Who takes a hot water bottle to bed with them? Is it a stone one or a rubber one. Any funny stories about these bottles? Sylvia xxx |

I prefer the human variety too now. Used to have rubber ones as a kid. I have got a stone one, it was my parents'. I can remember having it as a child. Warm feet. cold everywhere else. Ann Glos |

I wouldn't be without my hottie wattie bottie, it was a christmas present 2 years from my husband, men are so thoughtful arn't they?, but as we have no heating upstairs and no double glazing I wouldn't be without it or my 15 tog duvet, we get ice inside the windows in the winter when its realy cold. jenny x |

Di, your story reminds me of my youth hostelling days. I used to cycle from hostel to hostel. Now hostels in the winter are freezing places. I too, had my hot water bottle freeze, and I only noticed it when I woke up! Sylvia xxx |

a good tip for the summer when its too hot to sleep is to fill your hot water bottle with cold water and cuddle it till you go to sleep. jenny x |

Don't use it now, but I still have the old stone one we used when I was young. Woke up many a night with a fright, when it fell out of bed and banged onto the floor. Christine |

My mother used to have a stone one too. Rather cumbersome in bed. Sylvia xxx |

My Dad won't go to bed without his hot water bottle, we tried to buy him an electric blanket but he won't have one!.. I remember my Grandparents old stone brick, came out of the range oven, and straight in the bed!.. |

I've got 4 furry ones - my cats LOL! One of them is usually kind enough to sleep where my feet go and warm it up for me - and of course they are always willing to snuggle up alongside too :)) |
