A Considered Purchase

Although Darrell found us (fingers firmly crossed) a most excellent two year, fixed energy plan last summer, we are still being cautious with our energy consumption, be it gas or electricity ………

Energy Crisis. I bought myself a hot water bottle

….. and for that reason I decided to make a very considered purchase yesterday afternoon while I was in town ……..

I bought myself a hot water bottle to cope with the energy crisis

….. to wit, a good, old fashioned hot water bottle, something Nigel has been a total stranger to for the whole of his life, having always been able to rely on his natural hot bloodedness to keep himself warm, even in the coldest of conditions, however, it never hurts to have a back up.

My purchase was made all the more sweeter, as it only cost me £2 in the Poundstretcher 50% sale. Sooooooooo, watching our new guilty pleasure, “Is It Cake?”,  snuggled under a blanket of an evening, playing pass the hot water bottle is going to be quite a game changer!  What am I like?

Hot water bottles. Now, they bring back some childhood memories! Not so good if they leaked, when you were in bed. A rather suspicious damp spot....

Remember the person who used to blow them up? Inflate with his mouth - not explode with dynamite.

Here, in Mexico City, we have no need for either heating or air conditioning, so our electricity and gas bills are low.

Oh I'm no stranger to the hot water bottle. I'm more of a stranger without it! JantheFan x
