Hot Water Bottles...wtf?

[Nom de ploom]

So, given that my OH has absolutely no thermostatic control whatsoever, not only do I have to endure the smell of warm rubber in bed (no fnaars at the back please), it now accompanies her at the dinner table and on the setee of an evening.

And becasue its now got a bit colder she has the bed one so hot she has to move it ever 15 seconds, honestly its like trying to sleep in a paddling pool.

accompanied to this, the heat makes her legs itch and that sounds like woodwork class due to her unneccesary long nails so I have to try to get to sleep in what feels like a GCSE woodwork proactical next to a paddling pool.

for those that think I'm complaining she has HWBs in july and august this year...

crap rant over...there is no need for them really is there????

You could get a hot water bottle cover like this to get rid of the rubber smell.

Personally I like them in the middle of winter.

Put the heating on?

Electric blanket for Xmas?

Microwaveable heatables? Our kids love theirs, think they had a lavender aroma originally but that's long since gone!

Worst 'my girlfriend is so hot in bed' thread ever.

I'm going to go left field and suggest getting rid of her and replacing with an 18 year old Thai girl.

Radical, but it'll solve your problem.

Put your heating on.

Women at work here have mini ones on their laps in winter as it's sooooo cold apparently.

Very good.

Bloody dangerous, what if it bursts...

Treat her to a nice cover or something and some bed socks so she stop scratting

also maybe get her a better duvet 15tog and have a duvet each, get around the problem of sharing 1 duvet and being too warm.

Get a single electric blanket for her side of the bed and stop being so demanding, you should be happy that you've got a girlfriend at all judging by what some of the people say about you on here!

Another myth busted, women are annoying in bed. Do what every successfully married couple does, have separate bedrooms

I have the same issue with my cold blooded other half. I got her a fury cover (ooh er misses) which helps wih the smell of rubber.

Sounds like good protection for domestic disputes.

I was talking about his personal hygiene, not his looks!

Fortunately the wife isn't into "hotties" however her thing is the electric blanket, I bloody hate them, even if they have variable thermostats for different sides of the bed I still find that they heat my side up, she also forgets to turn it off, she will put it on an hour or so before going to bed and it has been known to be on for 24hrs; "oh I must have forgotten".

WTF is it with women when it comes to gas and electric spending, if I took a handful of tenners out of her purse and flushed them down the loo she would get the right dog on, however it is fine for her to waste electricity and gas, arghhhhhhh!!!!
