What do you do to survive the cold

I have:

thermals
possum fur & silk scarf
Wooly gloves
A polar fleece blanket at work and at home
A feather duvet
A woollen underlay
An electric blanket
An electric heater

What about you?

I have an electric blanket that I always forget to put on, a heater downstairs that heats the whole house up, and is on a timer, and I havbe these really warm jerseys and arm myself with wooly hat, scarves etc.

Feather duvet etc, but it still doesn't keep me way warm on days like this.

There was ICE on my car this morning... I missed Mikko (Finnish student that boarded with me for a while I would drive him to work each day) he used to scrape it off for me!

I forgot to turn my electric blanket off last night, so when Ace came to bed at about 1.00am (I had gone to bed at about 10.00pm) I was quite warm! Lucky he turned it off for me otherwise I would have been quite crispy when I woke up this morning!

There was FROST on the grass up our road this morning ... first time I've seen that since I moved in. Apparently it's going to get colder as well.

man I just finsihed reading this book about this guy who was a policeman, and it was quite a funy book about his experiences (hes a bit clumbsy and all these things happen to him)

Well he was saying that he went to this place and this old lady had died in her sleep with her electric blanket on and noone had found her for three weeks... thats just gross, atleast 1 reason to remember to turn it off!

Ewww yuck. She would have been well smelly too.

I never used to mind the cold until I lived in Bermuda for 2 years and became acclimatised to tropical living

I love my electric blanket and heater

Had to hose the ice off my car this morning
