My bed is currently an icy paradise.

[pastabest]

I took every water holding, freezable receptacle I could find this afternoon and half filled them all with water and chucked them in the deep freeze.

I've currently got a frozen 2l bottle at my feet, an icy cold 'hot water bottle' under my pillow and a icy bottle of water for sipping on the bedside table.

There's another frozen 2l bottle of water in each child's room for them to cuddle/drink/waft around as they please.

It's just wonderful .

Show off!

Who needs air conditioning when you can just reuse the recycling

Been storming here and very heavy rain

Its much milder now, even chilly

Er is it not going to soon be a bit of a wet icy paradise? That's what would put me off
Assume you have lots of towels

Just make sure you can't fall asleep with a bottle of ice in direct contact with your skin in case of frost-burn.

Yep...I've got a fan on turbo and have come to bed with an ice pack and a frozen eye mask...clean cotton bedding too.

The cats have also got a small bag of frozen peas each

Minty - that's so funny! What do the cats make of them? Do they sit nearby?

Freeze salt water. It takes longer to actually freeze but also stays frozen longer. Just don't forget it's got salt in it and take a swig!

Meanwhile in Scotland I had to put the hearing on for a quick blast before bed!

Same! Around 12c and off and on rain for me! I've been in hoodie and the heating briefly clicked on.

Freeze a hot water bottle instead. You’re welcome.

Portable aircon unit here - the bedroom has gone from 28.9 to 20.6 - and counting! Blooming wonderful

I have one of the heat packs that you can microwave ready in the freezer. Its in case of injuries- seems a lot easier than frozen peas which are just a solid block in my freezer.

Taking notes for tomorrow night.

Where in earth in Scotland are you? Im just outside Glasgow and it got to 36 indoors today!

Where is it so hot?! Where are you?

Careful with the hot water bottle, I had one burst the other week, I woke up and thought I'd wet the bed

I’m in Scotland and absolutely roasting! It was 29 degrees here today though I am looking forward to my new cooling blanket when I go to bed

Blimey, where are you? It's roasting in Perthshire. I can't sleep!

My brain is so hot I read that as "portable unicorn unit"!

@MintyCedric Thats hilarious! Bless them.

The skinny short-haired one isn't too fussed, although she did sprawl with one on her belly yesterday.

Majestic Floof is more enthusiastic...she holed up in her cat tree cubby in the shade with one for half the day yesterday!

It’s a GoodHome Takoma one from B&Q @SqueakyPeaks! Absolutely wonderful ❄️

Good job op.
I slept with frozen cauliflower last night

@Nuggetnugget That made me laugh. I wonder what I can dig out...
