to NOT want a SLANKET for christmas?!

[DanJARMouse]

DH has let it slip that my dad has bought me a SLANKET for christmas (check out lakeland catalogue....)

Now, Im not the ungrateful type - everyone who knows me will know that, but I cant help but feel its a bit of a rubbish present, especially from my dad who usually chooses so well!

Past presents from my dad have included Spa Day vouchers, DVDs and CDs I want and a digital camera, so I know he is capable.

I feel like a right bitch for being a little pissed off about it, but DH just keeps saying I will probably love it when we move to the Scottish Highlands after christmas..... but its a naff present isnt it?!

really Skegness? Defintiely getting one then - so do you feed through the armhole?

I'd like one too, and it's a really thoughtfull gift if you are moving to the Highlands

Oh I want one of these too - always get myself in a tangle with the blanket I have at the moment

pmsl! I'd need a v long snakey boob for that. It's quite thick fleece so wouldn't roll back so that a breast could be proferred through the armhole. No- I just take it half off so we're half slanketted, half blanketted, I guess, iyswim.

I'm loving the idea of a nursing slanket - now't worse than having bits uncovered at 4am in December. I'm going to put a slanket on my wish list . Thank you MN for giving me the courage

I don't want one either! (Just in case DH is reading this)

Oh, dear.

I would love one and the only thing stopping me is the certainty that DH would fall off the couch laughing.

You are an ungrateful mare. Send it to me.

me too
your long snake boob is going to have me laughing at the middle of the night feed - i blame you for waking dd

27 not 47?

what, is 47 like, really ancient or something

sorry got skegness & sassybeast mixed up!

I have to say, I looked at the link and thought 'I want one' (I'm only 27 as well)
It looks so cosy. Plus I could do Yoda impressions. Fab
DP isn't getting me a birthday present this year (again ) maybe I'll suggest this...

snug blanket? If you are moving to the scottish highlands you will love that prezzie in the winter!

OP, I'm with you. I think that although it looks cosy, if I really wanted one, I'd get one myself. I'd rather my presents from other people were a bit more glam (which can help me with the illusion that I appear really glam to the outside world!). xx

and yes mrsboogie 47 is ANCIENT! Didn't you know??!!

Anyone thinking of buying one of these - the official Lakeland Slankets are, I think, £29.99. JML do exactly the same thing for £14.99.

I. Want. One.

ok ok ok

im an ungrateful bint!

I will probably learn to love it..... but i guess in my world, I just think a fleece blanket for 4.99 would do the same job LOL

I like the idea of thinking its a hug from my dad - moving 700 miles away from him is gonna be mega hard!

and appologies of the "47" remark - it just looks something my mum would wear (she's dead, and would be 53 now had she not died)

fingers crossed i do love it..... and he buys me the DS game I really want!!!

Oh yikes!

that is hideous!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do not want one either thank you very much anyone who knows me.

And I am 47.

My mum and step dad have one each. They also have a big slipper each

OMG LOL at the double slanket AHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAAA!

i don't want one, and i don't blame you!!

i am 40

But it's polyester. Surely you get really hot and sweaty? Yuck.
