 Posted: 11/13/04 - 21:49 Post subject: Electric Blanket and flannel sheets.........
..........were put it on the bed today. Let the fightin' commence!  I'm hot blooded to the max, DH is always freezing. It's a dual control blanket so ya would think we could be happy, right?? I have mine on just to warm the bed, then turn it way down almost off. He has his on max all night.  I can feel it from here I swear. Then he will throw off all the covers on to me and lay there with nothing. 
You got your flannel sheets or electric blanket on yet?

No. We still have the window open.
But we do have the flannel sheets at the ready. Much nicer than the electric blanket. We prefer piling on the blankets as it gets colder.

Nope. I like it cold when I sleep. It will probably be at least another month before I break out the flannel sheets, and a few weeks after that for an electric blanket. It'll be consistantly in the 50's in the house before I use either. I strongly dislike space heaters and central heat.

The electric blanket was for the black lab that died last winter.....
Flannel sheets won't be broken out til January here. I have the window open on my side of the room and it drives me crazy to hear the furnance kick on...
Of course, the new heat sink dog, Sandal, if we can convince her to sleep in the bed all night long, would help with the heating. She's one hot dog!

No blanket just flannel sheets sometimes. We have an extra blanket at the foot of the bed when I am on nightwork. Otherwise, I have to get into bed first to warm it up before she gets in.

No flannel or electric blanket now or evah. I would rather pile extra blankets on myself, because its easier to get cool again that way. I don't like to be too warm.

So the first night was worse than I was expecting. He had his side on max as usual. I turned mine wayyyyyy down. About 4 a.m. I realized he but the blanket on wrong so the controls were mixed up.

We don't own an electric blanket, although according to Mrs Boilerwe do own a beer powered one!  The flannel sheets might go on during Thanksgiving weekend.

Don't you wake up at 3:50 am? So you didn't notice the radiating heat until you got up, took a shower, and enjoyed a leisurely breakfast?
