@ PoD
get a leccy blankie! They're marvellous! Takes a bit of getting used to, at first I kept wondering if I'd weeed, as it heats up hot quite suddenly. And it's not very good to fall asleep with it turned up full, even in the dead of winter, coz I think that much sweat prolly runs the risk of electrocution. But apart from that it's snug and lovely, makes you feel all looked after.

*cosies*

ancrenne, that sounds miserable :(
When I get coughs they're really bad and last for ages, my own fault for being a smoker... I hate coughs *sympathies*

edit: oh and no, haven't told spimf, lol, only started sneezing a lot today, and besides I'm not sure I know him well enough to tell him I'm shouting him all over the place!

Hello

My flatmate last year had a leccy blanket
I mocked him for it, and then fell asleep feeling slightly cold.

I now have some of the gel pads that you click a bit of metal in, and the gel has some weird reaction and they heat up to about 60 degrees. They are awesome on cold days, and you just throw them in boiling water to reset them.

Evening Kaol. Good gig?

Kinda...
Matchbox were disappointing, Scars were good!

I've got a headache now though.

EDIT: Hi ancrenne :)

Was it
80s matchbox beeline disaster?

I haven't heard any of their stuff in ages.
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Fri 19 Sep 2008, 0:39, Reply)

Yep, them!
They played a few new songs, which were cool, but they seemed pretty drugged up, or like they didn't want to be there.

Being cold in bed?
I normally keep half of my clothes on.

Yeah that's the worst...
Last year I was dying of coughing and had a smoke and my ex raised an eyebrow and said "does that help", to which I replied "of course not, but if I don't smoke I'm dying of coughing AND dying for a fag!"... "oh yeah" he said "I hadn't thought of that"...

Ning Kaol :)

PoD, I have lots of those too in the form of gel eyemasks. (My stepdad used to be a medical rep and had to take round lots of freebies to doctors, as a result my mum, me and my brothers all have houses full of things with random words like "Zomig" on them).

Hey fuzz.
Sorry I vanished last night, my internet decided to go to sleep before I did.
( Cawl, Fri 19 Sep 2008, 0:44, Reply)

Yay for medical freebies
A friend of mine used to have a t-shirt from a laxative company, with an illustrated Bristol Stool Scale on the back.

It was kinda disgusting.

Oh and also
My blanket has a timer, and you can set up to three programs on it, so you could set it to come on just before you get in bed and turn off again when you're warm and asleep, and then on again for a bit in the middle of the night just in case you've gone all cold again, and then in the morning for when you wake up, although having such a cosy bed makes getting up very difficult.
( warmfuzzies Isn't here, Fri 19 Sep 2008, 0:47, Reply)

No worries Kaol :)
Glad you hadn't exploded from the anger or the coffee or something like that.

PoD... :(
( warmfuzzies Isn't here, Fri 19 Sep 2008, 0:48, Reply)

I have enough trouble getting up in the mornings.
A warm bed would make things worse.

Needing the toilet is the best one for getting up.
( Cawl, Fri 19 Sep 2008, 0:49, Reply)

Does anyone else
Get some days when they can just get up straight away, and some where they can't get up at all?
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Fri 19 Sep 2008, 0:52, Reply)

AND
As if that wasn't clever enough, it's a double blanket, and each side is controlled independently! So hot and cold blooded people can share a bed with no arguments about the hotness or the coldness.

I don't use the programmy thing, I just turn it on and when I start melting I turn it off.

I didn't know such things existed either, my mum gave it me as she has so many hot flushes now she's her own radiator.

I would, however, have a whole blanket made of cats, if I was allowed.

PoD
I find it nearly impossible to get up, every day.

It's rubbish!
( Cawl, Fri 19 Sep 2008, 0:57, Reply)

PoD,
I've spent the last three weeks unable to get up at all. I am terminally can't be arsed atm.

I went through a phase of jumping out of bed at 6 every day, voluntarily and happily, once.

Actually, I have found that I'm very seasonally affected. I generally jump out of bed feeling happy if the sun is shining, and if it's not I snuggle down deeper and feel grumpy.

At the start of secondary school
I went through a phase of waking up at 6am every day, even weekends. Channel 4 showed Sesame Street at 6am at the time, so I watched it 5 days a week.

I was only 12.

edits - Did I show you the Selk Bags you can get, ancrenne?
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Fri 19 Sep 2008, 1:04, Reply)

Kittehs holding hands!
Lots and lots and lots of fluffeh! Yay!

Also, selk bags: WANT!

I seem to have become inebriated with lolcatspeek, mentioning the kittehs can have this effect on me.

If I gather fruits in autumn I get through the winter much better, it's primal thing I think, a subconscious signal to my brain that I am now "prepared" and have stored enough sunlight for the dark months.
( warmfuzzies Isn't here, Fri 19 Sep 2008, 1:11, Reply)

Yeah, they are
They cost about £90 for the basic one I think, up to £230 for the fanciest one.

Off to bed, good nights all.
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Fri 19 Sep 2008, 1:13, Reply)

AND
Sesame Street! There is no shame in never growing out of it.

crazy musical goodness

My bro's band are planning to cover this :)
( warmfuzzies Isn't here, Fri 19 Sep 2008, 1:14, Reply)

All this talk of being warm!
*frowns*

I've got a sheet and a thin blanket on my bed, I really need to buy a duvet or something.

Or steal a large mammal of some kind. Like a pony with no legs.
( Cawl, Fri 19 Sep 2008, 1:14, Reply)

Na night PoD,
Stay cosy and sweet dreams.

Mmmmm ancrenne, you've just motivated me out of my can't be arsedness.... Tomorrow ascrumping I shall go :)
( warmfuzzies Isn't here, Fri 19 Sep 2008, 1:16, Reply)

*is lost in imagary*
of Kaol under a legless pony...
( warmfuzzies Isn't here, Fri 19 Sep 2008, 1:18, Reply)

Yeah...
I may well invest in a duvet.
It'd be easier than sleeping with clothes on.
( Cawl, Fri 19 Sep 2008, 1:22, Reply)

yarr indeed me hearties!
Kaol, I also recommend duvets. Warm cosy nekkidness makes for much better sleeping.
( warmfuzzies Isn't here, Fri 19 Sep 2008, 1:26, Reply)

Yeah, naked sleeping for the win.
So much better.
( Cawl, Fri 19 Sep 2008, 1:28, Reply)

oh ancrenne
I'm so sorry! Now there's two of us obsessed with counties in the middle of the night :(

I am STILL trying to do it! 47 is my best so far, and that last bugger eluded me until I accidentally pressed something and had to start all over again! Grr!
( warmfuzzies Isn't here, Fri 19 Sep 2008, 1:30, Reply)

I didn't do the counties one
I did the colour one, and revealed some kind of beneficial autism.
( Cawl, Fri 19 Sep 2008, 1:34, Reply)

I did them
both.

I am a sucker for such things.

Also this.
( warmfuzzies Isn't here, Fri 19 Sep 2008, 1:37, Reply)

I got 21
on the colour one, which pleased me.

You, Kaol, are a freak.
( warmfuzzies Isn't here, Fri 19 Sep 2008, 1:40, Reply)

Like I said,
Envy my awesome colour-autism!
I got 8!
( Cawl, Fri 19 Sep 2008, 1:41, Reply)

@ Kaol. I know!
Beneficial autism, lol, I do like that phrase.

21 is a perfectly reasonable score for a maker of fuzzy things though. I do love teh colours :)

@ ancrenne, gah too! For some reason I can never get Cambridgeshire, and I always miss one of the B's (Bedfordshire, Bucks and Berks).
( warmfuzzies Isn't here, Fri 19 Sep 2008, 1:43, Reply)

Cambridgeshire is awesome
I work on the Essex/Cambridgeshire boarder.

Anyway, I'm achy from the gig, so gonna go to bed now.

G'night.

Na night Kaol
Be warm :)

Took me a while to find it, but hues here :)

Happy dreams of kittehs and apples :)

And WOOOOOO I just scored 4!!!
