Extreme Hot Water Bottling

MadPatrick

So now that it's winter and the nights are freezing(Tuesday was the coldest night in 63 years) it's time to roll out the hot water bottles.#

Now the question that occurs to me every time I fill one is: If I fill this with only boiling water, will it pop a leak?? I daren't tempt fate. But it also comes to mind, surely someone does it regularly/tried it once and can confirm that this will/will not/ maybe sometimes happen.

Location: Edinburgh....

I'm pretty sure it's not arctic conditions up there either buddy. Explain yourself!

But on topic, boiling water's fine. Just make sure you squeeze it a bit before you throw the cap on so it doesn't compress too much as it cools as the vacuum can make it a bitch to open afterwards.

I don't live in Edinburgh either, I've been meaning to change that for the 4 and half years since I left.

Maybe I should have surmised.

Are hot water bottles safe if filled with only boiling water, as in not mixed with a little cold water??

Yes, very much so! I've always just put water straight from the kettle in the water bottle, never had any issues!

Any hot water bottle I ever owned had 'do not use boiling water to fill' (or something similar) on the side, so I'd say no, add some cold water first.

electric blankets ftw..:cool:

admiralofthefleet

fill a few coke bottles with mentos and put them in your bed

Rabies

I know you feel OP.

This winter hasn't been very wet yet, but we've had some chilly nights.
Lack of insulation and radiators in the house doesn't help

Use a blanket when one the couch and wear a hoody.
In bed its two duvets and another blanket.

Even the cat sleeps beside me to stay warm

questionmark?

WTF is this thread a windup or is the OP residing in Siberia cause last time i checked its bloody 20degrees outside!


and BTW wonton who doesn't like strawberry yogurt??

MadPatrick

I'm not in New Zealand or Serbia, but the 2 quilts is a good one. The mornings are the worst. I fucking hate winter.:mad:

Op, put boiling water in, but maybe 3/4 full, then squeeze out all the air until the water is nearly coming out of the lid and seal. The steam should fill it out again but won't pop. That's what I've always done anyways.

AH answer, get an OH to snuggle up to, or hookers. (don't forget the coke!)

I have to send her to bed earlier than me(12year olds need more sleep than adults) and then she whines when I get in with my icy cold hands and feet

Should that be changed to Sydney?

Just get extra quilts/blankets and you'll be grand.

You win, I don't have a prize though.

I got a new wireless modem yesterday, you can have the old one. It doesn't work but you can sell it for scrap

Ah crap, I thought this thread was about the art of shagging a chick really fast and hard and just when she's about to have a multiple orgasm, slap her in the chops with a hot watter bottle.

Mint Sauce
