Hot feet at night? Top tip!

Dunno about anyone else, but I get really hot feet in this kind of weather, especially at night, and being 35 weeks up the duff doesn't help. So, just wanted to share a top tip I devised a few years ago:

  1. Get a hot water bottle. Fill it 2/3 with cold water out of the tap.
  2. Squeeze out excess air and screw in stopper.
  3. Put in freezer, ensuring it lies flat.
  4. When frozen solid, take it out and put your feet on it in bed.
  5. Breathe sign of satisfaction.

Because the bottle is rubber, you won't get ice burns on your feet. The only problem you may have is that your DP/DH might start trying to steal it when they think you're asleep.

That is a great tip! I'm trying that tomorrow night! I have hot and very attractive fat feet.
I think my DC might be after it as well!

the best way to keep cool in bed get a large bathtowel soak it in cold water wring it out and then use it to cover you when you go to bed, bliss.
I discovered this trick with my second in the ot summer of 2003.
That and a paddling pool and a hose pipe for the day, sitting under a tree with my feet in the pool and hosing myself down when the heat got too bad
