Only it's got a bit chilly up my way over the last night or two.

DH keeps nicking both duvets (10.5 and 4.5tog - in festive autumnal covers which have been thru a hot wash, line dried and ironed) so when I get up for a wee I get back to...nothing.

Suggestions?

I love my Hottie microwaveable hot water bottle. It's fleecy, and stays hot all night.

And I find a good hard tug at the duvet deals with the cover hoggers. No mercy!

Ah...microwave - excellent!

I'd be useless with a kettle and end up in A&E

I have an electric hot water bottle which is great (stays warm for ages) and safer.

Get single duvets.

Inspired by different thread: demand from your husband to keep you warm with his own body heat 😂

When you get back to bed and he's hogged both duvets, pull both off him completely.

Do it every time until he learns.

uniqlo thermal pj
agree with pp - single duvets to lrevent hogging.

If you have a sewing machine you can make a cloth bag out of something like old pillowcase fabric and fill it with 'value' rice for a microwaveable heated pad thingy.
I've got two so that when it's horribly chilly I have one for my feet and one to cuddle.

Primark do good fleecy pyjamas. They’re not thermal, though.

I’d be nudging my husband awake to retrieve some covers. if it was me.

@xogossipgirlxo That would be a last resort. Wink
I thought @MNHQ would have had a suggestion or two...

@BMW6 Best if I don't - he's got a heart condition and due to the shock...I really CBA spending any more hours in an ambulance/A&E.

I'm just intrigued by you informing us that they had been washed, line dried and ironed. Why do we need that information?

andtheweedonkey · 27/09/2022 14:03

I might just add a third 13.5tog starting on my side. He'll still have it all by 4am. 🤦‍♀️

🤔@Cwcwbird totally irrelevant, but they're the rules around here, aren't they?

Hi there, please say more about an electric hot water bottle? Never heard of such a thing.
