Package stuff

when i started my saturday job i didnt have a clue what the differnce between a fitted and flat sheet was - i soon had to learn - i work in a linens department. you could always go for a really light duvet if you got cold - summer weight 4.5 tog there called - surely america do sell duvets?!

i know! im very pleased with myself, i actually learnt something from there!

 

My duvet at home is 10.5 I think....4.5 must be really thin!!

I thought comforters in the US were like duvets...we'll find out when we get there I suppose!

is anyone actually taking a duvet - i get so cold at night i was actually thinking of taking one with me and leavin it there when i leave? ;D

 

I donæt think they have comforters over there like we do here, in Norway at least. Everytime I've been there, I've always used blankets and quilts and that kind of stuff...

 

Yeah they sell all those kinda things at Wally World :

 

lol whats wally world.......i sure hope ur not reffering to wall mart ..lol ;D

 

i reakon ahe meant wal-mart but thats the first time ive ever heard it called that lol ;D

 

Lol really? It won't be the last time believe me

 

well its new on me but i reakon it will stick lol ;D

 

I need my duvet to keep me warm in winter! lol. Mind you, it is Florida where every room has air conditioning! You'll prob find you can adjust the temp to whatever you like, although if your a Brit sharing with a mexican it cud be interesting cos we're used to cold and they're used to the hot!

 

i read this earlier saying that is the most common problem in appartments is the fights over the aircon, i reakon ill take a duvet but buy one pre paked and not take it out of its wrapper till florida, ;D

 

thats a good idea, but think of the luggage space it'll take! you know tose vacu-bags? put clothes in and suck air out? Well i was wondering cos if i got them and then customs decided to check my luggage before i check in (have had that done to me once) how the hell am i gonna get all that stuff back in the case if i dnt have a hoobver to suck air out! lol. U reckon we would even be allowed to put those in out case cos of security?

 

i dont no - but my family is comin over for my bday in november so ill get them to bring more of my winter clothes etc so i will probably hav room - could carry it on as hand luggage i guess? ;D

 

how abt in florida summer? Is it cold at night? do we need duvet? 

 

Hello Winnie,
I'm still in the school's library
Plz see the web=site [ weather in FLordia] I sent to you today

 

u do find that it does get cold in the rooms but u could always buy a cheap devet from good all walmart and leave it there when u leave. I swear who ever goes into my room when i leave is sorted cuz ill prob be leaving clothes and possibily straighteners  

take care love sarah xxx

 

thanks a lot
i have no idea about the night weather in florida. Though u may think i am stupid, i am thinking of bringing my own blanket. Coz i dont wanna spend so much in the US. :
I will arrive there on 6th june

 

thats a good idea when ive stayed in florida b4 u are able to adjust the setting on the AC to a warmer setting if it does get too cold

looking forward to seeing everyone on june 21st

love sarah
