I would hate to be dramatic but there are some things in life that make me a proper grumpy socks. As a friend once said
“Tired Fizzy = nowty* Fizzy. Hungry Fizzy = nowty Fizzy.”
You can add to the list of things that make me grumpy being cold. I am not my best self when I’m cold. Bit’s me turn blue and I do a great human icicle impression. It’s a fetching look. Some of my attempts to combat the cold are equally attractive. I’m writing this in bed, wearing two pairs of socks, striped neon pyjamas and a devastatingly stylish fleece tartan hooded dressing gown. Cue the wolf whistles, this look is sexy.
As always, I do not come here to merely whine about my coldness, oh no. I come here to help you combat such a problem if it should befall you.
Direct heat is your answer and old school is the way to go. This hot water bottle is brilliant and thanks to its neoprene jacket it will still be warm in the morning. It’s not cheap but my first one lasted years so the cost per use is good.
Next step is pure Nana. You want this electric blanket. Don’t ask questions, just buy it. It’s a fleece so soft to sleep on. It has dual controls so if you share a bed and your partner is one of those strange people who throw off the covers if they are too warm they can have it on a lower setting or turned off. You can use it to warm the bed so you are never faced with a cold sheet again or you have on for 9 hours. Bliss.
I can also highly recommend a small fuzzy dog for warmth but he’s not allowed on the bed** so I cannot attest to his warming skills.
*nowty is a Northern word for grumpy. The Fizzy is educational.
**he may have been on the bed but for short periods only and I was very angry about it, honest my darling husband.
