#BlogLife983 - Throw away Throw...

That's all my Christmas presents received unless Santa let's me win from the advents.

I put some pictures on Twitter. I'm happy the slippers arrived early, re-delivered from Royal Mail the next day.

They are so soft, not as cute as the picture but I like unusual or cute shades and they will be toasty for my feet that are always sore, delicate and frozen.

The blankie is also silky soft but it's not giving much heat so basically an oversized thick throw and that's it.

I do not have luck with these things, even the faulty one is better.

It's on the highest setting and still rubbish but for testing purposes I got to leave it on and see if it will eventually produce heat, ugh waste of money so far.

Just under an hour later, it's warmer but only at the top. I'm not cold because the heating is on and I just munched, but if I was the blankie wouldn't do me any good.

Oh I was surprised by the zinger burgers, not really spicy just tongue tingly mildness, that's what I prefer.

It's made me face warm so that helps. Quite small but nice tasty bun and good sized fillet, now I know it's not spicy, I would get that offer again.

The next day it was still fresh. When I have a minute I'll write a scathing review on Amazon.

Overall what I noticed was, the density of the blankie took the chill away not the heat.

It's twice as thick as the old one but in the evening, I really started to shiver, even though it was on high so it will be relegated to a spare but not a primary source because it's terrible.

By the way it's been just over two months and I haven't had to charge the face brush since the first time I did it, not bad at all.

I sometimes use it twice a day or once or none at all, depending on my mood, for a few minutes I would say.

It's funny, I would spend money, more than usual on buying luxury gifts for others but I wouldn't do it for myself.

It just doesn't seem appropriate to waste money on fun treats, unless it's beauty or food, which are basically essentials and even then I make sure there is usually a discount.

Pmt is still up and down but I am definitely craving chocolate and biccys and nuts.

I still hope to skip this month, although if I do, I'm going to suffer in January.
