 

Well thats ok I think. :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

Re: Electric blanket Season.
 

Does anyone wear socks to bed lol

Re: Electric blanket Season.
 

No I am like you!! I have to get into a cold bed and warm it up. Can't get to sleep if the bed is already warm.

Re: Electric blanket Season.
 

Now, Slinky .. said you weren't sleeping anyway at the moment .. perhaps that's it then, letting Ginger in first who warms it up ;)

Re: Electric blanket Season.
 

Hmmm but I would have to wait for him to get in from work and he don't get in til about 3:30am lol.

Re: Electric blanket Season.
 

Never used one, I like as little as possible I get hot as it is without one.

Re: Electric blanket Season.
 

Oh yeh, never thought about that .. re. his job, back to the drawing board then.

Re: Electric blanket Season.
 

Lol.........anyway! I have slept like a baby for 2 nights....so FINGERS CROSSED my body has sorted itself out and got itself a routine again lol.

Re: Electric blanket Season.
 

Even here in Australia I have a blanket, I,ve gone soft, I can,t imagine a English Winter now, My wife tells me I would walk round town with just a T shirt on, no jacket, We have even invested on a heat lamps for when we come out the shower,couldn' t live without them now.
So when your nice and warm over there, think about us suffering winter,
And I'll spare a thought for you lot now,

Re: Electric blanket Season.
 

I can't believe that you ladies haven't luxuriated in the warmth of a bed with an electric blanket.Every female deserves to be warm whenever or wherever she want's.I am even using mine here in Australia at the moment,It is the best thing I ever got for my home brew.Church Boy

Re: Electric blanket Season.

Like most people of my age (old getting on for ancient) we were lucky if we had just a coal fire downstairs that helped to keep the birds warm as they clustered around the chimney but didn’t do a great deal for the house apart from the room that the fire was in - if you could get close to it. So we grew up going to bed with frost on the bedroom windows – on the inside, with only a shared hot water bottle to battle the cold with. However it did encourage us not to linger whilst going to bed and getting up.

I used to use an electric over blanket until a few years ago when I gave it up. Why? Because my two rooms centrally heated flat decreed that it was unnecessary. Today’s winters are nowhere near as cold as they were 60 years ago nor do they last as long but my bedroom is never cold today. Not even on the coldest days/nights.

I do have a hot water bottle but I have never used it in bed. Just occasionally it will be placed behind my back when I’m sat watching TV. The warmth seems to alleviate the aches and pains in my back and kidney.

Re: Electric blanket Season.
 

My daughter still has her fan on at night If I turn it off when I go to bed I can guarantee she will have woken up during the night and switched it back on. You would think I had the heating on all night but I don't !!

Re: Electric blanket Season.
 

We have central heating but its the biggest load of tripe i ever came across! and its not working at the moment i dunno whats wrong with it! Thats how rebecca came to sleeping in my bed until she was about 2 and wouldnt leave my room until she was at least 3 in winter it was that cold when she was a baby her hands would go blue i felt so bed and used to bring her into bed with us to keep her warm and she kinda liked it there all snug n warm.

We just got a oil filled radiator at the weekend and its really good oh and some nice warm pjs for us all and we woke up lovely and toasty the other day.

Re: Electric blanket Season.
 

I have one of those halogen heaters in the bedroom just to take the chill of the air;put it on about half an hour before bed! Then the ridiculously heavy duvet takes care of the cold;it's about 40 togs ;just right for me as I have the coldest hands and feet of any human being! I hate winter !

Re: Electric blanket Season.
 

Don't forget folks if your leccy blanket is more than three years old get it checked out at a service centre, age concern usually set a free inspection station up at this time of year.

Re: Electric blanket Season.
 

Oh, that's a shame Mummiboo .. was listening to a discussion lunch (about us pensioner's getting the heating allowance actually) and an expert remarked that if the house is still not warm with all heating units going, could be to do with the insulation, loft, walls, etc and all gets lost. When it is working correctly .. nowt like it.

Re: Electric blanket Season.
 

Electric blanket AND central heating. I hate being cold, but I do feel the cold more than most. And yes, I remember waking up in winter with frost on the inside of the window - never had a fire in the bedroom unless you were at death's door. I'm sure we are a lot softer than we were, and probably more subject to bugs because of it, but I do like my warm home and my warm bed (and the warm man helps, as well!).

Re: Electric blanket Season.
 

I thought I could survive in this house without cental heating, and just a solid fuel stove to heat it.

By the time it got to December, I was fed up with shovelling coal and the heating was in.:)

Re: Electric blanket Season.
 

Thinking about getting an
electric blanket, can you still feel the wires under them or have they been updated now and not like they used to be.
( Princess and the pea) springs to mind here) I just hate it when there are bits in the bed and I can feel the smallest of crumbs ( not that I eat biscuits in bed)
Mind you if ever I got broke into in the middle of winter, I am sure I would give the burglar a heart attack… I have been known to wear strange things to keep warm: ( no comment needed, that would be far too much information : ;-)

Re: Electric blanket Season.
 

Do you mean cotton ones or the latex type ;)

Re: Electric blanket Season.
 

socks, hat, wooly jumper and gloves :-)
