Has to be Wool for Warm Feet - Wednesday 1st July 2015
Approximate $ Savings: $25-$35
In Winter in the Southern States (since I turned 100 with my twin) I have noticed an increasing number of cold-temp cramps in my feet and legs. My feet ache and then my calves cramp from being too cold. My darling Mum (God rest her Soul) used to swear by wool (singlets, jumpers, hats etc.) however the woollen socks just don't seem to be enough nowadays for my feet. I was looking at the used-to-be beautiful sheepskin (pock-marked, burnt, chewed and stained by various calamities) the other day (it's our mat we sit on to tend to the fire on our very cold slate floors). Suddenly, the light bulb went on! I grabbed the scissors, ALL my shoes, slippers, gumboots are now lined with the said sheepskin and boy are my feet doing a Happy Dance. No more Cramps, toasty warm toes - Oh, Happy Day!

Editor's note: It's not just the southern states that get cold! Having just had five weeks camping through New South Wales, Queensland and the Northern Territory I can tell you every night was freezing cold! I just wish this tip had come in before we left home, I have a sheepskin that is about to be put to a brand new use warming my feet! Cath
