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

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.

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.

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

Our family name for a hot water bottle is 'Johnny hot belly' my nana, my mother, me, my children, all my grandchildren, all my relatives use it . I don't suppose hot water bottles will be around for much longer so our little name will disappear do any of you have odd names for everyday objects?
