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

I'm as as Bags...

so....

why?

Wouldn't a pillow induce more hotness?

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....

Such a simple questiion too

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!

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

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

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!

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

Try standing barefoot on a pillow.

You're probably right ana

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

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

Am I the only practical person posting on this thread?

But perhaps not the most practical.....

How can she do the washing up like that ?

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.

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!

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

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

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

Ella, nice one!

Bags Have you tried washing up with your hands instead?

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