Definitely time to reinstall the electric blanket…

Watching the cat snoozing under the heater while I force myself to go outside for an hour of lunch break exercise in the cold.

I wonder if I should buy one of those electric throws from K-mart when I can afford one.

I haven't owned any soert of electric blanket before but I figure it'd be nice to be on the couch with one.

the electric throw on the couch is good as! I brought the mrs one from kmart for mothers day last year and it got a fair workout all winter.

I’m definitely thinking about it next week.

Do they work well and get really warm? Or anything that might be worth taking note of?

I am in a love hate relationship with my electric blanket. Love the warmth in winter, but it’s a bit lumpy and stiff. The warmth wins out though. Can someone invent a soft breathable electric blanket please. Agree it’s almost time to put it back on, nights are getting chilly!

Same and the control thingy is always too close to where I lie on the bed.
