Frank Hovis Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Here's the perfect way to save on heating bills now the gas and electricty prices have gone silly. Warm, cheap (£15), you can wear it over underwear or even your clothes, it will save you a fortune in heating bills. But would you answer the door in it? What if there was a wolf or camouflage version? And we will take it as read that the model is attractive so ccc would. So no dodging the question - would you wear it? http://www.dunelm-mill.com/shop/teddy-bear-adult-all-in-one-367507 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StainlessSteelCat Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Looks really cool...erm...warm. I'd be happy to wear it as is. No worries answering the door in it either. Trouble is, I think the missus would steal it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get what you pay and that's clear in the way they arrange it - by thread count. The top thread count duvet covers and sheets are superb.

Mrs Bear Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Call me a snob but I can't imagine ever shopping at Dunelm Mill. Just before last Christmas I found the best selection of good quality, pure cotton sheets and duvet covers I have seen outside John Lewis, in Dunelm Mill in Barnstaple. And quite a bit cheaper than JL , too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Hovis Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share Posted November 4, 2013 Not cheap though. But what price individuality? Prices start at $1550. Bodysuits ONLY start at $500. Body suit only then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorkins Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 That doesn't look like it would be very warm. It doesn't fit very tightly, so there will be lots of big air pockets inside which will fill up with warm air while you sit still, and the moment you move the warm air will move out of the suit and be replaced with cold air from outside. You want something that hugs your figure so the warm air is trapped against your skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as I will hold off going for a wee so I can do one in the wetsuit for that initial bit of warmth (nb - not recommended if you expect to be in for hours, you'll get a rash) then maybe this onesie works on the same principle. I assume it's machine washable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuggets Mahoney Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Hot water bottles from abroad? Doesn't everyone know you can't trust foreign made goods! Frankly they're asking for it. In New Zealand, land of many drafts and not much central heating, they take their hotties (and long johns) very seriously. The sale of unlicenced hot water bottles is banned specifically by legislation... NZ: Ban on unsafe hot water bottles continues “Since the ban on unsafe rubber hot water bottles was first put in place in 2004, the Ministry of Consumer Affairs has received no complaints about hot water bottles. This shows the ban is working,” says Stephen O’Brien. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashmonitor Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 My daughter has had a couple of these for some time now. We have a very cold house and they are great. I have yet to make the leap though. She tells me One Piece from Norway are the best and looking at their site they have some really stylish ones: http://www.onepiece....gry-birds-black until I came across this...... I'm guessing these might be a sensible stocking filler too this Christmas...... http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00647/news-graphics-2007-_647342a.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1565468/Tories-want-to-ban-faceless-hoodies.html&h=206&w=180&sz=17&tbnid=70oC7LTcEdhJoM:&tbnh=90&tbnw=79&zoom=1&usg=__5i30gCWl1NFaahmsgKBRBb53qwg=&docid=kn8h_Vuti8hi5M&sa=X&ei=-nt3UpamJ-TK0QWP5IGIBA&ved=0CDEQ9QEwAA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
