You are kidding ,I was there for it and I never thought it was the best ever ,I can remember hotter ones .As a kid I can remember all the cold winters .Here now we just turn on the leccy blanket for a couple of hours and the bed is warmed to a tea.Its not that bad here .We are all leccy heating and will prob invest in a burner either gas or wood soon ,more for the pleasing look a fire gives rather than just blown heat.I can never say it is as cold here as it was in the uk.Pehaps thats cos I am a bit of hot stuff;)

Electric blankets are so horrible and dangerous, I would rather have millions of blankets than depend on those death traps. Get a log burner and you will find lots of free wood to burn on it :)

We shipped our waterbed over here. It's great, the matress is thermostatically controlled, warm as toast.

It's fantastic. You sink comfortably into the mattress, no more backaches.
A few months ago when we had an earthquake, it was weird. When everything stopped shaking, the bed was still moving, abit like being on a boat.
