hi nicky, if you google slanket it comes up with quite a few. john lewis £25, amazon £18-35. asda are doing something similar called a snuggle for about £14. so plenty of outlets, guesss you will need to shop around.

happy hunting

I personally think they are a waste of money I got one last year to keep me warm. I find my Dressing gown keeps me warmer. or use a blanket its much cosier.

Have seen something similar online at Dun*lm M*ll, called a TV Fleece it's only £5.99. Cannot say what it is like, but maybe worth a look.

I have one bought from a local supermarket last Christmas for £10. It just has the sleeves and a pocket in but is light but warm, altho I don't use it often as I am one of those people who are up and down so found it a bit of a pain making a cuppa in it, had to take it off to walk about, altho I am not short. For someone who sits still a lot I think it would be nice or for putting on when sitting up in bed.

I wouldn't want to spend more than a tenner on one.

Thanks for all your replies......they certainly seem to vary in price....am visiting A*da at the end of the week, and we have a D*ne*m M*ll not to far away so will try there as well.

Thanks to all
