I like flannellette sheets too and put my electric blanket on 10 mins before we go to bed. Also use hot water bottles and microwave wheat bags plus a heated Dreamland throw on the sofa. I hate being cold.

Definitely hotties for me that I warm up in the microwave. I've also just bought me a furry foot warmer that you slip a hot water bottle in, bliss.x

One of our choir members brought her hot water bottle with her to last week's practice. We all thought it was a good idea. We have wheat bags for the microwave, which keep us very cosy on cold nights.

How lovely to get such a warm response -no pun intended - I only joined gransnet in early January and it is great to meet people smile

I carry my hottie around with me. Travelled back home today and had it on my lap in the car. When it’s extra cold I have two. Sometimes three….

I’m another fan of brushed cotton or flannelette as my mam called it HelterSkelter - just hopping into bed in the autumn when I change over from Egyptian cotton is an absolute treat ☺️

Ooh yes bedsocks and hotties. Brushed cotton bedding and a good book. Just the thought makes me want to go to bed now.

All much in use this last fortnight.

Who likes a hot water bottle? I do - when the night was at -5degrees I decided to have 2, my feet were cold, I slept much better. I remember my mother advising me to leave the children's socks on when they had their after lunch nap and it worked a treat, something I do on my Nanny Granny days with my grandchildren, why I didn't do this for myself I just don't know - daft of me -
