I like that. I wear black..."Houdini Quick Change".. I like that. I wear black leggings (the cotton "stretch pant" type) under everything in the winter and I sleep in them as well.. it helps with the quick change. Its supposed to be 12F tonight and I'm going to go out and cut some more firewood ( I use a saw.. I'm far too clumsy for an axe)so we can have a nice big warm fire and I can be warm when I sleep.. I've been sleeping in the living room so I don't have to heat the other rooms while hubby is gone.<BR/>As for hot water bottles.. if you have a microwave- I would suggest you try my favorite winter trick. I make fabric bags (think beanbags) and fill them with cheap uncooked white rice (somewhere between 1/2 to a pound of it) sew them up and microwave for about a minute or two. They stay warm for HOURS and you don't end up snuggled next to a bottle of ice water or have leaks! I usually replace the rice in them or make new bags every 2 years because the rice starts to smell burned.Mousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03345829142268909884noreply@blogger.com
