What's yours called

We used to call a hot water bottle Walter Hottle Bottle. Think it came from a kids' comic.

oh golly! hot water bottles not around for much longer!?!?!? [panic buying of hot water bottles emoticon]!

Haven,t used one yet this autumn but I shall tonight.

Sorry about the lazy apostrophe. iPad key change too slow. Can't (hey! that one worked!) be arsed to keep correcting them.

Ours was called The Tootsie Warmer it came from our gran who used to always have a hot water bottle under her feet when she had finished the days work and was relaxing in her big chair.

Mine's just called Hottie

Hottie Bottie.

Do you remember the stone hotties our grandparents used? It has have been like having a hot brick to put your feet on.

I remember having a hot brick wrapped up. Warmed up in the oven next to the fire grate.

I remember chilblains. Who gets those now?

I wonder what Stanley Unwin would have called his?

Hot Watery Bottlode?

Hottie Bott - I have one that I microwave and, unlike the traditional hottie it stays warm all night! Just like DH, except he won't let me put my cold feet on him

I managed to get chilblains during the winter. Walking about in bare feet in a cold house in the morning and then getting into a hot shower did it. (Memo to self - wear slippers). I really miss central heating but that's the nature of a less than luxurious rental in NZ. When I buy a house in a year or so, I hope, I shall make sure that the heating system works throughout the house and not just in the main living room and that it has double glazing. I miss that too. Fortunately winter her isn't long but it can be very cold.

My dad used to get chilblains on his ears - well they were very sticky out!

odd names for everyday objects
We have Sir Stanley (Stanley knife) and DH's late father had a huge hammer called Fagin.

DH has a sledge hammer called The Mekon.

You can take the boy out of The Eagle..........

Here is a proven cure for chilblains - my mother used to wrap my wet nappies round my Aunt's feet. It's the uric acid in the wee that does it.

Hot water bottle, what's one of those ??

I haven't used one since I was a child, when the only heating in the house was a coal fire in the living room.

I have a Hottie. It's one of those gel filled ones that you heat in the microwave.

We used to have a hot water bottle each when I was a child. Like nina the only heating in our house was a coal fire in the living room and a Rayburn in the kitchen which was fuelled by coke.

Remember the interesting intricate patterns made by frost on the inside of the bedroom window when you woke up on a winter morning?

I couldn't survive the winter without Hettie the Hottie. She's marvellous, and lives inside a furry cover which keeps her hot all night.

I have Charlie and Cilla cooling pads. The mini under my pillow is the female and I put my leg over the male by at my side when I get the 'hots' for him during the night.

Just could not go to bed without my hottie, been so since a child, so much so that we married in January and my Mum packed my hottie in the car for our honeymoon !

Remember the old stoneware hot water bottles? My granny used to call them pigs (piggies), while the rubber ones were hot water bags (baggies).

And didn't they slip out of the end of the bed, and land with a loud thump in the middle of the night!

I don't think my dad would have appreciated that cure for chilblains Nankate
