Opinions please !

Post by diamond lil »

I get paid on Monday, the fabulous (monthly) sum of £200. What should I spend it on? what would you spend it on? Should I get a new electric blanket that we desperately need or should I stuff it under the matttress or should I buy more food or or or...? I dono how multi millionaires cope. I'm knackered trying to decide ! :mrgreen:

Buy the blanket, you say you need it. Any spare goes into your winter preps.

If it were me; I'd do the above except I don't use electric blankets :lol:
Two is one and one is none, but three is even better.

Leccy blanket sounds good until you get your frequent power cuts Lil.
How about some more coal, bottled gas and food (and a couple more hot water bottles... :D )

Get some more hot water bottles. Then you won't have to fight. And you can knit hot water bottle covers too.

You can get fleece type blankets that keep you nice and toasty in the bed combined with your natural body heat - that way if electricity cuts out its not a problem and doesn't add to your electric bills

Buy a little prep/winter food - save the other half - I dont suggest you spend all :)
