That's the first question for a baffling queries thread. Answers on a postcard, please.

I don't know, Bags, but when I first met DH snogging with him made my feet red-hot! (Just my feet.....)

Dunno, Bags, I put it all in the dishwasher.

Try setting the dishwasher to cold!

Actually, I've just remembered that vacuuming makes my feet hot as well.

Actually, wearing slippers makes my feet too hot after a while!

I keep my feet hot because it seems to prevent my getting the awful cramps I'm apt to have.

Bags Have you tried washing up with your hands instead?

Ella, nice one!

Do you have special footwear reserved for vacuuming and washing up? Do you do a little jig as you work? Are you thinking hot thoughts

Nanadog sounds ideal and not far from home - wonder if they take people with tin hips.

Just be careful when you pass through the metal detectors at the door anno.

I think your kitchen floor is too hot, Bags. Keep a special mat in the fridge for when you do the washing up. Alternatively, get someone else to do it!

Have you tried raising your legs higher than the rest of your body? If you lie on the floor at right angles to the wall and rest your legs against the wall then the blood flow to your feet will be reduced. I think this is the most sensible solution.

How can she do the washing up like that ?

But perhaps not the most practical.....

That's the whole point. She can't..... so....no hot feet.

Am I the only practical person posting on this thread?

No - I think my idea was the best. Get someone else to do it!

You're probably right ana

Try standing barefoot on a pillow.

What kind of pillow? Feather? Holofibre? Wool? Also, why?

Why not? It doesn't sound any more ridiculous than the other suggestions! Could it (seriously) be to do with standing still? Have you tried/do you wear Birkenstocks/fitflops/MBT trainers? Might be good to keep the circulation moving by keeping the feet moving ?? I believe guardsmen and others who have to stand for long periods shift their weight imperceptibly by rocking forwards and backwards or foot to foot. I know it sounds silly too!

Any kind of pillow that you don't mind putting down on the kitchen floor and standing on – damn it.

Perhaps you should try doing the washing up with your hands rather than your feet? {ducks below parapet}
