Louise Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Oh dear freerange never mind If its any consolation the worst birthday present I ever got was a spring cleaning kit (complete with rubber gloves) from my MIL. Do you think she was trying to tell me something Have a good day and HAPPY BIRTHDAY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Happy Birthday FR! You're obviously not too old - when you get older you will find you don't need the electric blanket! I haven't used mine for three winters now That's being old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 I've always had an electric blanket. Comes out every Winter and I love it. Old or not, you can't beat a warm bed when it's cold outside. HAPPY BIRTHDAY FR Lots of warm toes to you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clare* Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 (edited) I was so cold after lunchtime in the playground yesterday I got back into bed. I took a cup of tea, a scone and my laptop. Now having an electric blanket would be great I am really lucky and have a superking size bed. Its really high off the ground. It's soooo big and snuggly. The duvet I have is impossable to lift on your own it is so heavy. I love going to bed Edited November 24, 2005 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 I love my bed too, & I would adore an electric blanket to cosy up to. Hubby has promised me a 6 foot oak bed next year. I am not holding my breath Happy Birthday Freerange, & many more of them too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Oh what I'd give for a Kingsize Bed. My hubby is such a fidget in bed, by the time morning rolls round I'm squished to the end with no covers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 I love my bed too. When I get in at night I always say "Hello bed, I've missed you !". I've also got lots of duvets, quilted bedspreads and blankets on it. You need to be a weight lifter to make our bed!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clare* Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 (edited) Gina a super king size bed is what you need. It's 6ft wide I can lay one side with my arm stretched out. My husband can do the same,we only just tough fingers Its great. I had the same problem as you waking up with no covers. Not any more Edited November 24, 2005 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beauty-Box Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 When my husband asked me what I wanted for christmas I said an electric blanket, But he said he'd be too hot. I told him he could always sleep on the sofa . He said a boob job was too expensive Love from Rebecca and the girls.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Happy birthday FR We have a big bed, but cuddly, snuggly, OH still sleeps on my side shares my pillow and I hang on the edge for dear life as I can't bear to poke him. Love is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 When my husband asked me what I wanted for christmas I said an electric blanket, But he said he'd be too hot You can buy them with separate heated sides Rebecca, so you can control which side gets heated, his or hers, or both! We've got one, works a treat. I'd go back and ask him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 I love my leccy blanket; Phil only stays over at weekends, so the bed is cold most of the time if I don't put it on. I just love getting into my bed too - it's only a double, but I have a kingsize duvet. When he does stay, Phil keeps to his own side and doesn't snore or any of that nasty boy stuff, he does radiate heat , though and keeps me warm. Rosie is impossible to sleep with, like an epileptic octopus; she sleeps across the bed and thrashes around! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beauty-Box Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Thanks Gina, I didn't know you could get electric blankets with seperate controls. I will ask him again. Oh forgot to say Happy birthday to FR. Have a good one chuck . I must add I'm jelous about the electric blanket. Love from Rebecca and the girls. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 We have a Superking size bed as well and we each have a duvet - saves any cold draughts - I love my bed We have the his and hers electric blanket as well - I might want it back one day, it's been in the wardrobe for three winters.

red Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 I couldn't bear an electric blanket - I get really hot as it is in my goosedown duvet - it only takes seconds to get all warm and snugly (especially when spooning ) I really LOVE bed! I DO however like my heated seats in the car - these are a new discovery for me having treated myself to a brand new car last month - the heated seats are sooooo lovely at this time of year and especially with all this cold weather I can't bear being overly hot and don't like hot dry air blowing on me - so the seats are great cos you can have the air cooler but the seats toasty hot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel (& Paul) Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 We cant have an electric blanket - we have a water bed!! Its an American Queen Size (which means King Size UK!) and we have a lovely silk duvet from China - light but really warm. I also have a snuggly fleece that I pull up when its really chilly. I am sitting here at the moment, the doggles are in their basket all snuggly warm and snoring, and I think the bed is calling to me............
