abwsco Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 I've always wanted a woolen duvet after seeing them on the dream farm show with monty don - didnt know they existed prior to that. Just checked that link....and might have to see if I can afford next wednesday (payday) as that seems an amazingly cheap offer price. thanks! When I started looking at them I wanted one of the Baavet ones but didn't want to spend loads incase we didn't find it any good. Wonder if they were the ones on Monty's show Oh, and Dawsons sometimes have money off codes around as I got our King size one for £54. Worth looking on MSE and elsewhere to see.

The Dogmother Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Thanks for the link - I may well get one when I get the spare room/bed sorted as I will need a new duvet for in there. I always have a king-sized one on my double bed so there are now cold bits around the edges. There's generally only me, so I heap it up and snuggle underneath.

Shirl Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 I'm tempted by the wool duvet but as ours is fine it would be a bit wasteful. Our heating was on this morning from 6.30-7.30. I found DD1 in her bedroom with the window wide open! I was not happy. I think I'll turn her radiator off and lock the window. I don't know how a child of mine can be so hardy. She still wears her summer dresses at home when it's about 17 degrees indoors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cally stop posting and looking at links.... you should be resting or asleep.

A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Why is it that 18 degrees indoors feels chilly but 18 degrees outdoors feels balmy and springlike?! We are maintaining a heating-on baby-friendly 18 degrees indoors and I'm goosebumpy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miffy Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 11 outside, 17 inside = heating on only 2nd time this year so not too bad, set to 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 We have finally succumbed and the heating is on. Low upstairs to take the chill off and the downstairs heater on for a bit in the morning and the evening. I have also used up all our candles - its amazing how much heat they give off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted October 21, 2010 Author Share Posted October 21, 2010 Just how many candles are you burning at the moment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 weeell . . . . 6 on the candleabra, 4 on the fireplace and many, many tea lights! In my defence, we only had a few left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallyChook Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 we have candles in our lounge and on warmer winter days they will warm it up a treat so no need for a fire Babies and 18 degrees, I have to think that's all a bit odd, my grobag egg thermometer tells me we're too warm in here with the fire, but I still feel cold! How could a lil tiny baby not feel chilly too?! *makes note to chuck thermometer into bin and just go with what feels right* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abwsco Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Well, I've caved in and put a couple of rads on in the house for a short time. I decided enough was enough when even though I had on a tshirt, jumper, body warmer, scarf, jeans, sheepskin boots and gloves on I was still cold!!!!

lillybettybabs Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 I caved in and let OH have it on for an hour last night (i felt guilty for shrinking his fleeces), Had to open the bedroom window though and turn the rad off, can't stand stuffy rooms.

Oh, our bedroom window is still open at night and the rad is never on in there unless it's baltic and needs a warm in the day. I'll go around tonight turning the rads off I've put on today as well.

We also sleep with the window open all year round - shut it in the morning and open it when OH comes to bed - I like it shut in case of flying insects when I am reading my book! Like the rest of the house toastie though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallyChook Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 We've got oil! Central heating bliss going on in our house, 500litres of kerosene in the tank and we're feeling toasty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aunty e Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 I go away for three days and OH burns all the wood I've brought in and doesn't bring in any more! What a rotter. Now I have to try and light a fire with damp wood. Grumble. Haven't been able to find a big fireguard yet, so we've mostly been lighting the fire after madam has gone to bed at 8.30, but she doesn't seem to have any interest in it when it is lit. Obviously we would never leave her unaccompanied in the living room when it's on, but I'm a bit bemused given how much she likes playing in the hearth when the stove isn't lit.

Daphne Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 I'd be giving him a stern lecture! We made a discovery on Tuesday when it was bitter here. Despite altering the thermo the house wasn't getting much warmer. There is a dial on our boiler from 1 to 5 and I have no idea what it does. It was at less than 1 which OH said must have happened by accident so he turned it up (to 4). Not sure if its a coincidence but we do now have a warmer house. And scalding water so I've turned it down again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Think I've missed out this thread Not meee We don't really have heating in halls, just rubbish old electric radiators that don't work - the kitchen is cold 'till the ovens on. The windows here only open a couple of inches + I normally sleep with it open 'cos the air goes all rank + stuffy if not. Someone put the radiator on with a towel over ... set on fire ... evacuate + get the fire brigade! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
