I've learnt a new word today

It's a great word, and implies the existence of promacassars.

What was it?

I've spent the week considering getting an electric blanket. This comes straight after spending way too much time choosing antimacassars for my armchair. I think I'm getting old.

Well, can we see the ones you chose?

I have also been looking for an electric throw. There’s an under blanket on the bed already, but I want one to keep me warm on the sofa.

*not ruling out maybe I’m just allergic to the in-laws.

But dog food also makes me retch.

I wouldn’t mind a cat but for three things:

(Most importantly) I love birds, and watching all the birds just hopping carefree around the lawn brings me so much joy. The little robin is so precious, I would hate for them to be nervous of a cat (or worse).

The smell of cat food makes me retch.

About four years ago I became suddenly allergic to cats. I’m not sure if it’s all cats or just my in-laws* cats, but now I get a rash all over, itch terribly and sneeze and cough a lot every time I’m at their house.

*not ruling out maybe I’m just allergic to the in-laws.

or...and hear me out here...get an electric blanket.

Layers, people! LAYERS!!! Sheesh, electricity is going to be more expensive than toner soon!

I've spent the week considering getting an electric blanket..

Pro tip: get a smart switch to go with it so you can turn it on from your sofa.

Possibly. How much, what condition, etc?

Boxed, unlocked, excellent condition (has been kept in a case with a screen protector its entire life, although I've removed the screen protector and case for sale)

128GB Graphite model.

No idea on price -- £450 seems to be the going rate from what I can tell, though?

The Warhead family has finally been inducted into the Covid19 club. I'm amazed we've avoided it this long.

Sorry to hear that. Best wishes for a swift recovery.

Did you weigh up the costs between antimacassars and a balaclava?

Also, I think I’d rather have a dog. But dog food also makes me retch. And we don’t have a back garden fences here, so visiting dogs (like my Ma’s) end up just all over neighbours gardens until someone shouts out that there is a random dog a few gardens over, and she gets lots of fusses as she’s brought back over

Or possibly their house / something in their house When I was a kid and we visited one cousin they had a cat and my alergies always went into overdrive , and everyone assumed I was alergic to their cat , however they then moved and when we visited after that I never had any problems. you could always say hello to someone else's cat and see if anything happens

Get a dog and biscuits. They will keep you warm, kinda. But you have to take them out when it’s cold and miserable. But you could make Russ do that… so yeah get a dog. As for allergies, Schnauzers, Poodles and others are your best bet as they shed very little fur.

Jem bought me an electric throw a few years back and it’s ace. I also just discovered that you can get electric foot warmers too.

Mimi might be interested in this if Dr Zoidberg says no (obviously he showed interest first) as her phone is getting a bit borked.
