I think the whole country has been affected by the frosty weather these past few days. I had to scrape the ice off my car this morning, luckily i’d already popped to my local Poundland store a couple of weeks ago and picked up some de-icer. Make sure you go to your local store and get all your winter car care, 600ml de-icer, anti-freeze, and Thinsulate ice-scraper – all just £1 each!

 What car? Has a fantastic article for top tips on looking after your car in the winter. One thing I didn’t know was that “Even in winter you should run your air-conditioning for at least an hour a week. This allows the coolant in the system to lubricate all of the moving parts and prevents the build-up of elements which can corrode pipework”…air-conditioning on? Brrr…

You need to keep yourself warm too, at Poundland there is a fantastic range of winter clothing, perfect for these cold days. There are winter hats, soft touch scarfs, we even have ear muffs, I used to love those when I was young! …and don’t forget your mens and ladies thermal socks! £1 each!

Lastly I just had to comment on the ‘slanket’, did anyone see it in the news today? It’s a blanket with sleeves that is ideal for watching the telly – there was some fab stories on this today and it did make me chuckle! Anyone got a slanket on their Christmas list?

Is it me or does it feel colder today? Last week I was dressed in t-shirts and this week I’m hunting around for my hat and scarf! The good thing about winter though is the wintery celebrations like Halloween, bonfire night and Christmas. How did your Halloween parties go? I’m now looking forward to bonfire night and am planning to hold a party on Thursday. I came across a feature on the Telegraph.co.uk today – 10 of the most dramatic firework clips. This definitely made me think twice about being extra careful this week.

With the cold creeping in on us fast, it’s time to either find my hat, scarf and gloves from last year or treat myself to a new set for winter 2009. With  winter clothing range including gloves, earmuffs, hats and scarves, I think I might be able to stretch to revamping my winter wardrobe. I mean I could get a full set for under £5. That really is a bargain!
