Snug as a pig in a blanket

[dreaminghope]

I have identified two groups of sleepers: hotdogs and sausage rolls.

Hot dogs turn over in their sleep without disturbing the covers, like a hotdog spinning in a bun.

Sausage rolls turn over and roll the covers around themselves, like a sausage getting wrapped in puff pastry.

Russ is a sausage roll. Last night he almost strangled himself with the blankets, because as I felt him begin to roll up for at least the third time that night, I grabbed my side of the blankets and held on. He kept rolling and wrapping, so they got tight enough to wake him up.

I should have felt bad, but I am bitter when I am cold and awake at two in the morning.

I always forgive him in the morning, though.

LOL, I'm a hot dog. Pete's a sausage roll. Sometimes I hang on tight to those covers too (whilst mumbling sleepy curses), otherwise I'm freezing by morning. Pete's a big lad, and by the time he's rolled himself up into a cocoon, there's not much left for me.

I feel your pain, and your cold!

I'm a hot dog, Chev is not. Some times I'll hang on if I notice the blankets leaving, some times I have a spare one down the side, and some nights I just yard them back to my side of the bed.

strange analogy for a vegetarian. :)

I can't think of a good veggie one: carrots and bean burritos just don't have the same imagery.

I need to start keeping a spare blanket on my side of the bed; I think it's the only way I'm staying warm next winter!
