I'd turned on my heated blanket in bed, and popped downstairs to finish laundry etc. and went back upstairs to glide into my lovely pre-heated and toasty side if the bed....and DH had turned if off after tidying the bedroom 😭😭😭😭

It’s half past 8. Are you 6 years old?

Not everyone lives in the UK.

Not everyone works 9-5.

Not everyone is well.

Not everyone rests in the living room.

Not everyone is you.

I am just about to go upstairs, hop into my lovely heated bed, and luxuriate in reading my book in glorious warmth and quiet. I'm 59.

I'm assuming he thinks that it is a fire hazard and not worth keeping on if you aren't using it at that moment as it's wasting electricity?

Electric blankets aren't a fire hazard and they barely use any power. He was just being a knob over zealous.

for PP - I put ours on 30 minutes ago and we are planning on getting in it very soon! Lush early night after a very busy few days.

This is absolutely LTB territory. I will hold you in my thoughts. Don't fuck with my electric blanket.

I'm 45. Got into bed at half past 8. I'm tired. It's been a busy few days, plus I'm up at 5 to take DC to swim club.

StarboysMum · 27/12/2023 20:58

Luckily my blanket was on when I climbed in. DH is out!

Are you always a fun sponge?

I’m 45 and I bloody love my heated blanket at 6am when I start work on a cold morning. Then DD pinches it from me at 8am when she gets up. The heating then goes on, but it’s a lifesaver when your just sat there and it’s too early to start lighting fires or cranking the heating up.

Hoglet70 · 27/12/2023 21:05

That's unreasonable behaviour. LTB.
I have been known to go to bed at seven with a hot water bottle so I am feeling this!

Gnomegarden32 · 27/12/2023 21:57

I am 37 and have spent the day in bed alternately sleeping and eating cake

Oh and LTB obviously!

Deathraystare · 28/12/2023 15:03

@StarboysMum

Don't ever feel the need to explain to anyone else why you were going to bed at whatever time. I am assuming you do not live in North Korea where everything is dictated! Sometimes it is great to go to bed early and without getting someone else's permission too! I would just be dead jealous if you can sleep through the whole night. I cannot I get up several times for the loo plus suddenly wake right up and have to look at you tube/a book/whatever for a few hours.

Theredfoxfliesatmidnight · 28/12/2023 15:12

Strangle him with it

MrsDanversGlidesAgain · 28/12/2023 16:32

What's wrong with going to bed at 8.30pm? I often do when it's cold and dark and I have a lot of reading to catch up on. A book, a warm bed, a cup of tea and biscuits.

Oh - and LTB.

So fucking what?

How does me going to bed at 8:30 affect you?

I'll go to bed whenever I please.

An 8:30 bed time sounds like heaven

AFewScrewsLucy · 28/12/2023 21:43

Tonight it was left on... Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh

Jesus this is grounds for divorce and something my DP does as thinks it’ll go up in flames if left on for more than half an hour 🙄

Alwaystired23 · 28/12/2023 22:43

I'm in bed with mine on now. It's the best thing ever.

Tumbleweed101 · 28/12/2023 23:05

I couldn't do heated beds these days, I have a over zealous internal heating system!

I went to bed about 8 last couple nights to read though. Was lovely.

Thanks @deathraystare. Your comment has empowered me. We don't always need to justify our behaviour.
