How are you preparing for the hot weather this weekend?

So how are you preparing for the hot weather at the weekend?

So far:
Bought dog cooling mat (for me!)
Bought ice lollies for kids' dad's house.
Bought me some ice-cream.
Had the windows open to cool the flat as much as possible after the boy heated it up in the last heatwave. (Got it down to 21 which is not that great)

Need to:
Rehang curtain in bathroom.
Hang extra sheet layer behind living room curtains. (Found the sheet)
Move plants off the window sill.
Pack away medication in the cool box.
Freeze cool packs.
Buy ice lollies for here and ice-cream for ex's.
Recharge power banks.
Wash up before it gets hot. (Potentially 30degrees in a top floor flat so much to got to wash up then.)
Water my plants in ex's garden and move to shade.
Close the box of rainwater collected for blueberries.
Buy hot weather no cook food.

We aren't getting any heatwave in the NE where I live. Love it here (moved from London) but it's by far the worst thing about up here. The weather is crap.

Dog cooling Matt for you 😂 love it.
mum dreading it with a toddler that will be unsettled. Got paddling pool. Will get lots cold drinks in fridge and buy some more fans to blow hot air around 😂

I looked at the he mats last year and regretted not getting it. Hoping it might help sleep/ survival.

I’m happy for my southern mumsnetters, but somewhat jealous. Enjoy ladies!

(Our forecast has gone from 25 degrees and sunny on Saturday, to 17 degrees and drizzle ☔️).
