I live on the ground floor and on hot nights I dab Vick or China oil (peppermint oil; tiger balm would also work) on my temples, neck or top of the head. The menthol is volatile and creates the sensation of cold. Not suitable for small children though as if it gets it in their eyes it stings.


A friend swears by soaking a small cloth in cold water and draping it over part of the body, but I find it a bit of a faff. Bowls of water close to the bed might help if you can get a breeze going, either a window or fan.

If the front of your house gets the sun during the day, close the blinds/curtains (I also hang big towels over the back of the closed shutters to prevent more heat building up) and open open windows at the back of the house (and vice-versa). Open the front windows once the sun sets. (I think I read that on here somewhere and tried it and it works.)

Thinking about it, perhaps you could put a sheet, pillow or whatever you plan to wear to bed in the freezer, or chill a hot water bottle, or put your feet on one of those cold packs you use for picnics. If it's hot tonight I might try one of those and see what happens.

FJD Goose, as for "This Heat" it is probably a lot of fun for the band playing that music, they might think they are great, as for listening to it, it's just a lot of head banging noise, couldn't hear what they were singin' ??? I could only stand 30 seconds. Probably targeted at a younger audience.


Lovely day today :-)

I think they had a lot of fun playing their music , nowt wrong with a bit of headbanging noise now and again. Wouldn't describe this ad that though.

Some people like the heat - look at the English cricket captain Alistair Cook who actually performs better.


Personally I'm unfazed and sleep under a duvet and wonder around with a jacket during the day.


The other ten months of the year I'm freezing and wearing three layers.


Consider yourselves lucky you only have two months of it.

    • Copleston centre hire for adult parties 
    • Most churches rent out halls for children's' parties but rarely adult parties, Christ Church only does afternoon parties,   The East Dulwich Community centre hires out halls to 9 pm only and all music needs to be on a sound restrictor as is in a residential area. St Johns with St Clements have a small hall but not sure if they allow adult parties. Nunhead Green has a newish community centre with a couple of different size halls. Most places seem to charge around £40 ph  with a deposit of £100/200 (returned if no damage or excess cleaning needed.
    • Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.
