Blanket
I like, when I’m in my flat, to put to good use the wondrous invention of the blanket. Except, it’s not so wondrous when you add a set of wheels into the equation…..it was my last straw this morning when it wrapped around the front wheel in true anaconda style, preventing me from getting to the door for the delivery guy – who kindly spent 5 mins unraveling it for me :oops:. I know in part it’s my fault but it does things of its own volition too
…..anyone got a handy alternative that isnt a slanket thingy as they dont close at the back and rely on the wearer possessing victorian shoulders?What about second breakfast?

Re: BlanketI understand what you mean, blankets/rugs/knee warmers are so anti-wheel. Is the crux of the problem that the blanket is too wide?
I have a hand made blanket that is narrow enough to cover me and still have spare wither side but not oodles that mean it drapes shifts and then gets hypnotically drawn to the wheel.
Just had a thought, if you used a scarf to tie the blanket around your lower legs, would that help, or be an added faff for when you need to ger your legs free.

Re: BlanketWhat about a onesie or is that to awkward to get on and off?
Re: BlanketPerhaps it is too wide and too long – I like wrapping it so my lower back doesnt get cold either…..scarf doesnt work (tried it).
Onesies are not my friend.

Re: BlanketHow about [if this makes sense] put the blanket on the chair, you then sit in the chair and then wrap the excess across your body?
It’s akin to wrapping a town around you after a shower, sorta, kinda like [wish I could draw, makes like easier, lol]

Re: Blanketi do a variation of AMG.
i drape shawl over chair, then sit, arrange top half(nothing worse than top half being too tight)
for the legs. I roll each side around one leg at a time and wedge in knees. I have been known to use pegs, kilt pins, big safty pins and staples to glow worm mysself up.
for feet I have a fluffy sheep foot thing.

remeber to pee before wrapping up
and arrange phone, remotes and pringles in a handy place
Re: BlanketNot sure if this is of any use http://www.lapwrap.ie/ – came across it when I was looking for a foot muff thing for outside.
It’s the same as the bath towel wrap around concept.
I have a wrap thing like a blanket with a slit in it that goes round me and drapes over legs – but I’m always getting tangled up in my wheels unless I tuck it under my legs. Slanket is my favourite but can’t move unless someone picks up my ‘tail’ and I hold it on my knee (and it does fall off my droopy shoulders but I’m thinking of a bit of velcro for fixing that).
One day someone is going to have to cut me free from getting wrapped around my wheels! Hope you find something that works!
Re: BlanketI’m wondering if a homemade sleeping bag style thing is worth giving a shot, loose at the top but not at the bottom. Zip/velcro/toggle fastening up to just above the knees? Dragon’s Den anyone?

Re: BlanketGood idea, sounds like a chrysalis type thing! Would be lovely if it was made of fleece or fur inside! Bit tricky to get into though! Could imagin Duncan Bannatyne saying “ah’m no’ investin'” !
