Why does doing the washing-up make my feet hot?

I haven't said it sounds ridiculous. I haven't evennthought it sounds ridiculous. I've asked why. Nobody has answered the question yet. I would actually like to know why standing on a pillow has been suggested. Obviously the reason isn't obvious or I wouldn't have asked.

Sigh emoticon!

Such a simple questiion too

gracesmum, washing-up in our house doesn't take that long, but thanks for the thought.
#still wondering why about pillow

Actually, I'm usually wearing Crocs. Fairly pillow-like?

#still wondering why....

Wouldn't a pillow induce more hotness?

so....

why?

I'm as as Bags...

If you get the kids to do it, the question does not arise and you can stop worrying your little head about it![condescending male type]

Bags I googled hot feet: Artalgia. There is treatment for the condition.

I don't know why; I just find it helpful when I am ironing (which gives me hot feet) – and no, I iron with my hands and sometimes over my hands which makes them hot too.

Do you actually mind your feet being hot when you do the washing up, Bags, or was it just an idle 'why do they do that?'? (Not sure about that last question mark, but I felt it was necessary....)

Maybe there is something about hands in water; in your case hands in hot water. Didn't it used to be a favourite trick for boys at boarding school to put a sleeping boys hand into a bucket of cold water to make him pee in his bed?

OK, thanks.

No, I don't mind. I just wondered. More often than not I have cold hands and feet.

[goes to look up artalgia]....

It sems to be a homeopathic remedy. I won't be trying that but I might try a pillow. [wonders if a piece of that insulating material they use in food boxes would do.... easier to dry if splashed]

bags. Don't tell me that you don't believe in homeopathy!

Allright, jeni, I won't tell you

HRH prince Charles does.

The Health Minister does too

You ARE JOKING!
Aren't you?

jeni Bags is not joking. Jeremy Hunt, out new Minister for News Corporation Health Minister believes in homeopathy and voted in favour of reducing the legal limit for abortion to 12 weeks.

greatnan. How does one emigrate to New Zealand?

With considerable difficulty once you're over 50 jeni.

Is67 over 50? And what difficulty? This country is going to the dogs. I fancy Italy or France. I'd prefer Italy but I only speak English or French.
I'm also fed up of the weather here. It's getting me down. Makes me feel sad and my joints ache!
Enough of my misery. It's Birmingham tomorrow. That's got to cheer me up. Hasn't it?

That's if I can decide what to wear!

Oh we'll. back to Bags' hot feet!

I just wear rubber gloves ....nothing else ....

Shhh nellie! You'll get Donald excited.....
