Can I have recommendations for heated fleeces or even usb ones ( are they any good? Do they even come in a decent size?). It's 22 degrees inside still. But like with the fan situation, it's time to plan ahead.

Also dehumidifiers please. I didn't get one in time last year.

I might also get one of those super rpm thingies to spin off washing. It's going to be a damp cold expensive winter ahead.

I really feel like this is going to be a expensive winter. But this might save money.

I bought a Dreamland Fleece last year. Expensive but warm. DD has stolen it.

I personally prefer a fluffy blanket and a hot water bottle. My bottle is an electric rechargeable one.

For basic room use i have two dehumidifiers that work very efficiently (one upstairs, one downstairs). These were the cheap Argos brand, Challenge, but I can't see them on their website anymore.

For drying the laundry/room i bought a Meaco laundry one and I must say it knocks the socks off the Challenge ones where drying the laundry is concerned. Very expensive though.

White Knight spinner.

Bit finicky getting it balanced. Need t

...need to wash things in pairs to get a balance.

Needs a 5 minute rest between spins

Does get things quite dry though. It was the only option when I needed it. Useful for hand washing clothes when the washing machine is broken.

Look at reviews for real life experience. Good luck!
