Fantastic pics, too long to wait for spring to come. Just bought a 3ft greenhouse heater 135w for under the campbed, has anyone else tried this?

Agree with most except I prefer to not have too many layers on inside the sleeping bag. When you get up in the morning you need to be able to put lots back on or you will feel cold. Just make sure the sleeping bag is warm. We had an inner {normal) sleeping bag then had an arctic outer so basically a sleeping bag in a sleeping bag.
Put your clothes in the sleeping bag with you then they will be warm in the morning.

Hi I've been living with my family in a 6mt bell tent with stove for the last 4 months.. Hope to see some snow action this weekend! Top tips are get electric hook up for heater and light.. Hot water bottle and thick mattress, we let our stove go out overnight but are still cosy in bed when it's been -4 outside. Don't hide yiur head under the covers though or you get a very damp cover that will freeze! Oh and a lidded wee bucket.. You don't want to be nipping out in the night... Have fun!

Whether you have gas cooker outside, or leccy inside, fill your kettle before bedtime... and before the water freezes! Even with a kettle full of ice, you can still have your morning cuppa! 
Shower at dusk/after tea, rather than morning's... preferably in a heated shower block!... and then put your sleeping gear on under the other layers... at bed time, follow the steps described by Scampi, above. 
Don't be afraid/embarrassed to spend an extortionate amount of money on a private number plate, to let everyone know just how 'ard you are...
Squeal like 3 year old's on Xmas morning, when you open your tent door to this, for the very first time...
It's, very, very, satisfying!!
I CANT WAIT TO SQUEAL!! I've got about a week and a half left to get some snow on my canvas!
