For me it is a single electric blanket which I have put on my armchair which keeps me nice and warm. Only 5 p and hour to run and saves putting the gas fire on and have put the central heating down too! I also have a fluffy heated top throw from Lakeland. I do feel the cold so, my other half says the house is much too hot!

Great charity shop find just this morning - a brand new stripy Joules tunic dress in my size. Delighted!

A warm quilted, well fitting dog's coat from Animate.

I recently bought a smaller soup maker because the one I had made far too much soup. I can now throw in a few left over vegetables and make enough for a couple of meals. I don’t have room in my freezer to freeze it.

A video doorbell. We live at the back of the house but now I can see what is going on in the street.

Netflix. A brilliant offer from BT. Half price for 24 months.

A new battery for my I phone. It didn’t stay charged for any length of time. When I asked DS about getting one, his answer was not worth it, time you changed your phone.

Well. for once I didn’t take his advice. Went to a local phone shop and they put a new battery in. Hopefully it will keep me going for a while yet.

Didn’t want another phone, I like the one I have (GD’s old one!)

Same for me Calendargirl. My SIL gave me his old phone and I still haven't got used to all the things that it can do.
