Anyone got their heated throws or electric blankets out yet?

[caffelattetogo]

I know it’s not properly cold yet but I’m full of a cold and need something comforting. Is it too soon?

Yes, and I spotted Lakeland have their really good ones in the flash sale with free postage this weekend so I've bought one for the kids https://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/national/uk-today/26581917.lakeland-heated-underblanket-review---save-heating/

24 degrees in London and all the windows open so no, but that does remind me I must test my heated blanket.

My garden thermometer says 26 degrees and I’m in shorts and a t shirt

last thing on my Mind

Ooh I love those heated zone ones - missed the sale last year (they seem to go up to fill price as soon as the cold weather hits!). Tempted to grab one and pass ours on to DD.

Cracked mine open about a week ago! Chilly in the evenings oop north

It's 16C here in West Yorkshire with a chilly breeze and I was cold last night so the fleecy blanket has made an appearance!

“Feels like 13” here today - I deliberated the brushed cotton bedding when I stripped our bed this morning but stopped myself. Cats are thrilled the heated throw is on the go!

Yep, it's been about 7 overnight and 12 or so when I start working from home so my house has been cold and I've been putting my electric throw over my legs under my desk rather than using the heating. The washing is taking days to dry (and I usually do a load every day so that's a problem!), condensation on the windows every morning and we're all already wearing about 3 layers so it won't be long before the heating is put back on!

Yep, blanket out in the evenings, not the electric one yet. Only me, husband and son made of sterner stuff. Log burner and chimneys swept last week ready for action.

ha! Neighbours still have noisy AirCon running 24/7.

been cold all day think my heated throw may be rescued out of the wardrobe and i keep thinking about popping my blanket on on the bed save me getting into a chilly bed. i normally try and resist heated blankets and heaters until October but it does make me question that this year

Anyone got a heated throw they can recommend that doesn’t cost a fortune 😄

ill be honest, mine never go away!
in the warmest weather of the summer I slept under it but not switched on but I’ve just finished work and collapsed on my bed and switched it on for half an hour 😂
the thermostat in my room says it’s currently 24 degrees so pleasant, I know it’s not objectively cold but I run chillier than most (MJ has not helped) so could always do with a little extra heat. I’ve got 3 always plugged in; one on my bed, in my office and on the sofa.

I’ve got my heated throw on. It’s not that cold tbh but needs must 🤣. It brings me so much joy!

Whereabouts are you?? I’m guessing not south east

Currently 23 here, so no, and dug out my below- knee shorter trousers which I didn’t think I’d be wearing again this year.

26 here but I’m sat in my pants with all the windows open and I still have the heated blanket on for the dogs - they LOVE IT.

I've been in my Oodie in the evening the last week.

My blanket has been out all summer, is just not plugged in yet. I really feel the cold even in the summer so will still use it unplugged. Only time i didn't was during the heat wave.

Mine is from Lakeland avd this is its third year - it’s seriously wonderful

My throw is out, but not plugged in yet. I think within a month it will be. It’s around 9c overnight right now, but it won’t be long until it’s colder.

Thank you 😊 I’ll check out the website

I’ve had my hot water bottle in use all ‘summer’ 🥶

What?

I was walking around in a tshirt today and went and stood in the shade.
Its still 23' inside my house over night

There’s lots on the site. Please could you link to the one you recommend @caffelattetogo ? Thanks
