600 sponds for a farking blanket.

[hatwoman]

dh bought a new duvet recently - but it's very lightweight and I know it won;t be warm enough for me in winter. so i thought it was an ideal excuse to buy a nice blanket or throw. off I pop, aspirationally, to the White Co website and what do I find? who buys this stuff

Its looks like an itchy Pontins blanket.

I imagine it is lovely ... but not £600 lovely!

Blimey!

It is cashmere though.

back in Real Land. which do you prefer? this or this?

Definatly the first one - looks classier

I like the dusky blue.

hatwoman, I've got those on all our beds! Hasn't everyone!

I think so too kits and bits. our duvet cover is blue with a brown flower pattern on it. not sure whethe rto go for blue or beige. I think blue.

Definatly blue - it will look lovely with the brown

Tbh I'd go for a woollen blanket rahter than one made from man-made fibres. Have you tried John Lewis

for example, this one

ha ha ha at the blanket being natural on one side & ivory on the other. as if.....

the words "it's just a fucking blanket" spring to mind. what a waste of money

I love the "Tell a friend" button underneath it. Hey, have you seen? The White Company have blankets in and they are only 600 quid!!

you mean you're not buying it for me tamum .

You'll need about 25 for your new house hoxty, so it's the least I can do

how about The Wool Company?

[hi-jacking my own thread. hoxton and Tamum - are you going to the meet up at Christmas?]

hello hat, no, not going. can't face all the crowds........ are you?

tamum, haven't sold the house yet (i am the world's most impatient person....).

again, bit off topic, but what do you make of this compared to this

I haven't put my name down...but it was fun 2 years ago - i might be tempted

[I'm not I'm afraid- combination of shyness at meeting that many people and it being an awful long way. Would have liked to meet you though!]

Nice, that lotus stuff!

Hoxty, don't despair, it will sell

We should do a small, shy people meet-up or something?

I'm not small or shy, but I'd be happy to go along and be large and outgoing!

(I clicked on here because I was wondering what a 'farking' blanket was ... what made a blanket appropriate for farking ...)
