Not only does it cost just 4p/hour to run, but the heated throw is also a dupe of a more posh version which will set you back £150[/caption]

Ofgem‘s energy price cap changes every three months, setting a ceiling on what suppliers can charge households on default or variable tariffs.

With millions searching for affordable ways to keep their homes toasty, the popular discount retailer Aldi has launched a stylish heated blanket – that’s not only purse-friendly but also a dupe of a posh The White Company version.

The sell-out Ambiano Heated Throw is making a comeback – priced £29.99, the winter essential costs just 4p/hour to run and keep your body cosy as the chills begin to set in.

The soft and luxurious throw is designed with your comfort and safety in mind.

Featuring advanced safety mechanisms, including overheat protection and an auto-off function, this Aldi bargain will ensure you can relax without having to worry.

With a whopping nine adjustable heating levels, there’s indeed one for every preference – whether you need a gentle warmth while catching up on the latest reality TV drama or the higher settings to preheat your bed before you go to sleep.

Not only does it costs just pennies to run, but the throw is also convenient with a detachable lead for extra easy cleaning.

Best of all – shoppers can snap it up in Dark Grey, Light Grey, and Cream, and the blanket is sure to become a stylish addition to any home decor.

A similar version by the luxury brand The White Company – their Super Soft Faux Fur Heated Blanket – will set you back an astronomical £150, meaning you’re saving a staggering £120.

In previous years when the German supermarket launched similar items, shoppers went wild are were quick to add it to their trolleys.

So, if you want to get your hands on the heated throw, best race to the store to avoid any disappointment.

In 2023 and as part of the customer-loved Specialbuys, eager fans flocked to bag the £39.99 Silentnight Electric Heated Throw – and the tolasty night must-have sold out in minutes, Metro reported.

Those who that weren’t so lucky were quick to express their frustration.

One customer, Helen Louise Harrison, mentioned in the popular Aldi shoppers Facebook group: ‘’Was in a queue 4,000+ at 8am, by the time it let me in, all sold out eight mins later. Madness.”

The cosy heated throw will be landing in stores on Thursday, October 17th, along with other bargain goodies to check out, such as Aldi’s Silentnight Thermal Mattress Cover, £9.99.

Not only will this help you keep warm, but it will also increase the longevity of your mattress – a no-brainer, really.

Another must-have to add to your home is their Kirkton House Faux Fur Throw, which is available in three gorgeous colours – Cream, Khaki and Light Grey.

 Super soft to the touch with a faux fur upper, this is the perfect way to inject some cosy style to your room – and ideal for those movie marathons ahead.

FORGET Wimbledon, the real history of British tennis lies at the world’s oldest tennis court in Scotland.

Some 483 mile drive north of the home of Wimbledon sits the 483-year-old venue that only plays a sport coined “real tennis”.

The Falkland Palace Royal Tennis Club in Fife is home to the world’s oldest tennis court, built in 1539 under the command of King James V of Scotland.

The incredible course doesn’t even nearly look how you would think it would.

Swap out the pristinely cut grass and perfect white lines for a paved floor and four walls surrounding the entire court.

You’d be forgiven for thinking that the court was used for a different sport altogether, and truthfully it is.

The historic club’s 50 members play a 500-year-old version of tennis named “real tennis” or “royal tennis“.

The unusual sport is thought to be the origin of what we are used to now and is played within the confines of four walls.

While it uses intricate wall and floor markings for scorekeeping in a completely different system to today’s tennis.

Speaking to the Daily Record, club member Kevin Gilbert explained how it differentiates from the popular game of today.

He said: “It’s played quite differently to lawn tennis, which originated in the 19th century.

“The game involves hitting the ball off a penthouse roof, and you’re allowed to hit it onto the walls and there are other quirks of the game that can win you points.”

There’s thought to be only 50 “real tennis” courts remaining worldwide with around half of them dotted up and down the UK.

Remarkably, anyone wanting to play on the historic course at Falkland Palace only has to pay £10 to get out on the court.

However there is one very large caveat to that tiny price – you have to know the rules of “real tennis” with no “absolute beginners” allowed.

The court is now looked after by the National Trust of Scotland but it’s the tennis club who are tasked with keeping a 500-year-old tradition going.

Gilbert added: “We get visitors from all over the world who visit us, and sometimes write or email us asking if they can have a game on the court and we always include them.

“We’re trying to keep alive the tradition of many centuries of play.”
