Im the same! So comforting. We have a caravan on the north coast & I especially love hugging mine when sitting outside with a wee glass of vino in the evenings, hubby thinks Im nuts, prob right lol! Got one of those heat pads from argos, like a mini electric blanket, but it just isnt the same.

I don't know why I don't use a hot water bottle at home, (maybe because I don't have one? lol); when I went to stay with a DD for a few days she gave me one every night. I like to sleep on my front & she put it on my back, right where it hurts, I don't think I moved all night, it was lovely! Just why haven't I got one here I ask myself......? :doh:

Seriously get one or two KWC. But check where you get them from, some are better than others. If i've pain in my knees after working all day, it helps ease the pain, and my DD has fibro and has aches and pains everywhere, and the hot water bottle practically goes everywhere with her, even to work when she was really bad. It just so so eases everything .IMO he he

Of to bed with hot water bottle and a glass of vodka. Both wonderful ;0
I have a purple blanket with sleeves which came from Lakeland, I was given it for Christmas 2011. I don't know how it compares to the Slanket because I've never seen a Slanket 'in the flesh', but it's very cosy - I've been sleeping in it for weeks!! In fact that is where I should be right now! So goodnight, keep snuggled in your slankets everyone. :mysmilie_496:
Another Slanket (pink with white spots too) and hot water bottle "girl" here. Took it out of its bag the other night and put it on the bed - very nearly cooked overnight! Domino (spoilt white and grey Persian) takes command of it during the day. Really keeps you warm.

Whether you have a Slanket or use blankets or duvets or the like, keep warm. Plenty of hot drinks and keep safe.

It was reminiscent of a wintery itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polka dot bikini in our house last night

Trying to keep busy and not slump until the evening so I haven't tried mine out yet. I have the purple/ lilac one. They are really hard to fold neatly. Any tips please?

I haven't got a slanket but did try QVC when it got so cold last week,they are on waitlist, so on thursday I ordered a fleece with sleeves from Amazon £7.99 post free...it arrived this morning, it did seem rather thin but it is quite snuggle warm...
Ohh I love slanket topics:happy:
My daughter is doing her revision upstairs on my bed at the moment, so she can spread her books out, and is cocooned in a pink/purple reversable/foot muff slanket. I am wrapped up in my brown/leopard/reversable/foot muff slanket on the sofa downstairs watching cooking shows and dipping into QVC every now and then of course. My perfect Saturday morning.

I don't know how good I'll be at putting this into words but this is how I fold mine.
Put the 2 side seams together holding one hand near the hem and the other under the sleeve. Lie the slanket down I use the sofa, back of sofa or bed. Make sure the edges are all neat and tidy. I have feet pockets in my slanket so I fold the pocket area over twice. I then fold the sleeves over the chest, they're so long they'll fold over twice. Then fold the neck over the sleeves - this can be a bit of a faff as there's loads of material at the top. Now fold the sleeves/neck over again. You should now be able to fold the top bundle over the bottom bundle and have one very large squarish bundle. Mine lives in a footstool with a hinged lid - well just about! And hubbies slanket lives on a shelf in his wardrobe.
