My personal test-day for the end of Summer - the first day after August I have to put the heating on first thing. Soon it’ll be setting the timer again. Fucking hate winter.

    Considering electricity costs are through the roof these days (and they weren’t cheap to begin with), but I am interested in these blankets…, how many kWh do they use an hour, do you know? Or what wattage do they continuously run at? Thanks!

    We don’t put the central heating on in our house any more literally at all, it’s just too expensive these days. I use a hot water bottle, they’re great in bed, stays hot all night long, great for my frozen feetsies ❤️

      Have to admit I can’t find the calculations now, but we got one each last year for exactly that reason and I’m pretty sure we worked out that each blanket was like 4p an hour or something in that ballpark. Plus of course, it’s just a nice weighty blanket even when it’s turned off which is all you need some nights!

        Hmm, that’s not too bad especially if I only use it on the really super cold nights when the condensation freezes on the INSIDE of the window haha.

        Thanks for the info! :-D
