Just paid a massive vet bill so - I’m replacing the elastic on some well loved trackies to extend their lives, and plan to wait for the end of season clearance to get new ones. I’ve started knitting socks from yarn I already have (if they suck they become bedsocks). I might replace a zipper on a winter jacket and potentially replace the worn out lining with fleece if I can figure out an easy way.
I haven’t been turning the heating on to heat the house. It’s been mainly the hot water bottles, layers and an electric blanket with a timer (the cat gets in too). It’s actually working pretty well so far.
I’m looking at a knockoff oodie style robe that’s on clearance.
Jobs like your trackies are the reason I hoard shoelaces after the shoes go kaput.
Onesies are great also, it’s like walking around the house in a sleeping bag
I’ve actually got one of those. I bought it from an op shop after the fad for them was over and replaced the broken zip with a bit of hand sewing. I plan to wear it to bed/around the house when the weather gets colder
