EEEhhhh, when I were a lass, lol, well a long long time ago, before there was central heating or double glazing, when there were just coal fires we didnt have rubber hot water bottles! Mine was a stone one, with a screw in stone topper. It was digestive biscuit coloured and had in the past held ginger beer that was bought from the rag and bone man! EEEe by gum, those were the days lol.
Also, it was so cold in the house that you could write your name in the frost on the windows on the inside and the ice was quite thick on the bottoms of the windows.
It was really really cold!!
There were no duvets, just blankets, and they werent nice soft blankets, they were scratchy and irritating. It was bloomin horrible then, thank god for all mod cons!
All that change and i'm only 54 (55 on Saturday) eeekkk!!
