A hot water bottle: the best in winter. / myLot

I haven´t had a hot water bottle for a long time. I changed them years ago for a rice pad that you heat in the microwave oven. It is better in case your back hurts so I love it. But I found a hot water bottle at my mother´s house now that all things are being taken away so that we can sell the property. Noone was interested and it looked as it it would go to the garbage can although it was almost new. I took it. Yesterday, I filled it with hot water and placed my PJs around it. The world changed! It was so warm and cozy! Now I´m waiting for the water to boil to do the same. Then I´ll wait a wuile while the PJs get warm and off to bed.

I have not earned much today here, but I have done other things at home. I´m quite satisfied with my day. Good night dear friends

I could probably benefit from a hot water bottle by my feet during the winter when I sleep. I don't do well when my feet get cold.

It made a change for me. I have the same problem. And it is so easy to solve!

I have a small electric heating pad, you plug it for 5 minutes and it stays warm for about 4 hours, it's the best in winter.

I have a heating blanket, but I have found out that as it heats the whole bed, my feet are still colder. This old devise is better. And much cheaper.

@marguicha My device is small like a water bottle and I use it like a water bottle, but it lasts longer.

I actually bought a hot water bottle awhile back, but I still use a rice pad most of the time. Either one is heavenly when it's really cold, though.

I prefer the rice pad when my back hurts. But for cold feet, nothing beats the hot water bottle.

We had to take everything out of the house. I took a set of chinaware and some furniture. My eldest daughter almost remodeled her house with my mother´s living room and dining room furniture. I´m glad for her because she doesn´t have enough money to do that. My brother got paintings and my sister the best silverware. And so on.
