Bought myself one of these snug sheepskin pelts to stay warm this winter. Anyone else considering ye olde Irish ways to save on energy bills?

Here comes the “fur is murder” brigade. I’ll get my popcorn
Looks cozy 🙂 I’m waiting on my electric blanket delivery from Amazon.
Currently in bed with a huge lab, a terrier/boxer cross and sheepdog… definitely going old school.
Burning leprechauns for heat.
Is it a blanket or a rug?
Natural fur pelts are perfect for rugs and blankets! I have a few, great for cold winter days
Looks really comfy! I lover winter. What I normally do at bedtime is put two duvets on the bed and an extra pillow. The extra pillow doesn’t necessarily make me warmer but it doesake me feel more snug.
If it’s freezing out I’ll throw on the dressing gown, wear a pair of thick socks and a pair of tracksuit bottoms. Most people can’t seem to get comfy in bed with clothing on, but I can.
I bought an Aran woollen blanket last winter and it was an absolute game changer for keeping warm in the evenings. It was €50 which is pricey, but I was able to cut back on how long I had the heating on for. Will definitely buy another.
My wife has stopped shaving for the winter, does that count?
Two blankets on the bed.
Regular duvet, weighted blanket on top 👌
It’s looking pretty dire. Might have to cut open one of the neighbours cows and sleep in it for warmth – Revenant style.
What I typically do is kill a large animal, or better still, find one that has died recently. I cut a slit in the belly about 2 feet wide and pull out the guts. Then I just crawl in and stay there for the night, snug as a bug in a rug.
I thought people on Reddit would be fine because they’re all full of hot air
Keep it away from pets! I’ve had two dogs pee on my sheepskin rugs and they were ruined
I have a Clint Eastwood style poncho that my fiancé knitted for me. I basically lived in it last year. I’ve been looking forward to it getting cold again since May so I can wear it again.
An old FCA coat thrown over the blankets.could’nt beat it
I got a Mexican blanket last year as a gift. During winter months I fold it over and climb into it wuthbthge duvet on top. Unbelievably comfortable and warm!
We could do with some fashion using these
One electric blanket on the bed, another under a throw on the couch.
Have a fleece electric blanket for on top of the sofa, that and a knock off oodie will keep me cosy. For the bed I have the brushed cotton bedding from homestore and more, the duvet with the weighted blanket on top does the trick. Slipper boots from penneys for making the tea or coffee, one cup boiling at a time then into the thermal cup to make it stay warmer longer.
A quilt under my bed sheets, an electric blanket on top of the quilt under the bed sheets, a quilt on top of the bed sheets and a blanket on the top of the quilt
Ooh look, an advertisement.
A lovely little home remedy idea from my sister… Pour some *uncooked* rice in a pillowcase and microwave it for a minute or two. Use it like a hot water bottle to warm the sheets before crawling into bed.
Went to the Aran sweater shop, plan on being toasty this winter.
I’m pretty sure in viking Dublin they wore the skin of the jarls who’s greed starved the people I can get behind bringing back those times
Is it cool to just straight up post advertisements here?
I got a snuggie(knock-off, not the expensive brand) for Christmas last year and it’s fantastic. I can WFH without the heat on for ages.
