LATEST MOAN FROM YOU AND ME - 2021

Are public toilets still shut?
So I can go wandering off to S. Africa but I'm not allowed to have a pee?

 

I was looking online a while back and you can still buy broken biscuits.

There was a shop in the town I used to work, known locally as The Cheap Shop, and it sold them also.
I think they had a bloke out the back breaking them.

 

Unbelievable!! On the news today they were talking about the forthcoming increase in our heating bills this winter...and this woman had a moan saying ' I've always said that if I have to wear a cardigan indoors then that not right!'

Is there something I'm missing here.. am I the only one who gradually layers up and adjusts their wardrobe to the change in temperatures!!

 

We use to go and buy some on the way home from school.

 

She's obviously got money to burn!

 

Too true @Sheal . I wouldn't survive without my cardies, jumpers, thermals, vests, fleece socks , hot water bottle and snuggle blanket.....and that's for just relaxing in the evening!!!!

 

I couldn't wrap myself up with that lot @Upsydaisy but I do where fleeces. My feet are always cold this time of year no matter what's on them. Do you remember moon boots? They were the only things that ever kept my feet warm.

 

I don't sit still long enough to wrap myself up FC. These pooches know where they're well off though, both of my son's dogs and my daughter's one often snuggle up with a blanket.

Loki - one of my son's two.

I've got one of those that's used when we have guests. I have two separate duvets that are different togs for my own bed, but the the lighter one only makes it onto the bed for about a fortnight each year.

 

I've got a pile of old blankets that are in the garage, I use them to cover plants during the frosty winter nights.
Amongst them is some folded up garden fleece.
The ginger cat that visits me always curls up for a good long sleep on the fleece rather than the blankets, my thinking is that the fleece material when folded in multiple layers has a better thermal value than the blankets, and the cat knows it.

 

I think if our houses were properly insulated to a much higher standard, she would have a good point.
I'm with Insulate Britain on this, but sitting in the middle of the road on cold tarmac is not something I will be doing.

 

Garden fleece is a bit like polystyrene and holds the heat. Cats aren't stupid are they Pete?

 

In cold weather, over the years at work, its always been noticeable how warm a piece of bubble wrap was to sit on during lunch break.

 

Tongue in cheek @Sheal ....our house isn't really that cold.
But in the depth of winter I do like to snuggle up in the evening with my lovely blanket.

Yes I do remember Moon Boots, never had a pair though.
