I feel the cold so easily it sucks, but I only have 1 hwb which is past its best, I have my eye on a new one
My HWB split last year. Luckily it wasn't when the water was hot though. Think I'll just stick with lavender/wheat/cherry stones bags in future. Much easier just heating in microwave than filling HWB

Maybe I like the misery
no. don't see the point of them when you have central heating. who want a heat source so close and right against your body? eugh

Leccy blankets are far better. Although my kid has a bagpuss hot water bottle, I don't want him getting too soft! 
When I was a kid I stayed at a mates house and her granny put boiling water in a glass lemonade bottle and wrapped it in a towel to heat our bed. There were no accidents but my mum wasn't best pleased!

My grandma used to use a copper warming pan, with coals from the fire, to take the chill off before I got into bed.
One of these?
I quite fancy what I've seen in China (well I saw it on Inn of the Sixth Happiness), and they slept on concrete beds that had sort of ovens underneath them. I'd like one of those

Yes, bung a few coals in, then poke it under the bedclothes and move it around till the bed's warm or your house burns down.

I'm a bit like 'him'. Hot water bottles are good cos you can kick them out of thermal range when they get too hot.
With a living partner even if you smother them with a pillow they take hours to cool down.

Get a cushion cover or other suitable size thing and fill with wheat. I got my wheat from the pet shop(sells it loose) Dunno if that's doable down by you. I think it's 2lb wheat takes up to 3 minutes in the microwave. I can check if you like?

Nope dont find the need, even sleeping alone in a currently unheated flat naked. Infact its about the perfect temperature this way
Have you checked yourself for a pulse recently?
I love my hot water bottle, have just bought new fluffy covered one, its a good idea to keep an eye on the water you empty from a hot water bottle, if there are bits in it, its time to get a new bottle.
My granny used a stone hot water bottle to heat the bed
minus the rolling pin which I'm guessing is for scale.

worked it out now!
ooh...what's that with the bits?...I had that recently and then sometime later (many weeks) I had a leaking bottle.
I bought my friend a hot water bottle last year....he had complete kidney failure which for ages went undiagnosed and he couldn't stay warm so the grey fluffy bottie I got him was perfect.
