I used to act as the hot water bottle for my wife. I warmed up her side of the bed and then she put her cold feet on me. I get vastly toooooo hot (and it's not (just) my bum).
Looks like optimum functioning temperature differs . @Hostafan1 certainly functions at a level that would have me either comatose or ready to bite the head off a snake
As I recall, OH promised to cherish me and that includes my cold feet in winter. I have been known to wear socks in bed when it's really cold and maybe a nightie too.
OH is unnaturally warm blooded and I have to admit that I am too at the mo since the physio sessions for my knee got serious so we're still sleeping under a cotton duvet cover - minus the duvet - and a simple thin quilt. That might changeina week or two.

You know the feeling that you get when you open the washing machine door and realise that you've left a tissue in the pocket of your jeans in a dark wash? I do. Grrrr.
Uff, that used to be a common occurrence in Chez Beach,(hubby,hayfever!) I started checking. Oddly enough,we shop in Lidl, and their little individual pocket tissues, don't degrade in the wash. I washed a biro in my nursey uniform top on a hot wash,and my windup fob watch,(lasted 15 years) many times.... just laid it in the sun to dry out. No pets brightening up my day. Been up all night with Leo again.
At least we don't need to worry about finding tiny bits of £20 notes in the wash anymore.
I've had some terrible sleeps this week because of illness and side effects of the flu jab. Last night though I changed all the sheets on the bed and popped the 4 tog duvet onto the 9 tog one to give it full winter spec. It feels about a foot thick and nice and weighty now. I went to sleep just after midnight and slept through till just after 8. My wife asked if the thunder last night kept me awake as it was quite loud apparently. I didn't hear a thing. She told me our youngest had quite a restless night because of it and she'd got up a few times to settle him. Still didn't hear a thing
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
As some of you know I regularly grumble about bits of plumbing that seem to fail on a regular basis. Well this time it's the shower head holder, ours is on a rail so you can move it up and down. Much needed here as OH is a whole foot shorter than me. The side that holds the head has cracked and split, the plumbing shop sold me a universal fit one but it's rubbish all wobbly as it's supposed to "adjust" to fit rails from 18-25 mm. I really do not want to have to drill new holes in the tiles so now need to find new one the exact size of the old. Oh and BTW, the on off valve to the shower is leaking as well. Is nothing made to last anymore ? 😠
@Allotment Boy, We had the same problem on our old shower fitting, the actual holder was only made of plastic which cracked. I was not impressed. However I think you will find that most, if not all, shower fittings are now a universal size so that new screws do not have to drilled into tiles. Our new one is such a type and we are very pleased with it, it doesn't 'wobble' at all. It was a Bristan one. Not quite sure why yours is not a good fit.
