I have at last managed to prise cauldrife DH's electric blanket from his bed and it is currently in the wash. However the label says that it must not be FOLDED - although I recall that it arrived folded loosely in a large box so how am I supposed to store it until the Autumn? or should I just put it back unplugged on his bed?

Roll it round a cardboard tube? Fabric shops throw them out by the dozen. But he will need it again in a week or two so don't take too much trouble.

How about under instead of on top of the mattress he won't know its there.

*Elegran - you obviously know him well grin

Tanith that is a truly brilliant idea and has the added bonus that I will not forget where I have put it, as I do turn the mattress from time to time.

Gransnet to the rescue again smile Many thanks.

There was an item on TV recently about electric blanket safety and they found that a worrying number of them were dangerous. Might be worth getting yours checked before you use them again.
