Hi everyone,
Just wanted to share a tip if, like me, you’re struggling to sleep in this heat.
I’m four days post-surgery and had not managed to sleep much thanks to the heatwave and return of hot flushes. A very kind friend dropped off a medium sized dog cooling mat for me. I asked my husband to put it in the freezer and apart from a brief misunderstanding when I found our dog lying on it I’ve been using it and managing to sleep.
Mine was from Home and Bargain but all the supermarkets and pet shops have them.
That’s a great idea- thanks for sharing
