Hi,


I thought we could share any ideas we have too cool down our bedrooms at the minute. As well as a fan, my little one takes a "cold water bottle" to bed. I freeze a bit of water in a hot water bottle the add cold just before bed and put a soft pillow case on it. Then they can rest an arm or a hand or whatever on it if they choose. I have learnt to put a freezer block in front of the fan so the air blows past something cold on the way to him. Any other ideas out there?

Ah good ideas thank you! I'm going to put a block in the freezer right now. I've been getting a washcloth wet with cold water, wringing it out and spreading it over his bare tummy while we have our bedtime chat. I take it away when I say goodnight so it doesn't make the bed wet so might try the cold water bottle idea too.


I also keep his curtains shut during the day to try to stop the room heating up so much to start with.

Be careful- that reminds me of an episode of CSI when somebody did that and the block of ice melted and the water caused the floor to be electrified as the power point was in a pool of water and the guy died.....

Tried these a while back... they only really stick to skin, not fabric. They definitely didn't last 8 hours, but they are soothing for a while.

    • Hello.   Thanks Nigel and Hparker 😀   I've got new slots available for new students looking for a piano teacher or guitar teacher.   You could start in the new term beginning September, or I'm also available adhoc-styles through the summer holidays at times.   I teach all ages, in most styles, in lots of different ways according to how you learn/like to learn.   Give me a call or text on 07730 402336.   I have connections to lots of performance opportunities/networks too.   I run regular events /student concerts, and play in bands/perform.   Natalie. 
    • So do I, but I think they are in trouble as well.  Anyway, that space wouldn't be big enough.
    • I'm not talking about Starmer. I was responding to a post which  said that  Corbyn was unelectable. How people voted in the "more hotly contested election" is irrelevant. Corbyn wasn't leading the Labour Party then. Starmer was. And the turnout for Labour reflects that. 
    • Reeves says she's in charge and no no's Rayners plan, what happens now?
