Can't believe it was a year since Ros was telling us about the blankets with sleeves in (for keeping snug while watching tv, knitting etc etc) that she had bought people for Christmas.

I see they are now in the Betterware (and Kleeneze too I think) catalogues, price £19.99

I think they would be quite easy to make from fleece fabric or an old blanket or two.

Slankets.....

I was just about to order one Liz -)))...I have one 'without' sleeves and it is great as a throw...easy to wash too

Morning Liz and Susan

I nearly ordered one from my Kleeneze lady then didn't as the weather was still warmish. Think I'll give her a ring later and get one now the weather's turned and there's talk of frost.

Note to self: Must plan ahead more

ps How are you Liz, been thinking of you

I have several throws but these ones have the sleeves so easier to do other things while 'wearing' them. I saw one had pockets for your feet too but I have my lovely fleecy indoor boots that I got last Christmas - .o.h. paid for them for me, £15 at Bhs - and they keep my feet and ankles lovely and warm and draught free in this cold house.

Book scene? (cheap high street bookshop anyway) has them for about £5

The bookshop that sells cards & books, wrapping paper etc, they are in lots of high streets

omg i thought u meant old fashioned eiderdowns in wales, !!!!
fathers donkey jacket on the bed,


not us personally but its an old welsh joke from the valleys,

however i did see the blankies mentioned in betterware book yesterday,
it said cosy blanket , and women was sat in it like a dressinggown!!!!!!

to me you share a blanky you cant share that tho

A shawl over my knees like a real Grannie, feels very comforting. Dont sit long enough between visits to the small room to get wrapped up in a slanket!

you go out in car too with blankie on you legs,

you be waving like the queen next, :-))

I would be a bit worried about jumping up to answer the phone/door or something and forgetting my feet were tucked in lol

Thanks, Barb, I am ok, just having to think about what to feed o.h. now he is diagnosed diabetic, can't just shove any old grub into him now lol

Lizx

Glad you're alright Liz, you take care. You've made me smile, I've now got a picture in my head of you covered in your blanket hopping to answer the door, it looks very fetching though lol.
Have a good day

O.h. says they have some plain ones in our local Budgens store, previously Somerfield, for £10 so going to have a look later.
Will be hopping mad if they have sold out Barbra lol

Looked at the ones in Budgens yesterday evening and they come in red, blue or black, so have ordered a black one from o.h. as a Christmas pressie!

Lizx

The Radio Times this week has them at £14+. Cheaper than any round here.

OH just ordered 2 today for son and daughter .£ 12.95 reduced from £24 .99.

Jane, where did your o.h. order those ones from, please?

Lizx

A friend sent me a link (Canadian) to receive one of these blankets as a new product offer, I responded so we'll see if it turns up, if so I'll get the kids to give it to me for Xmas!! They came in royal blue, sage green and burgundy. Can't remember which colour I picked.LOL but ordered 3 so Meg and Colleen can each have one too.
I feel warmer already.
