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.

    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
