Flisters, oh flisters,

My tired body craves warmth, so I'm looking at investing in a hot water bottle. (Also useful if I move and don't have a microwave because God knows that I cannot live without a kettle, ever in my life, even when I move into the upper canopy of the Everglades during the zombie apocalypse and live off of canned jam.)

I'm looking at Amazon, but if they're attractive/well rated, they're expensive. If they're not expensive, they're ugly and have serious flaws. I want something with a cover that won't leak hot water all over me and my mattress in the middle of the night.

Suggestions?

Huh. Down here the Walmart/Target equivalent sells water bottles for...idk, about five bucks? You've got to overfill them pretty badly to get them to leak. It never would have occurred to me to look on Amazon.

Nope. None of those shops (or the pharmacies) around here sell them. The CVS (a pharmacy shop) near my work sells heat packs that you microwaves - I got some for my mother for the holiday - but that's not what I want. Target Online has one....but with shipping it would be almost $30.

I found a 72 oz one on e-bay that's 10 bucks with shipping. Imma go with that one. I can knit me a pretty cover after the holidays. Or - if I get the sewing machine I wanted - I can sew me one for a first project.
